Training has been moving well and fitness has been moving forward the last few weeks.  Whiskey 50 was not only the kick start of the race season, but also a good kick in the pants to get some hard training in and keep moving forward with fitness.  The reality that the race season is truly [...]

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 [...]

This past weekend, made the 3+ hour trip up to Steamboat Springs for the inaugural Steamboat Stinger 50 mile mountain bike race, presented by Honey Stinger.  I’d heard great things about Steamboat Springs and its riding. So I was psyched to sign up early for this race and go check out a cool course. Rolled [...]

Well, up until about 10pm last night, I’d have to say this past weekend was definitely one of the greatest.  That was all thrown out the door though when Lizzy started throwing up last night and constantly whining.  I thought at first she might have had just an upset stomach, but then she was throwing [...]

While I was back home in New York, was lucky enough to hit up the Park Ave Camp Arrowhead XC.  Weeknight cross-country racing at the YMCA in support of a great cause.  I raced it 2x last year, won the first race and DNF the 2nd with a busted front derailleur.  It was nice to [...]

Just came of a near perfect weekend.  Temps were gorgeous all around every day (and actually getting even warmer today).  Decided to hit the road on Saturday and ride up Lefthand Canyon all the way up to Ward.  Last time I was out here, I had ridden the climb a whole bunch, but actually haven’t [...]

I love this time of the year, the days are getting warmer, the trails are in great shape and the legs are really starting to come around. A handful of times every season, I get to go ‘MEGA’. Years past, it was always my favorite routes down in Naples (& I have a tear in [...]

So Lil late on the Front Range 60 report, but better than never.  I know it’s really hard for everyone here on the front range to remember, but it was actually both dry and warm on race day a few weeks ago.  The race course was pretty simple 6 laps x 10 miles with some [...]

Some more great pics from Days 3 & 4.  Day 3 we headed over to Grand Junction and rode the “Lunch Loops”.  Lots of small little loops, but lots of short steep climbs.  With the fatigue in our legs it became a difficult day for sure.  Didn’t help that I had flats 5, 6, & [...]

Early this year when the trails were in primo conditions and I was ripping along, I had some thoughts to invite my favorite riding partners and great friends to come out for some trails.  ”Wow, would be awesome to shred trails out here with Mark & Suzanne, wonder if I can get them to come [...]
