Terry McKall
Terry McKall is a mountain bike specialist who writes and edits digital coverage for Canadian Cycling Magazine, with a focus on off-road racing, gear and trail culture. His work combines detailed reporting on World Cup events with service pieces that help fans follow races and understand formats. He also brings in-depth features on Canadian riders, teams and custom bikes, alongside coverage of trail issues and gravel adventures.
World Cup racing and Canadian results
McKall’s core reporting tracks World Cup mountain bike racing, regularly highlighting how Canadian riders perform at key stops on the calendar.
Recent pieces include coverage of the Jewett brothers earning career-best results and chasing a podium at the Whistler World Cup, where he explains the significance of those finishes for Giant’s racers. He reports on Rafaelle Carrier’s podiums in slippery Lake Placid XCC, linking individual results to a broader pattern of strong form through the season. Around major events such as the Whistler World Cup, he writes pre- and post-race features, including riders’ perspectives on the 1199 track and how Canadians carry experience from earlier runs into home-country races.
Team-focused stories are another strand, especially around Norco adidas Race Division, where he covers custom kits and bikes for the Whistler World Cup, preparations for South Korea, and the arrival of a new title sponsor. He switches comfortably between race reports and features, profiling riders like Finn Iles in a turbulent season and examining how they find balance off the bike. His archive stretches back to at least 2017, with pieces such as “Top 10 Canadian moments in mountain biking 2017,” showing a long-standing interest in situating current performances within the recent history of Canadian mountain biking.
How to Watch World Cup events
A distinctive element of McKall’s beat is a recurring “How to Watch” series that serves fans who want clear, practical guidance on following World Cup racing. These articles lay out broadcast details, schedules and time-zone complications, including how and when to watch the 2026 World Cup season opener in South Korea. He provides specific instructions for Canadian audiences on events such as Lenzerheide World Cup, where he breaks down downhill, cross-country Olympic and short-track formats (DH, XCO, XCC) so viewers know what they are tuning into.
Earlier guides cover races in Nové Město and the XC World Cup season opener in Petrópolis, Brazil, reinforcing that service journalism around viewing access is a regular part of his output, not an occasional sideline.
Mountain bike gear, custom bikes and design
Beyond race results, McKall consistently writes about equipment, technology and the visual side of mountain biking. His gear coverage includes pieces on bikes like the Canyon Lux Trail, where he describes how the model leans into its “wild side” while shaving weight, situating it among related platforms such as the Neuron and Spectral 125. He returns to the intersection of performance and aesthetics in features on Fresh Paint of Whistler, showcasing the custom shop’s work on some of the best-looking bikes at Rampage and detailing specific riders’ rigs.
Earlier articles profile racers such as Evan Guthrie through the lens of new components like Race Face’s Cinch power meter, connecting equipment choices to training and racing outcomes.
His long-running interest in the Canadian mountain bike scene extends to list and profile formats, including “10 B.C.-based mountain bikers to follow this winter” and “Miranda Miller’s Very Good Year,” which combine rider backgrounds, race achievements and setup details. Across these pieces, he treats gear not just as product news but as part of how riders express identity, prepare for events and adapt to different disciplines.
Trails, community stories and broader cycling coverage
McKall’s remit also includes trail and community stories, expanding beyond elite racing. In his article on trails sabotaged with small spikes on Vancouver Island, he reports on safety risks and the impact of malicious interference on riders and trail stewards. The focus is on how such incidents affect everyday mountain biking and the relationship between local communities and shared infrastructure. He appears in a Port Renfrew gravel adventure feature as a Canadian Cycling Magazine writer, joining a group ride that connects event organizers, racers and local riders on West Coast gravel roads. That participation points to an interest in experiential stories where the journalist is present on the ride, translating route details and group dynamics into narrative coverage.
Professionally, McKall works on the magazine’s website as a web editor, shaping online mountain bike content in addition to writing. He is one of the voices associated with the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, which tells cycling stories from road and trails, talks to pros and discusses gear, riding and training. Outside the masthead, he has experience in communications for a cycling retailer, developing shareable content and managing digital platforms, which complements his editorial role and helps align his coverage with how riders and brands communicate online.
Taken together, his work offers a mix of race reporting, fan guides, gear analysis and trail-focused stories, all grounded in the contemporary mountain bike and off-road scene.
