Robert Mayfield, at the Burnaby Velodrome, December 2023.

Robert Mayfield, cousin Rob. Robert lived with me for a winter of racing and training up here in Vancouver/Burnaby (for the velodrome) where we pushed each other to train, a lot. That first winter led to one of my best Spring campaigns of my racing career. Robert wasn’t the only factor in that, I know very well that meeting Angela that winter and the amazing headspace and confidence I’d found with my new partner influenced my bike racing more than most other ingredients.

Anyways, this story is mainly to say, that Robert’s Gretzky shirt is perfect, because one of the times he stayed with us I also tattooed a toque on him with a 99. He’s a great one too.
