Ok, I’ve double checked the date several times. It’s only March 4th, but it 75 friggin degrees and I’m ripping up bone dry singletrack?!? I’m not sure what I did to deserve this luck but, please let it continue. I noticed Sonya was heading to ride the Heil/Hall loop so after a quick chat, we [...]

Man, yesterday it was crazy windy here in Boulder. Although temps were decent, the sustained 40mph winds with 60+ mph gusts kept me off the bike. Luckily, monday was a nice day and I put in a nice recovery ride to keep the legs stimulated. Seeing as today was such a nice day, but I [...]

Today was the “official” first day of my 2009 racing season. After a great week off, and spending loads of time with my new fiance Bridget, it’s time to chamois up and get ready for the program. I’m really psyched for this off-season. Much more so than the past few years. Last year was quite [...]

So it’s been 2 days of sleeping and eating loads of comfort food after the Humbler. Seriously think I could have easily consumed 20,000 calories a day if I didn’t stop myself. Yesterday I pulled out the Singlespeed and headed over to glenwood in Geneva to stretch the legs a bit. Temps were cool and [...]

I showed up at Farmall on tuesday night, slightly unaware that it was going to rain. Conditions had called for rain possibly later in the evening, but en route, I realized was going to be a massive thunderstorm.I kitted up, and took the singlespeed out for a few laps on the slightly slick course as [...]

I headed down to Hollister-Spencer on Saturday to burn some laps on the singlespeed. Conditions were typical Spencer. Muddy in sections, but fully rideable. I felt a little sluggish on the SS. I went out and did a road crusher Friday after work and was still feeling the effects of that. As a result, I [...]

No riding, no racing, no training. This past week was my mid-season refresher. I caught up on a few things, had some barbeques, slept alot and ate anything I felt like. Tonight is my return to the grindstone. Some tough weeks ahead as I look forward to the 6HOP and then onto my next 24 [...]

Got out for a nice early road ride with Mark and Suzanne Hartman this morning. What a beautiful morning it was. It felt great to get out and stretch the legs, especially after last night Glenwood World Cup. I rode the Single Speed again and Mark was on his new Blur. He was pretty much [...]

Yesterday, was a nice ripper of a day down at Shindagin Hollow. Mark, Suzanne, Chris, the dogs and I bailed on our original plan of pulling a century around Cayuga Lake on the road bikes and hit the trail instead. It was a cool, crisp and wet day. I rode Mark’s Singlespeed (Fisher Rig) for [...]
