I like rid­ing bikes. I like maps. I like Typog­ra­phy. Thanks to Strava, I can com­bine them all.

Well, tomor­row begins one of those events I’m not entirely ready for. I don’t claim to be much of a run­ner but it is some­thing I find my self doing from time to time. Mainly from Fall-Spring. It’s great “off sea­son” train­ing and eas­ier to do when the weather is unfa­vor­able. Plus, the time commitment […]

The rac­ing sea­son is right around the cor­ner and I think most every­one will come out swing­ing hard. It’s been a pretty mild win­ter as for our “win­ter” activ­i­ties and for the most part, many of us have spent more time ped­al­ing than get­ting face shots. I’ve got mixed emo­tions about it all, but the […]

Some of you are well aware of my ter­ri­ble sleep habits that have been per­fected over the past few years. Think­ing about it, it’s prob­a­bly been a good five years or more to dial in the art of stay­ing up way too late only to argue with the alarm clock every morn­ing. It’s become an […]

Just when I though my Dia­blo MK. 3 couldn’t get any bet­ter, it did. Or at least the optional acces­sories. For those of us who spend a fair amount of time in the dark, here’s an way to brighten up the aver­age head­lamp or cause the crit­ters in the wild to go blind. I can’t tell […]

It’s called Strava. If you’re not famil­iar with it, I sug­gest you sign up. Over the past sea­son I’ve been using Strava, for more than just a map of where I ride. It’s way more. Strava com­bines all the data one could ever need to pro­duce a “tan­gi­ble” out­look on your train­ing or rac­ing. Every­thing from […]

Endurance nutri­tion is awe­some. For most of us there are a few items we really like to have in our back pocket dur­ing long rides and races. Items we’ve used in the past that have become a must have in our quest for sus­tained energy. Items that regard­less of nutri­tional value, help us get the […]

Yes­ter­day I had the oppor­tu­nity to ride with group of good old friends from the home-town. Years ago a few of these guys took me under their wing and taught me the ropes of road rid­ing, rac­ing and train­ing. I’ve always been par­tial the moun­tain bike and my focus is moun­tain bike rac­ing, but I […]
