Evan knows how to push himself!

Watch this and tell me this guy isn't giving me a 10 out of 10 effort! I love my job and I love coaching people who know how to push the limits! Look for Evan Muller-Cheng to rip it up in 2011!!

Hay Hay....yeah yeah

Check this out

Kevin Pollard - 400 watts with style!

Kevin has a bit of power to spare. That's what happens when you drop a ton of weight. You keep that "big man" strength and enjoy all the power that went along with carrying a 100 extra lbs with you every where you went. Here is a video of Kevin muscling out 400 watts at the end of a ramp test. Looks pretty comfortable to me...what do you think? What out for Kevin in 2011! He is looking to rip apart a few group rides this spring.

Kyle Rupay is back in 2011!!

Here is a picture of Kyle rippin it up at the F.C.V last weekend. He has a new bike, fast legs and a great attitude!! That's why he will be back racing for us in 2011!! We are very proud of Kyle and everything he brings to our team. We really enjoy supporting and developing young riders and when they are as nice as Kyle is just makes everything we do so worth while. Thanks for the great season Kyle and we look forward to seeing your progress over the years to come. If you would like to help out and sponsor our youth development grassroots team please contact Ed Veal at real.deal@rogers.com

Rea has come a long way!

I've been working with Paul for some time and I'm very proud of where he is at and what he has been able to accomplish in a short period of time. Here is a video of Paul cranking out some solid wattage on the indoor trainer. Nothing better than giving a big effort and getting rewarded with a big number afterwards. If you think you might want to enjoy a few hill top sprint wins stay away from Paul. If you think you might want to enjoy the same success Paul been able to enjoy it is time to get a hold of me, I can help. Contact Ed at real.deal@rogers.com 0r 905-251-8810

More ladder drills...

This is a fairly easy ladder drill. I have the ladies do it 3 times one way and I try and switch it up to have them laughing and tripping all over themselves. This video will give you an idea of what a bootcamp would look like with you and your friends. This kind of exercise is enjoyable for all ages and all levels of ability. Come try a class with us this week

Real Deal Racing - Weekly Bootcamp

Here is a great vid of a bunch of the finest ladies in the area working extremely hard during one of my weekly bootcamps. Does it look like fun? If you have any interest in joining a fun group of females contact me at real.deal@rogers.com

New website is in the works...stay tuned

Sister power! Hayleigh and Kendall rock the ladder

When these two stop being mean to each other they actually get a good workout in!

Here they are showing there fast feet with a simple ladder drill. If you have a teenager that would like to join in with these two and do an hour on the bike and then an hour on the floor doing a bootcamp style class Monday and Tuesday night please contact me.

Kellie knows how to train!!

This girl is tough! I meet with Kellie once a week and every week I'm blown away with how hard she works and her dedication to being in great shape. She gets up early to train everyday and then works all day at a pretty intense job. She comes home to her little ones and then even as tired as she is...she kicks some serious ass in the gym! And this little clip doesn't do her justice either!!

Mike Barry at LaBicicletta

Mike Barry of Team Sky was in town and I had the pleasure of meeting him and spending quite a bit of time with him while we were getting the shop ready for his book signing. I'm a big fan of him as a rider and I was very impressed with him as a person, he had tons of time for me and went out of his way to sign everything and make time for everyone. Thanks again Mike!!

We welcome Waldon to the Real Deal crew!!

Waldon Moreau is working on becoming a very competitive triathlete like his mom. He has been apart of the Newmarket Eagle youth program I run the last 2 years and thinks I might be able to help him out on the bike. If I can get him biking as well has this kid can run we might have a future Tri - stud on our hands!

Paul and his repeats!

He might be wearing the wrong gear in this video and his Real Deal arm warmers might be on backwards but Paul Rea has come along way this year and I couldn't be more proud! We were out today and hit this climb 7 times. I got him to try it a few different ways and really made him work on his kick over the summit. I really enjoy working with people who can push themselves! Thanks for giving it your all big man!

Did I mention its been a good year?

This year has been great for me for results on a bike and in my coaching business. This past season has flew by mostly because I have been busy building my client base and working extremely hard to be the rider I want to be. I love this sport, I love racing and I think I love coaching more than I could have ever imagined! I want to thank all the great people in my life, I couldn't have done any of this (starting a business/winning races) without you!!

Guess who coaches this stud?

Luke Corry ripped it up on Monday at the Terra Cotta RR and he has a cup to prove it!!
Congrats big man! Its the first of many!! I see big things in this guys future and I'm proud that he has chosen me to guide him to the top!

Craig VS The Mill!

