Racing!
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?
When I find the time…
I’ll update my damn website! Let me think back… I raced a big-deal criterium a few Friday nights ago. Very fun, very fast. I like racing with road PROs. It is just so damn hard you can’t fake it and sit in. Not that I was doing much besides staying out of everyone’s way. — [...]
Let me expand on that:
It is not that a PRO racer needs be a responsible public figure for themselves or their team’s own good. It ties into the responsibility of every human being to act decently and with awareness of others. It never made sense that people cruise through life not realizing (or more to the point, not giving [...]
Cyclocross tyres + Elkhorn photos:
The dolphin, the goat and the moose. And the gerbil… All of that. For what? Glicker. Cara. Kenji. You become your power animal. — On cyclocross tyres: After some wrangling I am still technically a Dugast dealer. Thanks to those who deserve thanks and… I’ve got a boatload of Dugast Rhino’s in stock! More coming [...]
Elkhorn classic stage race! Drive home.
Yes. We packed the S H I T out of the rental. 4 bikes + 3 huge over packed luggage bags + 12 wheels + tons of CLIF product + double bike box + tired bike racers.
Elkhorn classic stage race! Day 1 wrap up.
H O T T. I’m back at the host house with my legs up. The stage was 75 miles, with 1 x 15 minute climb and a bunch of rollers on the way in to the finish. I was hoping to have more info about other riders but I got myself dropped from the peloton [...]
Elkhorn classic stage race! Day 1:
I got roped into racing a stage race in support of this guy. Racing on the Organic Athlete squad. There is a bunch of us here crashing in a couple of host houses. Using the wifi and eating veggies. This is our morning. Coffee (stumptown, yes), oatmeal, bananas, coffee, jus d’orange. Internet. About the internet: [...]
Let me lead you out.
I raced a local crit last Saturday evening. Finally felt decent enough on the bike to participate a little more than just sitting it! Not that I did a whole lot more than follow wheels. I misjudged the length of the sprint and finished 9th in the field sprint behind the winning break away. I [...]
