Onward & Upward

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 [...]

Ned Shred

Lil video from the ride in Nederland, CO with my teammates Chris Baddick & Jordan Williford. We managed a great day on the bike and just ducked the oncoming snow storms. Perfect trail conditions (except for all the trees that were down). Loads of smiles all day long…

On the road

 Seems like forever since I’ve really been able to sit down and type something up for the ol’ blog.  Apologies after I’ve literally been on the road  for 4 out of every 7 days for the last 3 weekends.  It’s finally good to just sit home and do nothing.  The dogs are finally starting to [...]

Bikes

Momentum

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 [...]

Winter is still here

Yes, winter is every bit still here.  Cold temps and steady snowfall over the past week or so have remained.  Everybody is grumbling about the cold and the snow.  I’ve embraced it, it’s really not all that bad.  I’ve dealt with plenty of cold, harsh winters back in Upstate NY and well, honestly this is [...]

Lil of this, lil of that

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 [...]