You cant fake it on the step mill. I have said it before and I'll say it again..... when your working out....WORK OUT! If your reading a magazine or shooting the breeze with the knob beside you your not going to see results. Try reading on this machine, its a killer! Thats why its almost always empty and free to use
These are harder then they look. Adding the kick really cranks things up. Craig is seen here doing 20 of these bad boys and he fights through it like a champion!

Jaimie White future female pro?

I have been working with Jaimie now for a few months and she is truly a delight to be around. On top of being a very sweet happy person this 15yr female is really riding beyond her years. She has seen steady progress and even won her first road race and TT at the Newmarket Eagles Tour De Speed!

Tim "TT" Dayfoot

Here is a video of Tim Dayfoot finishing off a hard effort out on the road. Tim comes to me every once in a while just to get a little tune up before an event. Tim just got his new TT rig and came to me to work on his position and to get him in the right frame of mind for this weekend. He has seen tons of progress and I wish him the best of luck on Saturday.

2010 has been good to me!

I have to say I'm really enjoying my season this year. I have had some personal break troughs and some results on the road that I can be truly proud of. With everything that we put into training and all the sacrifice and suffering we endure its nice to be able to have a bit a fun and flex for the camera! I hope I can show many of you that you can compete at a very high level and still find time for a good laugh, your friends and family, to have fun and of course be yourself! Its all about balance folks!! I can attribute a lot of this years success to just being a bit more balanced in all aspects of my life.....you should try it!!! I can help!!

Coaching 101

I love my job! I know this is what I was meant to do, I feel it every time I work with someone. The rewards are incredible and I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing and helping someone reach there goals. I've had a few busy weeks and haven't been able to update this site as much as I would like but please know I have a lot of great posts in the works!! Congrats to Jaimie White who won both her TT and the RR at the Tour De Speed this past weekend!! I'm off to Nationals in Edmonton on Wednesday so look for an update and a great result from me a week today!

Mental toughness

Do you have the ability to concentrate for long periods of time? What about belief in yourself? Confidence? How relaxed are you? These are skills you may have in everyday life (or not at all) and they may be things you may have worked on to get you where you are today BUT are they something you train for in cycling or sport? This is where I can help. I can work with you on a few things on top of just the physical side of training. This is where a coach and someone with experience can take you a bit farther than just the average training program. I really believe the mental part of training and competition is just as important as the physical side....Maybe even more!! Call me today to kick start your season NOW! Its not too late

Lets welcome Kyle to the RealDeal roster!

I'm proud to say I will be coaching Mr Kyle Rupay!! Kyle has been racing for a few years now and has decided he wants to take his training to the next level. I will be working with him on his cycling and introducing a weight training plan to make him more of a well rounded athlete. Look for future posts on his development and race results.

Come race with me

On Tuesday nights I will be racing the Midweek Tuesday night crit. I have been working with a few people who want more experience racing and there is no better way to train to race than....to race! I will ride the course with you, give you tips and help you along and then you can watch me in action during the late race. Contact me for details.

Kevin Barrington gets his first win!!

Here is a picture of Kevin tackling the last climb at this years Paris to Ancaster. Kevin and I have been working together for a few months now and one of his goals was to crack the top 100 at this race. Kevin smoked it that day and came in an amazing 60th out of 2000+ riders!!! Another goal of Kevin's was to win an O-cup at least once during the season, well he got that out of the way nice and quick and won his category at O-cup #1 at Mansfield on Sunday!! Even through a bit of adversity Kevin was strong minded and got the job done. At the P2A his cross bike went down and had to borrow a MTB last min to as least start the race and at the MTB O-cup he flatted on the last lap and still pulled off the big win!! Congratulation Kevin! Your amazing to work with and it is nice to see all your hard work pay off!!

Do you trust your training?

Are you second guessing everything you have put in over the winter? Why? Is it because you didn't follow everything the books say? or are you reading 3 at once? Is it because your confused on who's direction to follow? If follow any direction at all? It isn't too late to get a little help from the local fast guy, personal trainer and NCCP coach in training who has his training dialed in and is happy to share a few tips. I can calm you down and get you back on track. Going to the line doubting your fitness and training up to this point will only take your mind away from the task at hand. Contact me if your interested in a little tune up. I can get you back in the right frame of mind and maybe open that mind up to a new approach to training. Call Ed today - 905-251-8810

Studio 992 - Indoor bootcamp +

It is getting warm out and we will be doing a combo class of indoor and out door bootcamp in the near future. These classes are just what you need to get in shape and feel good about your body in a bikini ( or speedo) These classes are for everyone! Everyone can benefit from this type of workout. They are open to all levels (even beginners) and we really would love to see you come out!!! PLEASE come and get in shape with us. Email, call, text.....TODAY!!!! 905-251-8810

Hill repeats with Simon Knowles

Simon worked extremely hard during this one. We did hill repeats on a pretty solid pitch up in Queensville. I train on this climb quite a bit and it is a staple for me and my training so it becomes a staple for everyone on my coaching roster. You can't fake it on this hill or you come to a complete stop, even in your lightest gear this is a workout. Want help with the Niagara O-cup? Contact me! Want to know how to drop your buddies? Contact me! Even if you just want to finish a century ride.......Contact me!

