Sani2C in pictures & words

By Urban Ninja | Published: March 8, 2010
Trying to describe the emotions of a race like Sani2C would be impossible just in words, no matter how good your lyrical skills are. The race is a beaut, lived up to more than what I expected and I will be back, year after year. It was a test on so many levels for the [...]

Learn about wine

By Urban Ninja | Published: March 1, 2010
Not a particularly sports orientated post, but I love wine and these guys do a better job of explaining it to me than anyone else I have ever come across. Check out their tasting events calendar and make sure you attend in your city. We have sat and ruminated on what tastings to bring out in [...]

Super Sport TV Ads

By Urban Ninja | Published: February 26, 2010

Tirelessly

By Urban Ninja | Published: February 23, 2010
So I am struggling in the last week, officially. I figure its better to put it out there, rather than do the typical athlete thing and keep it to myself. My experience on the weekend was just a manifestation of this “kidding myself” process in the last few weeks. It all started with a big [...]
