Title: Finding fitness with two wheels and a stretch of road

Mag: Canadian Business Journal

Issue: September 2009

This is one of my favourite magazines to write for, as I often get to cover topics that aren’t within my regular “beat.” This issue, I got to interview a Canadian Idol and a Paralympian wheelchair basketball medallist, as well as create a snowsport gear guide.

The magazine’s website is here. And here are my stories:

• The Olympian: Chris Stoutenburg

• The Rock Star: Drew Wright

• Gear up! On The Bay’s guide to buying smart this holiday season

Metzger is one of Southern Georgian Bay’s elite ski racing alumni, a product of the extensive network of ski racing programs available to our speediest young citizens. Thousands of children participate in local ski racing programs every winter. In an area inundated by almost a dozen ski hills and as many racing clubs, ski racing has long been a rite of passage for the youths of local families.
