Race reports ah coming

August 18th, 2009

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, I was [...]

Its about time

April 15th, 2009

I have to admit, posts here have been few and far between. Honestly, I haven’t had much to talk about. Up until now, training has been mostly the same of doing a few intervals, doing some long ride, blah blah, yada, yada, nothing too interesting to read about. I haven’t had the camera out either, [...]

More trainer time…

March 11th, 2009

Last night, I got to log some more trainer time and there is nothing good about that.  I did a bunch of spin ups, working on my cadence and put about an hour and a half.  I was pretty suprised that I felt pretty good on the bike, especially since this is the first time [...]

Big news and big rides

March 9th, 2009

Woa, it has been quite some time.  I guess that can be a good sign.  I have been super busy with all kinds of good things.  Things I am REALLY excited about. First, let’s talk about the training.  Coach has me doing some really great workouts.  Things that last 2-3 hours and not drilling me [...]

Still not recovered

September 10th, 2008

I have been taking the last couple of days off to let things recover a bit. Sure, I should be doing a recovery ride and such, but I didn’t…cause bikes are broken.  For being as good of a mechanic as I am, I am WAY too lazy to keep all the bikes in working order.  [...]

Millstone Grind Race Report..

September 8th, 2008

So I did it.  I got my sorry ass up at 5am and drove for 2 to ride my bike around in a circle for 4 hours.  And even though I was tired as hell for the entire time, it was a good time with some great racing… Saturday night, I packed up all of [...]

Tomorrow there is a race in Barre, VT.  I would like to do said race.  However, the race starts at 10 (not to bad) but registration is at 8am.  That means I have to be up my 5 and our the door by 6 at the very latest.  So the question of the night is [...]

Back at it…

August 19th, 2008

Got my new 29er single speed all built up and ready to go.  More on that one later once I get some pictures.  Anyway, I got everything built up on Sunday night so Monday was the day.  I had planned out about 2 hours of pedaling and all was going according to plan up to [...]
