IT’S A BIRD!
THIS REALLY HAPPENED. Finally, after years and years and miles and miles… it happened. How many times have a thought it would? A gazillion. But it never had. There had been close encounters. Near misses. But no hits. Until today… Just before dawn, in the chilly shadows, I was riding along the bike path above.. More
GO BIG, GO FAST
I’VE DONE THIS IN THE PAST, and it works. There’s no better time than between Christmas and New Year’s to get out and put some time in the saddle. Here’s the challenge: 20 hrs from 12/25-1/1. We’re doing hours vs miles, because it’s time in the saddle that counts… and that’s Time Moving, not elapsed.. More
IF I EVER CATCH YOU DOING THIS AGAIN!
I KNOW IT WAS BRISK, AND I KNOW YOU WERE FEELING FRISKY, BUT THAT WASN’T A RISK… THAT WAS PURE ROOKIE MOVE. I mean gadzooks, What were you thinking? Was it… I know this has never worked before but I just have to try it one more time? Or… I know this is the silliest.. More
FUNK #49
IT WAS A WICKED 48 DEGREES (that’s Fahrenheit for all my international readers), but when you roll out in just a jersey and bibs, in the dark… well dawgawnit, that’s pretty damn cold. So why do my friends up the Rocky Mountain Way gotta be calling me wimpy on my STARVA feed? I was cold.. More
OUR TOWN
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ROADS WITH NO BIKE LANES, DON’T RIDE HERE. If you’re looking for snowy winters, don’t ride here. If you’re don’t want to be tempted by sweet single track, don’t ride here. If you’re not interested in fun group rides, don’t ride here. If you don’t like riding with world class riders, don’t ride here... More
TIME AND DISTANCE
IN THE BEGINNING WAS DISTANCE, AND THE DISTANCE WAS GOOD. All that mattered was distance, and distance was all that mattered. We’d ride far, so it seemed, just to ride far. Let there be time, and the time was good. Time gave meaning to distance, and distance gave meaning to time. We’d ride far, it.. More
TIME TO RIDE #2: AUTOMATION
WE ALL WANT MORE TIME TO RIDE… this last quarter of the year we have made an effort to constrain our work time instead of letting it slice into the morning and then bleed all over the afternoon and evening. The best thing we have done is focusing on automation. The biggest step towards automation.. More
CRITICAL MASS
HAVE YOU REACHED CRITICAL MASS? Do your friends and family understand your commitment to a healthy life and having fun? Have you blocked out time to ride X days/hours per week to ride? Is that time sacred? Is your diet reflective of an athlete? Are you getting enough sleep? Is your bike clean and properly.. More
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
I JUST LOVE THE CREATIVITY MOUNTAIN BIKERS HAVE WHEN IT COMES TO NAMING TRAILS. Tonight we rode up Black Death, Passed 6 Kids No Brains, To Necessary Evil. Down Car Crash, To Ricky Bobby. Took Butch’s Connector, To Grinduro, Back up Black Death and Necessary Evil, So that we could drop into Hole In The.. More
TALK ABOUT A DOPER!
ALL RIDE THIS MORNING THE TALK WAS ABOUT OUR LOCAL DOPER. I’m going to leave his name out of it, but he is mighty fast… so, I’ll just call him MF. From the 630am start to the pathetically late finish at 740, the words blew around the pack… Man, this is an MF kinda day... More
THE TOP TWO REASONS YOUR DUFFLE BAG IS RUINING YOUR RACES AND RIDES
IF YOU’RE LIKE I WAS, YOU HAVE A TRUSTY DUFFLE BAG FOR RACES AND RIDES. Basically, a big open hole with a side pocket for shoes. Everything goes in there, and depending on the importance of the race you may or may have a checklist when you pack. Which is the reason your duffle.. More
