Yesterday was new bike day! One of the greatest days for bike racers. I got the email that my bike had arrived from the crew at Geneva Bikes and rushed out after work to start the assembly. While Mark was finishing up his work, I did the unboxing, prep work and light assembly, aka I [...]

Yesterday was worthless. I slept for 18 out of 24 hours. I’m still a little bit tired today, but no where near yesterday. I consumed probably 5x my recommended caloric intake also yesterday, and it was great. Eating is good! Resting up today, then back to the grinder tomorrow

2008 Humbler is in the books. I’m completely wiped out today. 111 miles, 14,030ft of climbing, 12:19 of riding, 6229kj, 4 finishers. It took us 3 friggin years to finally complete our grandiose plan of ultimate misery. Mark, Casey, Hanggi and myself soldiered on for the final loop. Spent, exhausted, sleeping in the middle of [...]

This past wednesday saw the band get back together again. Mark, Suzanne, Casey, Hanggi, myself and even Brandon Furber and Chris Frey! We had quite the group. We decided to meet down in Naples and traverse the first loop of the Humbler, aka “dirty thirty”. 30 miles of brutal climbing and insanely ripping descents. We [...]

The Hardcore 24 was this past weekend. I raced the solo category for my 4th SOLO 24 hour event. I finished 2nd overall at the even 2 years ago with 16 laps and last year had turned in 9 laps before the race was called. My goal this time out was to turn in 20 [...]

Highland was this past weekend. See the writeup over on the 29er Crew site Farmall #2 is tonight. Hopefully, I can flip some things around and stay near the front this time. I’ve got my new toy to help me out. I picked up my power tap disc on from the GBC on thursday and [...]

Click for full Size Yesterday headed over to the Geneva Bicycle Center and headed out with a few new riders to hit the old Wheelman route. It’s about a 38 mile ride with a few rolling hills, nothing major though. I added a few miles by riding there and back. I was on the paragon, [...]

(EDIT: this is a carbon copy of my blog entry on the 29er Crew) I think the quote from the movie Cars, “I am speed!” is befitting now that I’ve got my Superfly in hand!! At least that’s what comes to mind when I look at it. I spent the better part of yesterday at [...]

Work has been incredibly boring these past few days. When you are a software tester; waiting around for the developer to deliver you an application can take some time. I’ve filled my days by continually hitting refresh on various blog websites and trying not to drool on my keyboard while I sleep. I do ask [...]

I went out for a ride on Monday to enjoy the weather, and well the power-tap wasn’t agreeing. Possibly cause it’s 4 1/2 years old? Literally the rear hub froze solid on me. I’m dropping it off and the GBC and let them rebuild the hub or it may need whole new axle. If it’s [...]
