Well, it seems like time flies by when you are having fun, or something like that.  At least that is the way it seems when you are riding in 40+ degree temps in February in New England.

Its been one week since my back has really started bothering me again.  I am keeping up with the few times a day stretching, the core workouts and everything that could possibly help when it comes to getting better.  Yet, some days, when I get out of bed, like this morning, it feels like I [...]

Yes, I was in Las Vegas, but no, I wasn’t able to attend.  Thank goodness for others out there and their video cameras.  Here is about 10 minutes of some quality Cross Vegas…

The last day of Interbike is finally over. I checked out all the new goodies from companies and now my “wish” list is longer than ever. There certainly are a lot of new nice and shiney products out there. So I sit here in the airport, finally relaxing. I knew this Interbike was going to [...]
