Racing!
Koppenburg!
Selander with a big ride up the Koppenburg today! Sweet! Good work Bjorn. 11th place is a bitter pill, that race is brutal! Proper barrier technique. I thought the original six were cylon models? I’m procrastinating before I head out for a wet ride. How many times can I shout “what the fuck are you [...]
Astoria! Let's race cyclocross, drink gin and wear funny outfits.
The funniest thing about everyone wearing costumes is that we pretty much wear goofy costumes every time we ride our bikes anyways. Sager’s photos are pretty good. Take a look. There was a team Vanilla – Gentle Lovers TRON theme. Which was amazing, and hats off to Mahoney and the GL crew for putting together [...]
Finally back at racing!
I started the Cross Crusade in Ranier yesterday. While not a glorious return, I played damage control. I’ve got no game right now. It felt so nice to be on the bike again.
Ouch!
Sven is down and out! Apparently Bart complained that he lost the sprint because he could not get his hands in a proper position to shift. Go figure.
ANTWERPSE SCHELDT CROSS, WORLD CUP AND INDOOR ZOLDER HASSELT CROSS, ARMSTRONG INTENDED TO START
Seriously? If we do see Lance at the Antwerpen race this winter it will be at the expense of few dozen other Euro renners. Something to think about: at the Euro races everyone negotiates start contracts. The big stars like Nys and Boom pulling more money to start a race than you can imagine. With [...]
Mil-WAH-kee!
I drove back to Milwaukee after the JP race today. My flight home is at 6am! ugh. The races, they are not so good to me. Had a decent start! And then my back cramped up on me again and I dropped anchor. So weird, I don’t what is happening. Same thing as last Sunday, [...]
coffee. round three.
Waiting to race. So, I’ll be posting up some photos from yesterday. We made some cornbread that called for flaxseed oil and all Jen could find were the pill supplements so, she cut open the little capsules and we squeezed out enough to use! I went on a spin and saw this old-timey water tower. [...]
Throttled!
Ouch! Got my behind handed to me today in Wisconsin. I salvaged a 9th place finish behind the Lalonde bros. the Wells bros. and co. Jon Page won, I barely stayed ahead of the 2 U23 Euro riders and I think the Swiss Mueller got 2nd. Apparently Jon Baker dropped out with an injury but [...]
Wisconsin.
Really, the last 30 seconds are the best 30 seconds: I am in Wisconsin. Sun Prairie to be exact. Staying at Dan (of Planet Bike fame) and Jen Powell’s house! It is very nice. Dan is still at Interbike, Jen is at work. I am putting my bikes together and working on work and more [...]
Starcrossed and Rad Racing GP-first UCI action of the season.
Tonkin and I on our way to NOT getting in the top ten. I did a decent ride at Starcrossed. I faded pretty hard with 4 to go. Shannon and someone else got me with 2 to go and that was it for the top ten. 11th place. Again. With my guts in knots and [...]