CP VS THE STEP MILL

This is how you get in shape, the step mill is BRUTAL! You can't read a magazine on this one folks!! If it is at your gym get on it!

THE TIME IS NOW!!

Are you still going through the motions? Pretending you know what your doing? If every group ride, tour, weekly race or weekend O-cup your wondering why your just not keeping up why do that to yourself again? Quit setting yourself up for failure and let me help you have your best season yet! I can show you how you can juggle life and be competitive at the same time....

Contact me today to get started......NOW!!!

Jaimie White...what a delight!!

Here is Jaime working out with me at Studio 992. I feel lucky to work with this future cycling star!

Simon Knowles knows pain!

Nothing better than working with someone who knows how to push themselves. Simon has a very high pain threshold, he can suffer with the best of them and in this sport it can take you many places. I have him doing a high seated effort to mimic the lead into a sprint, then he stands up and finishes off the interval. This is a very important workout for any level of rider and one that most rec level riders ignore. Let me show you how important a strong sprint is, give me a chance to prove to you that this might be the one area you need " a coach" to help you with.

Training camp hangover

This was a pic right before our first ride last week, happy and ready to take on the hills. After a 30 hour week and living like a pro coming back home to real life is....HARD! I call it the training camp hangover. I hope the guys know it will get better and the hangover won't last too long!
I had a great time boys! Thanks for an amazing time and I hope to see you down in N.C next year!

Ceasers Head - N.C Training camp

The gang down here gave it everything we had today riding 14okms and racing up the Ceasers Head climb (No George H today) The weather has been incredible and the riding has been even better. Big day tomorrow riding into Highlands and then its a full day on the Blue Ridge Parkway to finish off the week.

BOOT CAMP!! Tonight!!

6pm and 7:30pm! $15 a person.... Don't be scared!

Paul Rea - Working like a dog!

Here is Paul Rea finishing off a very hard effort. Paul is looking to find that extra gear and I'm going to show him that hard work gets you everything. Finding his max and then training close to it will have Paul flying this year! If your not working this hard now please start!! Base miles are great but don't let that term give you an excuse to do nothing all off season. Your incredible base won't help you much when Paul puts the hammer down and decides to ride you off his wheel. If you need a little push or are training without any or very little direction please don't hesitate to contact me, I would love to help!! real.deal@rogers.com

Thank you! Food collection a great success

Thanks to everyone who donated food! It is really appreciated! All of the food was donated to Pathways of york region www.pathwaysyorkregion.org

George Hincapie rides with the REAL DEAL!!

Yes.....that's George Hincapie with us at the base of Ceasers head!! I'm down here in S.C at the Jet Fuel Coffee camp and we just so happened to bump into big George while he was out for a training ride. He was nice enough to chat for a bit and even told us about a few of his favorite routes, then we got to ride with him up the Ceasers head climb. He showed us a cool little pitch to begin the climb and the first km of it was a 20% grade that had the entire group dropped in the first 30 seconds. Only Chris Freeland and myself stayed with him as we muscled up the climb in our smallest gears. I twisted my bike back and forth redlining it just to stay with him for as long as I could. We made a turn and then began the "real" climb. If you want to hear more just email me and I will tell you all about it! It was an experience I will never forget!!!!

Here is a recent interveiw with George

Monday Night Spin Class....is still on!

Email or call me (905-251-8810) to secure a spot for tonight! Should finally be a sell out!

500 watts for 20 seconds.

Scott came back from the holidays ready to rock. He had a very active trip but was off the bike for a few days, I wanted to get him right back at it by challenging his will and fitness. 20 burst - 1 min rest then repeat. Scott was well over 500 watts for the full 20 seconds

Scott is so pumped about his numbers he's yelling them out to me!

Simon says.....

Here is Simon in the Roman chair, if you haven't tried this they look a lot easier than they are. The first few are quite easy then once you hit the 8th -9th rep your begging to stop.

Air Simon! 1 full minute of these will have you winded. Want to become explosive? Want a workout that will improve your balance? Contact me today!
