Confident, Doubtful and Scared
Feb 02, 2017 Todd Brown
The moment before you sign up for anything the confidence is high. Then you sign up. A momentary panic. It’s real. You’re committed, and you might fail. In a bike race that could be failure to go fast, or even finish. What to do? My dad used to say (he still does), “Todd, you’ll have..
Podcasts
Feb 01, 2017 Todd Brown
Podcasts are awesome. The selection of topics is much more broad than radio, even satellite radio. Which means the podcasters can focus on very narrow topics and then go deep. Find a topic you like, and drown yourself in knowledge and insights. My top categories are: cycling, economics, marketing, fitness and “spiritual/wisdom”. My favorite cycling..
Start and Finish
Jan 31, 2017 Todd Brown
When does a race start and finish? When the gun goes off? When you get out of bed that morning? When you start your taper? When you sign up? When you start your training block? When you eye the event on the calendar? When you decide you want to race? When you buy a “real”..
It’s About Service
Jan 30, 2017 Todd Brown
Exciting things are happening in bike shops around town. SERVICE DEPARTMENTS. Departments are being redesigned. Work flow is being changed to allow for 24 hour turnaround – instant if it’s just a flat. “And that’s pretty cool” (shout out to my daughter and our days watching Hanna Montana). It’s pretty cool because that’s where shops can..
The Most Aero Upgrade Of The Year
Jan 28, 2017 Todd Brown
The car was idling. The heater was on. 39 degrees outside. At 8am, we were two dudes with safety pins and race numbers about to pierce pristine lycra… well, I was. Not Peter. Peter had his number turned over and was… taping it? What is that? Double-sided tape. How’s it work? Like this. Tape all..
My Favorite Bike
Jan 28, 2017 Todd Brown
My friends are flooding FB with requests that we all share pics of our favorite bike. The motivation is to change the conversation from political vitriol to something lighter, more fun and less emotionally charged. Thats the bike riding community for ya… kids at heart. The youthful heart of a kid can always overlook social/racial/economical/political/religious..
Prize Money and Spectacles
Jan 26, 2017 Todd Brown
Why have prize money for a bike race? Two good reasons: to support the professionals so they can continue to thrill and inspire us; to create a spectacle, a drama and catch the attention of the casual observer. Nobody really cares if Tiger Woods can sink a 6′ putt until there’s $1,000,000 on the line. Put..
You Don’t Need Permission
Jan 25, 2017 Todd Brown
You don’t need permission to pull through. Do it. You don’t need permission to sprint. Do it. You don’t need permission to sit in the back and recover. Do it. You don’t need permission to start your own group ride. Do it. You don’t need permission to put on a race. Do it. You don’t..
Goals Are For Losers
Jan 24, 2017 Todd Brown
Scott keeps telling me goals are for losers… Systems man, winners focus on systems. If your goal is go fast on a bike, that’s sweet… romantic. Won’t you be cool? Won’t it feel great? Fit. Fast. Svelte. If you don’t put a system like this in place it’s never, ever gonna happen. Here’s mine: Monday..
Episode 9: I Made Someone Mad Today, Now We Are Friends
Jan 23, 2017 Todd Brown
https://youtu.be/2YDUs9nDqDE (not why video player isn’t loading) A new friend (she wasn’t that mad), pinged me on FB and asked why she should do HUNKR if the women are poised to win less than the men? Sage that I am, I slept on it. Pinged her back, and she said let’s chat. Awesome! We chatted. She..
Episode 8: When To Eat?
Jan 21, 2017 Todd Brown
Figuring out when to eat on Race Day or Big Ride Day is trial and error… the trial is the fun part, the error… well, it is only a big ride/race so it’s not gonna be catastrophic… could hugely foul up your plans. Take today for instance. Today had all kinds of miscues. Normally, I..
