Alyssa Myshok fords a River - 2004 Trans Rockies Challenge KREBS HISTORY Krebs Cycle Club was formed in the mid 1990's by a group of cyclists looking to improve and train together. Peg Hill, along with other early members such as Paul Blanchette, Jay Peterson, Sue Paul, and Robert Major built up a club with the philosophy that all disciplines of riders would be welcome: mountain xc, downhill, road racing, track and triathlon. This built a unique group of riders who could each bring assets from their chosen disciplines. Under the tutelage of Peg, there seemed to be nothing this mix of riders could not achieve. Although having lost a key member with the departure of Peg in 2001 as she sought opportunities to coach with the nation team in the UK, the club continues to grow building upon concepts she established. Peg's ideas & philosophy behind training still remain in our regiment. Further to this, many members have stepped up to take on a shared role in setting up training programs and running events..

WHAT'S IN THE NAME? Krebs Cycle Club name is taken from a play on a words describing a series of chemical reactions carried out in the living cell dealing with the breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide & water. We like the play on words, and all benefit from the cycle. In most higher animals, including humans, the Krebs cycle is essential for the oxidative metabolism of glucose and other simple sugars. The breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water is a complex set of chemical interconversions called carbohydrate catabolism, and the Krebs cycle is the second of three major stages in the process, occurring between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.
