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 [...]

Home…Good ol’ Upstate New York.  It’s not often that I get to pack up and head home for an extended weekend.  I wasn’t originally planning on heading back east, it’s not like I can just jump in the car and drive there quickly.  But, Bridget and Lake had plans to head back for Spring break [...]

Wooooo freaking hoo!  I finally got to put some fat tires to dirt this weekend.  Thank to Alders for loaning me a bike.  Though it was of the little wheeled kind, I was so stoked to get out there and ride. Saturday was spend with Scott Upton and John G.  Rolled a bunch of dirt [...]

I was all set all weekend long to write about rolling the gateway with Sam & Deidre.  Loading up on extra miles and tackling big climbs afterwards and then reconning parts of the Boulder-Roubaix course… Then I got this picture from my brother of my nephew Peyton and niece Reagan.  It pretty much superseded anything I could [...]

Momentum is continuing on the training front.  The weather has been fairly in favor of training (except for all the crazy wind) and today was a short sleeve and jersey day to keep working on those tan lines!  I’ll happily take that anytime. Like the title implies, training has been going well.  That good feeling [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
