Photos from the 2013 CB Classic

Framework Racing 2

 

 

 

 

Photos were the prize of the day. Every athlete in this year’s event was presented with an 8 X 10 print of a personalized  action shot taken by Tera Camus. Her photos were taken at the time trial on day one, manipulated for printing, printed, identified for every rider and given out after the race on Sunday.  Sounds simple enough, but it’s a long day of work and the athletes appreciated our personal touch.

Here are some other photos taken at the 2013 Cape Breton Classic. If you have some you want to share, let us know and we’ll add them here.

Christmas Ad Featuring Dave Harley

At FrameWork Cycle & Fitness, we’re very proud of the quality advertisements we create. Our ads are written and produced right here in Cape Breton,  mostly in partnership with NewCap Radio and aired on 101.9 The Giant. Normally, we create new ads every year for the different seasons to keep things fresh and up-to-date with the products and services we offer. This year is a little different. One of our ads now has some special meaning for us…

We’re honoured to have had one of Cape Breton’s funniest talents featured as both protagonist and antagonist in one of our Christmas ads from 2011.

 

Best known for his role as General John Cabot Trail of the Cape Breton Liberation Army (CBLA,) Harley died in November after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

 

He performed at the Halifax Comedy Festival, on TV with CBC’s Royal Canadian Air Farce, has been featured on CBC Radio’s Madly Off In All Directions, and took the stage of banquet halls and taverns throughout the Maritimes.

 

Harley was from Sydney Mines, where he had lived in recent years. He was in his early 60’s.

 

Thanks Dave!

 

Now playing through the Christmas season on 101.9 The Giant.

 

Have a listen…let us know what you think.

Murray snags bronze

Inline image 1


Cape Breton was represented this weekend at the Providence Cyclo-Cross Festival in Rhode Island. FrameWork Racing Team’s, Daniel Murray of Dingwall, raced to a podium finish on day 2, picking up the bronze medal in the Category 4 Men’s division. There were over 900 athletes from all over North America, racing at this event. Categories range from junior 10-14 year olds up to the Elite Pro Men and Women.


Cyclo-Cross is a relatively new sport in the cycling world where athletes use specially designed race bikes to compete on dirt track courses that have obstacles and other challenges throughout the course. Races are relatively short, usually 30 to 45 minutes of flat out action around a narrow winding track of dirt, mud, fences and stairs. Cyclo-Cross is a highly visual event perfect for spectators and designed to fill the gap between the end of the road race season and the beginning of the winter sports season. The Providence Cyclo-Cross Festival draws 3000 spectators per day for the 2-day event. For more information on this event goto http://providencecrossfest.com/about-pcf/
