What a day of racing… I have to say that I was very nervous about this race. Not really about the race itself, but how my shoulder would hold up. I heard TONS about the race course and just how rooty it was, and it did not disappoint. I got there a day early and [...]

The 24 Hours of Great Glen…boy where do I start with this race? It’s probably one of my favorites just because of how close it is to my house (about a 30 minute drive) and the fact that my lovely fiance is one of the event coordinators for the race… Leading up to the race, [...]

Wow, it seems as if this thing still works. Who would have thunk it? Sure, I still want to post to this blog, but there have been times I have been busy, VERY busy. First and foremost, training. That always takes first priority when I have free time. Things have been going just ok on [...]

I lied.  There as no racing for me this weekend.  But I do have a very good excuse for it. You see, ever since Kelly has taken her new job up at Great Glen, she has been forced to work weekends.  After all, that is when the majority of events are taking place and visitors [...]

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 [...]

24 Hours of Great Glen.  What to say about this race.  As a local, this was to be my A race for the year.  The one I REALLY wanted to do well in and get the top spot of the podium.  The days leading up to the race,  even with the race efforts of the [...]

The Wilderness 101.  Wow, where do I begin with this monster of a race? The race was scheduled for Saturday August 1st, so Kelly and I got packed up and left NH Thursday to make the trip to State College, Pa where the race was held.  A brief stop at my parents house on Thursday [...]
