NOBODY GETS OUTTA HERE ALIVE.
Oct 19, 2017 Todd Brown
LATE LAST NIGHT AN INQUISITIVE EMAIL FROM DAVE CAME IN. I’ve seen a lot of discussion on this topic and my response is always the same. EMAIL SUBJECT LINE: EXCESSIVE EXERCISE MAY HARM THE HEART, STUDY SAYS. EMAIL MESSAGE: Interesting article but seemingly non-conclusive. Your thoughts? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2017/10/18/excessive-exercise-may-harm-the-heart-study-suggests/amp/ MY RESPONSE: Nobody gets outta here alive. I..
HABLE-VOUS THE DEUTCH AND THE 2018 TOUR
Oct 18, 2017 Todd Brown
ONCE UPON A TIME MY ROOMMATE TALLEY GOT THE BRIGHT IDEA TO HEAD OVER TO THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, which was really a school full of kids from everywhere but the US. The thinking was the foreign ladies would be eager some some actual American boys. Talley was also the roommate who came home with a..
TIME TO RIDE #1: EARLY START, EARLY FINISH
Oct 17, 2017 Todd Brown
WE’RE ON A QUEST AT THE OFFICE: start early, finish early. Jamming all we can into 5 hours of crazy productivity. The idea came from a video on YouTube about a paddle board company. It sounds ridiculous, but we’re going to give a 3 month trial. I can confirm, 1 week in, it’s different. It’s..
THE RIDE OF PASSAGE
Oct 16, 2017 Todd Brown
TREVOR, OUR OLDEST, LOADED UP HIS BIKE AND BOARDS and moved to Huntington Beach. Of course, he was on his own in college for many years. But, this move is different. It’s not even far away, yet it’s a bigger move. There’s a sense of permanence. Because, he’s ready and able. Like when the training..
THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT
Oct 15, 2017 Todd Brown
THE LONGER A GROUP RIDE EXISTS, the more it iterates. It starts with a few characters getting together at the corner. At the same time, each week. Then it gets a name: Como Street, Coffee Crew, TMWC, Food Park, Canyon Velo, Swami’s, Donut Ride, Simi, etc. A mother hen inserts herself, keeping everybody in line. The..
LEAKY LANES, SHAPING AND PARTYING
Oct 14, 2017 Todd Brown
TODAY STARTED EARLY, and ended late. First, I broke out of San Clemente at 6:25am to get to Redondo Beach and battle the Donut Ride. Last, I slipped into the South Bay Cycling Awards for tacos and culture. In between, was unplanned and awesome. Ah, the Donut Ride… a nice social jaunt through and around..
DON’T HATE THE HAIR
Oct 13, 2017 Todd Brown
MY HAIR IS GROWING OUT, on my legs and on my head. The legs, to remind me it’s off-season. The hair, to keep me warm as the days shorten and cool. None of that will matter tomorrow on the famed Donut Ride. I’ll be new, hairy-legged guy… and hairy legs are the signal to all..
WHAT’S MORE FUN?
Oct 12, 2017 Todd Brown
THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO RACE YOUR BIKE, some come naturally and some require great effort to master. But, what’s more fun? Sticking with the racing that suits your natural talent, might lead to greater success. But, pursuing a discipline that requires you to dramatically improve or change your body or riding style will..
I’M SHOCKED
Oct 11, 2017 Todd Brown
I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST READ, one of our most inspiring regulars is wimping out because… it’s tooooo cold?! First off, you are a seriously accomplished badass on the bike. You race in all kinds of conditions. Doesn’t it make sense to subject your flesh to a little harshness as part of the prep?..
I ALWAYS FEEL BETTER
Oct 10, 2017 Todd Brown
I’VE HAD A NAGGING COUGH FOR ABOUT A MONTH, Mike confided. Oh wow! I didn’t even know. Yeah, I always feel better on the ride. Everything always feels better on the ride.
I MIGHT LIKE YOU BETTER IF WE RODE TOGETHER – PART 2
Oct 09, 2017 Todd Brown
IT’S TRUE, RIDE WITH SOMEONE OFTEN ENOUGH AND YOU’LL END UP LIKING THEM A WHOLE LOT… makes me wonder: How many of the world’s problems could be solved… How many misunderstandings would be avoided… How many more friendships would be forged… How many riders would still be riding… How many social walls dissolved… … if..
