Gossip!
rough conversations that should probably not be public, fuck it, here we go:
This is kinda my daily routine, wake up, sprint around the car a few times. Worth watching the whole video for the last 5 seconds. Entrainement sprint GerolsteinerUploaded by Petit_Brun – Check out more sports and extreme sports videos. bike racers. sponsorship. teams. I threw my hands in the air: “man, I am maxed out. [...]
Nothing more annoying than people who are inconsiderate of other people.
I wrote this post a year ago and got a lot of shit about it. And today, I read about a near-fatal accident on the very bridge I was complaining about at the bottom of my post. That 2 minutes of my commute is the worst. (on nice days and in the summer particularly) I’ve [...]
Open letter from a fellow business owner.
I came across this letter (below) on the Oregon Bicycle Racing Association’s email list. Written by the owner of a very successful local shop. I think it speaks clearly the idea and belief I share about putting back into your community. Specifically the racing community. Though the lines between “evil” internet mail order shops and [...]
rest week!
Thanks Dean for the video: So good. Track Worlds. I was hoping to see footage of this tangle. One guy’s front tyre pops off the rim. Other guy skids all 200+ pounds of himself back upright. Sick. Did a couple of little cols this Saturday. The “ronde” van Portland. I started the ride and wanted [...]
Gossip, drama and bike racing.
I got nothing! Nothing. I ride my bike in the snow and rain, a lot. And I really don’t feel like writing much about it here. I transferred all of my riding data to my new computer and I was skimming over all of my ride notes from 07 and 08. Every other ride reads: [...]

20+ hours, base week 3, Portland Bicycle Studio, fixed my laptop.
I moved the Portland Bicycle Studio out of my current office and finalized the details for my move up into the P.A.C.E. on MLK in NE Portland. Very sad to haul all of my fitting equipment out of the studio downtown yet also very, very excited to get started in the new space. Here is [...]
Training camp. Day 3. work. coffee. ride.
I’ve got some catching up with BSG to do. Spent a good chunk of time on a BMC Promachine. Photo dump here.
Training camp. Day 1 Sausalito California.
Being back in the Bay Area is a slap in the face of nostalgia and memory. I am a reflective person yet, not prone to regret. It is amazing being back here again as, until recently, I’ve always considered San Francisco my “home”. I had never lived in any one city for longer than a [...]
Brief pre-California update:
(daveO – I used the PRO Vibe carbon fibre handlebars! PRO was very kind to me this season. I would normally NOT suggest running a carbon bar for cyclocross. But after the beating I gave the PRO vibe bar… I would recommend them. They are still in great shape.) Tired. The “off season” is over [...]
