ugh. first cold of the year!

I’m not even racing again yet and I’ve got a cold again! Frail, weak, sickly vegan. ha! Spoke with Bradley Saul and signed up with the Organic Athlete Elite road squad. That means I may potentially put, Mt. Hood, Cascade Classic, Elkhorn, Tour de Gila, Tour de Nez and Toona on my calendar! Yikes! But, [...]

Snatched from another blog:

“Many female champions, such as Katie Compton have stated that to achieve her goals as a cyclist she raced with the men. This helped her become as strong as she is and achieve the level of success in a competitive environment. As noted in the most recent issue of Velonews: She finished an amazing eighth [...]

And you thought Transgender was not tough…

…holy shit! Ayla turned it up to eleven with this shit. Yeah, you can not wash that off. Now, I’ve got to step up my game.

World cup! Whirlwind lifestyle.

Holy shit! That World Cup carnage video is perfect. When is the last time you saw an elite pile up like that in a domestic cx race? Good Vegan article here! I’ve been forcing myself to take a month off the bike but, even if I tried to ride, I could not find the time! [...]

Back to reality:

Stayed up late last night after the race in Sint Niklass. I figure if I deprive myself of sleep tonight I can doze on the plane and start resetting my biological clock. Yesterday’s race was really fun. The only big euro pros there were Sven Nys and Jonathan Page. There was a Palmans Collstrop guy [...]

GP Sven Nys:

More of the same. Not feeling like I am riding full steam. Getting a royal ass kicking from the Belgians. Today was the GP Sven Nys in Baal. A mere 20 minute drive from my house in Tielt-Winge. Verge and I arrived a few hours early (as usual for me, 5 hours before my start [...]

Superprestige Diegem

A quick update: I got 40th place today at the Superprestige race in Diegem. After getting stuck behind EVERY crash in the first lap. I rode a clean race and stuck it to the little group I rode with for the last few laps. Full results are up at cyclocross.info. No broken equipment, no flats, [...]

Holy World cup!

Drove out to the Hofstade world cup a couple days ago with Verge to heckle the FBUK British girls and Parbo. Finally had a day to play euro tourist super fan. Bought a bunch of touristy crap, snapped a bunch of photos. I fully intended to write a big update on my site. Instead, I [...]
