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.
While the mid-Atlantic states have been getting pounded pretty hard with snow, here in New Hampshire, it has been [...]

Almost a month since the last post.  That has to be somewhat close to a record.
I am still here, sticking with the bike, doing the things that need to be done for another year of racing.  Let’s get caught up since we last left each other.
For the end of December, I went back home to [...]

Well, judging from my lack of posts, when I take some time off the bike, I apparently take some time off from writing on the blog. Ohh well. Let’s all get caught up to speed.
The last few races of the year went pretty well for me. The second to last cross race [...]

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 are [...]

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 night [...]

It has been a little bit since I have posted anything on here, but there is good reason for that.  I have been out there, in the trenches going to battle with some great riders.  There certainly are some great memoried built up from this last round of racing, as well as some very sore [...]

Things here have been pretty status quo since the 24 hours of Pat’s Peak  race.  On the riding end, I am just keeping the fitness up with a bunch of riding, including another 6.5 hour, 4 notch ride.  I had planned on a 10 hour ride, but my back limited how long I could actually [...]

Boy, where do I begin? It was a few stressful days leading up to the 8th annual Pat’s Peak Mountain Bike Festival. Unfortunately, my pit crew that was going to help me had an emergency of sorts pop up and was unable to help.  Fortunately, with some scrolling through my phone’s address book, [...]
