No idea why I used a french title, maybe too much watching the tour last month?  Anyways loads going on around here.  The biggest news is I got a new article published in the CycleOps Power newsletter!  If you’re subscribed to the newsletter you probably seen my mug in your email inbox (subscribe here).  If [...]

Took another good opportunity to go back down to Naples again this weekend.  After putting in a killer night ride in this past Wednesday with Casey & Hanggi, where we ripped up OCP & Cutler in the dark.  I figured putting in a little more time and keep burning in that HardCore 24 course.   [...]

Went big on this past Saturday.  Decided to head down to Bristol/Naples area, get in a 6 hour ride on the mtb with some heavy climbing and some singletrack ripping.  The plan was to start at Bristol mountain, ride over to Stid Hill for a bit of a warmup.  Climb Stid Hill all the way [...]

Hopefully by this evening or sometime tomorrow I can get my race report up from the Handlebars Spring MTB Classic at Sprague Brook park in Buffalo that went down this past sunday.  Ended up 3rd, down 12 secs on Nathan Chown and Dan Staffo (who were on cross bikes).  Yeah, yeah, if you can ride [...]

Hit the greatest race in New York state up this past weekend. The Prattsburgh Rambler. 30+ mile dirt road race with some intense descents, few bits of singletrack and some ferocious clims that top out well over 20%.

Alright, so it’s been a bit of a while coming, what can I say, the off season is busy. You have lots of things to do, sit on your ass, eat greasy food, play xbox and drink beer. That’s a lotta stuff to fit into a small window of the season. Recap: Day 2 Day [...]

See Day 1 here: Day 2 El Reto de Quetzal Upon arriving back at the hotel from day 1′s journey. I was in such a distorted state I could barely function. I quickly cleaned up and hit the hotel for lunch. I had to eat. HAD to eat, so much so that I couldn’t actually [...]

Ok finally…not all but at least it’s Day 1 It’s not too often that you take your definition of “Epic” and completely redefine it. Most of the time the word often gets overused a bit, but I doubt there is a better term for the El Reto de Quetzal race that I participated in October [...]
