Gossip!
yeah, she is fast, but it's not like she wins races…
ouch. After watching Cary Miller pour a little bit of his RedBull out for his homies, I realized I had nerves before starting this local cx race. It was hot and dusty and the course was bumpy as hell. My teammates Shannon and Kevin were 1st and 2nd in the overall ranking for this little [...]
The shoes.
Damn. (here is my tongue in cheek and slightly late tutorial.) Got a few comments and a handful of emails about the Shimano shoes. I like Damian’s comment about Adam having a thing or two to say to Shimano about the slickness! So, here comes a photo or two and a brief tutorial. Race.cx covered [...]
CX practice is getting weird.
It just hit me that I’ll be helping out at the OBRA Alpenrose Cyclocross clinics starting tomorrow! The flyer is here. — — What the hell?
Why do you hurt me so?
A couple months ago I had an amazingly shitty week of Automobile/bicycle interaction. I wrote about it. It was shocking how poorly the people on the roads were behaving. This morning was a little different. In a good way. Kid in his dad’s huge pickup honks at me from behind while I am doing intervals, [...]
When I find the time…

Starcrossed registration opened up yesterday. My teammate taking the holeshot registering in the Elite category while [...]
Minnesota.
Writing from Stumptown coffee in Seattle, Washington. Just flew back from an epic vacation to the mid-west with Pete. Epic. I flew to Minneapolis last Monday morning and after a shitty flight and brutal Greyhound experience, spent a few days relaxing in Alexandria: Birthplace of Autumn Peterson and Olof Ohman; finder of the runestone. Quite [...]

Big week behind me, bigger week ahead.
Whew! The legs are heavy. My mind is clear. – Did you know Oakley makes glasses for people with slanty eyes? Or so they tell us. I got an email about it. “this is 2008 right?” Yeah, and George Bush still does not care about black people. – Saving the weekend, is Bend’s own Horner. [...]
Sweet primered white camaro…
…took an oncoming deliberate swerve into our lane while out on Sauvie Island training yesterday afternoon. damn! Can’t get a break lately. — Things are good, things are really good. Training my butt off before shifting into high gear for a long cross season. The power is good, the sensations are positive. Things have improved [...]
