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 [...]

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, not quite my new mountain bike, but that is ACTUALLY here, just awaiting on some SRAM XX parts.  But, I did finally get myself a new road bike! Rossetti Vertigo Now, I realize, it’s not quite all that in the road cycling world, I mean look at it, where’s the carbon deep dish wheels?! [...]

Finally back from Tucson Arizona after the 24 hours of Old Pueblo.  It was a long, fun, exciting, tiring, warm, cold, fast, exhausting, hilarious and exhilarating weekend.  It was great to finally be at a race with my Epic Pro and Epic Endurance teammates to kick off the new season. We fielded 2 teams, a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
