Welcome To Sports Slant (sSl)

A big shout-out to everybody! My name is Sonya Ewan and I'm a freelance sports and outdoor adventure writer. The spirit of this site is to highlight both professional and amateur athletes in their challenges, accomplishments, and victories. I strive to explore the human experience through writing that aims to be humorous and exciting with some wicked sensibility, speaking my mind at times with tongue firmly planted in cheek (lofty goals, i know). I hope to tease out enthusiasm for the discovery of a range of sports dynamics in full-fledged and dabbling fanatics alike, much as i was lured several years ago.... Along those lines, i'm always on the lookout for unique sports news and information to link.

On this site you'll find a blog, CHbLog, (okay, so it's more of a column) for fans of outdoor sports - primarily cycling - with some hockey news mixed in. During the winter months, the column will turn toward the professional, Double-A Central Hockey League with some cycling news mixed in. There's also a portfolio of my published features. And i've included a reader Q&A for amateur athletes and wannabes (go for it!) who've asked questions related to various training issues. The fantastic sports photo gallery will continue to grow, so check it out every month or so. For those of you who keep asking me, "When is such-n-such event?" click on the handy Events calendar to the left.

In the meantime rock on, stay solid, go play, have fun, Enjoy! sonya@sportsSlant.com
