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 [...]

My favorite race(s) of the season kicked off last night; Farmall Hill Challenge.  This is the 10th year this race has been held, with 6 races a year!!  That’s alotta races. If you’ve raced this course you know it’s lots of steep killer grunt climbs, and essentially no recovery between the efforts.  Seriously, check out [...]

Last Nights workout, I did pretty much exactly the same workout a year ago when I was living in Boulder. It was a rest week as it is this time around and I was prepping for my first Off Road race of the season: Oauchita Challenge in Arkansas. It was also my last week in [...]

Literally, the gloves are off…. (well figuratively too!) Amazingly temps have been incredible for riding in March, we got crushed with a snow storm, then bam 45-50- even 60 degree days with loads of sunshine!! I’ll take it!!. Cause with Sunshine comes loads of motivation. Getting out there and drilling it for some “Over-Unders” Go [...]

Saturday, rolled down to Naples with Todd Scheske. Since he’s going to be my teammate for El Reto next month, I figured I better make sure he can ride a mountain bike . So nothing to do but take him on some of the toughest descents around…. The mountaineer/highlander was also going on down in [...]

Last Night was Farmall Hill Challenge #2. I’d missed the first week as I was traveling. I had some heavy motivation to get out there and shred the trails. I’ve not raced in a bit and I’m in full on prep mode for the Shenandoah 100. Here in Seneca Falls, we’ve had massive thunderstorms early [...]

Riding to the GBC group ride had me more tired than the group ride itself. 30 minutes of 95% of FTP to make it on time is some tough work. Felt good on the ride, odd as this was my 6th day in a row of riding. Glad to be taking today of and resting [...]

Things are slowly starting to fall back in place fitness wise. I’ve had a solid block of training these past few days and the fatigue is starting to catch up. Monday, I headed out and met the GBC Crew for some Monday Mountains and short and fun mtb ride. I’m waiting on a new rear [...]
