Yes, winter is every bit still here.  Cold temps and steady snowfall over the past week or so have remained.  Everybody is grumbling about the cold and the snow.  I’ve embraced it, it’s really not all that bad.  I’ve dealt with plenty of cold, harsh winters back in Upstate NY and well, honestly this is [...]

Well, Winter finally came to Colorado.  In a big way.  This past Friday saw a big dumping of snow on the front range area.  I was prepped and ready for it though.  I headed up to Nederland with the Steel*Wool gang on Thursday night for my first time ever Skate Skiing!! I’ve downhilled a few [...]

As I sit here typing this snow is gently falling down on boulder.  1 day of winter isn’t all that bad compared to the great weather we’ve had.  So far though it seems like most places across the country are getting mild temps.  I keep getting emails from all my back east athletes, asking to [...]

Firstly, I hope everyone had a most excellent Christmas. That Santa brought them whatever goodies they wanted. While we were stuck here in Colorado for our first Christmas away from family in New York, it was still an enjoyable day. Great news & congratulations to my sister & Sean who are expecting!! In case you [...]

Yeah, I’ve been training some. Slowly kicked things back off this last week of thanksgiving. Been nice to get back on the bike as the weather last few until today has been good (Right now though we’ve dived full steam into winter). Between bike time and getting back into the gym, slowly starting to accrue [...]

Wow was it windy this past weekend! If you attempted to get outside here in Colorado you were well aware. You can see below the wind speed span below from Saturday through Sunday morning. Wind speeds peaking near 70 mph during Saturday’s ride and hitting nearly 90 mph overnight! That made for some fun riding [...]

Way late on this, but better late than never right??  But I figured I would get something out there quickly.  My goal is to update this site a wee bit more often than every 3 weeks! Lots of stuff already out there on How everyone finished (2nd Place Overall-Team Omnium!) -FasCat Blog -303 Cycling -Singletrack.com [...]

Literally , signed with the Epic Endurance Team to race with for 2012 season. The team was a force to be reckoned with during the 2011 season and I bumped into the riders at nearly every race I attended.  So it was a natural fit to ride for them (can’t beat em’ join em’).  I [...]

Wow, it came and went without any celebrations, but technically I’ve been in Colorado for 1 year. I only remembered when I got my email from REI telling me happy anniversary!  I’m not going to do a year long recap of sad sappy photos and stories though.  Sorry to disappoint but you can look through [...]

Like I mentioned in the previous blog post, I’m now the University of Colorado mountain bike coach.  Part of that job entails heading to the races with the team to provide support, encouragement and make sure everybody is where they need to be for their races.  Part of it is herding cats, but lots of [...]
