Goals

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 [...]

Snow Day

Firstly, I hope everyone had a most excellent Christmas. That Santa brought them whatever goodies they wanted. While we were stuck here in Colorado for our first Christmas away from family in New York, it was still an enjoyable day. Great news & congratulations to my sister & Sean who are expecting!! In case you [...]

High Country

Just came of a near perfect weekend.  Temps were gorgeous all around every day (and actually getting even warmer today).  Decided to hit the road on Saturday and ride up Lefthand Canyon all the way up to Ward.  Last time I was out here, I had ridden the climb a whole bunch, but actually haven’t [...]

Rockies and Rolling

Wow, what a great (but crazy) weekend just had here in Colorado.  I took Friday off from work & spent some time with Lake.  It was his spring break week off from school.  Decided it would be a great guy trip to head up to the mountains and spend the day at Rocky Mountain National [...]

Over-Under

Trainer time here in Boulder today, got a lil freeze here lately, but things are definitely looking better for these next few days. Jumped on the rollers here at FasCat for some Over-Under work.  Essentially 30 seconds at low anaerobic work to create some suffering, fill up that cup full of pain and then 8 [...]

Devil’s Backbone

Never managed to get the rain that was forecasted for Sunday, thus heard some reports that Devil’s Backbone in Loveland was in awesome shape.  I was in desperate need of a dirt fix.  Weather here has been pretty golden, but with the snow that we had the trails just weren’t quite yet ready.  I last [...]

Little Gains

As you can see below, weather was pretty dang amazing today. Tomorrow is looking sketchy, but hoping to get a a short ride in on the dirt. Headed out with the big cat Frank himself for a short bit, up and over 4 mile, then up Poormans and down Sunshine. I dropped Frank off and [...]

Can’t beat it

As the cold snap broke for us this past weekend, these past few days have been absolutely gorgeous.  Managed to sneak out for some short but efficient rides.  Tuesday was a great day and headed up high to Jamestown, and down, up and over Olde Stage then again up and over Lee Hill.  Couldn’t beat [...]

Cabin Fever

So things finally thawed out a bit this weekend and brought some nice warm temperatures to the front range (& hopefully will continue!)  Got the message from Sonya Looney that she wanted to go big and go up on the mountain bikes.  I had a similar plan so we synced up and headed up.  And [...]
