I loaded it up during my scouting mission of the new Tree to Sea Loop on Vancouver Island this fall, and I’m sure it will naturally take on the roll of winter commuter rig as we head into 2022. It packs a lot of punch for $2,000 USD and has quickly become my go-to bike for zipping around town, linking together gravel paths and the occasional trail with ease. Each model has the same aluminum frame and full-carbon fork, a 1×12 drivetrain, hydraulic brakes, and a dropper post. The Doggler is a modern, category-bending rigid bike that’s offered in three different builds: city, gravel, and mountain. Released in September of last year, I jumped on the opportunity to test out the Hudski Doggler, which led to me purchasing it for myself a few months later. Find a dozen items that have stood out for me in 2021 below. Several of the items in this list were either used during or inspired by that trip, and all have earned an enthusiastic “thumbs up” from yours truly. I’m perhaps most proud of the Tree to Sea Loop-a 1,000-kilometre gravel loop around the lesser-known areas on the north end of Vancouver Island. With that said, I’ve still managed to pack in a handful of local overnighters and route scouting missions here on the coast, four of which are now published as route guides. I’ve started riding with flat pedals more often, challenging myself on steeper trails that fall outside of normal bikepacking terrain, and most importantly, riding with the new friends I’ve made here in Powell River quite regularly. While I love the freedom and challenge of long-distance rides, keeping local has encouraged me to hone my technical mountain biking skills instead. “This will be a major test for our new powers over our borders where we can prevent people entering the country if they are not playing matches that are sanctioned by the sports governing bodies.”Īsked by Labour MP Alex Davies-Jones if would “do whatever it takes to stop the European Super League from going ahead,” Mr Dowden said: “The short answer is yes.Although I spent most of 2021 around my new home in Powell River, British Columbia, I was fortunate enough to spend a great deal of time on my bike.

He said: “We now control our own borders, having left the European Union. Labour's Clive Efford suggested foreign players representing rebel teams entering Britain for games should be stopped at the frontier. Mr Dowden said: "It's very interesting to note that German teams are not participating in this – that makes the case rather for the fan-led review looking at the German model and it will be doing so." He urged ministers to “look to introduce legislation to immediately break up their ownership structures and bring in the German model where 51% of the club is owned by the fans and custodians of their club?" He also pointed to full-throated condemnation of the rebel league from across Westminster – suggesting there would be widespread support for fast-tracked legislation.Ĭonservative backbencher Huw Merriman called for a German ownership model of clubs in England to be examined. “We are well aware that competition is going to come into play in this scenario,” he told MPs.

Mr Dowden revealed Whitehall officials and lawyers were examining using competition law to thwart the plan. Tory James Cartlidge said: “Where a league operates on the basis of not having relegation, and is basically based on the wealth you have, that must be a cartel.” MPs from all sides of the Commons urged the Government to use competition rules to stop the breakaway league, pass new laws to overhaul club ownership, and ban players from rebel clubs entering the country to play matches.

"They should understand their role as custodians rather than cartel chiefs." "The hedge-fund owners and billionaires who treat football clubs like any other of their commodities have no care for history of our football, for the role it plays in villages, towns and cities up and down our country and especially for the fans who are the beating heart of it.

She said: "Football governance is broken, football finance is broken, and football fans whichever club we support, are ignored. Shadow culture secretary Jo Stevens said it was "a watershed moment" and tore into the rich owners of clubs for acting like "cartel chiefs". He also said aspects of governance reform and competition law would be looked at, alongside, work permits and policing arrangements and taxation. He hinted that changes to the law could be fast-tracked to allow the Premier League and the Football Association to take action against the English clubs seeking to join the European Super League. If the football authorities are unable to act, Mr Dowden said the Government will "put everything on the table" to prevent the creation of the new league.
