Yup folks, tis the season for the fun rides. While summer isn’t officially over it’s pretty darn close. Only 1 big race left on the mountain bike (el reto) and time to dial in the cross bike and cross fitness. Tuesday am I did some solo cross practice at the local rec center. Cornering in [...]

Great Day for a race down in Prattsbugh, NY. Finished 3rd overall, was in the front group but got dropped on the Hungry Hollow climb and never was able to close gap the over the top. No chance of me closing it on the roads to the finish with all the wind. Course was super [...]

Here it is…..what you’ve all been waiting for: The Prattsburgh Rambler Recon Video! (sped up a bit, because who really wants to watch 30 minutes of Hanggi’s rear!) Prattsburgh Rambler Recon from Jason Hilimire on Vimeo. Hope to see you all there this weekend, temps look to be great and the course will be super [...]

A few pics from today’s recon of the Rambler course. Rolling up the opening climb in the rain It was actually snowing at this point This climb always comes as a suprise Tree lined roads, feel like a tunnel Our own little taste of Belgium Hungry Hollow Climb The kick in the nuts at the [...]

Yes, I sat in the office doing work all day while it was 65+ and sunshine out. Headed home to grab the road bike for some 3 minute madness. Got through the first set, and the winds picked up all kinds of nasty. Sun hid behind the clouds, temps dropped down into the upper 40′s [...]

Seems everything I’ve touched today has not had the result I’ve wanted. My iPhone refuses to work in my house, nor will it stay connected to the wifi even though I’ve connected it up 100 times. My computer is acting funky, requiring a few reboots and facebook seemingly won’t let me log in. So what [...]

I’m retired to the couch for the rest of tonight. It’s been a big weekend of some great riding(for the end of the season anyways). I’m hosed currently, but I’m at least not coughing anymore! Saturday, I finally finished my first cross race!! I’ll happily take my place as the last finisher (at least I [...]

Yesterday made my way over to the FasCat Headquarters for the usual. Day to day stuff includes reviewing power files, answering emails, phone calls, and questions that come up. Yesterday, though was bit different, decided to earn some xtra coin and rake the lawn at the headquarters. I forgot how hard manual labor was. The [...]

Yesterday was good hard day of Cross Practice in Boulder. Up early to make the drive up and to be there by 8am. At least waking up in the morning, there was a great reason to smile. I’m proud to be a believer. But enough of that, wed was a tough hard day. My sinuses [...]

This past weekend was the Boulder Cup weekend here in Colorado. I decided I was going to go out and try my hand at racing with the big guns. Nothing like lining up in UCI C2 and C1 races, with very little form, and not really any time on the cross bike. Needless to say [...]
