TOUR DE DONUT 9/30 DETAILS
PREPARE TO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES of donuts and water alone. We’ll be rolling out from my house at 630am on Saturday, September 30th. Those in for the whole ride will be weighing in before we roll out… this is for science. I can only predict the first stop, Surfin’ Donuts. We’ll be there about..
WHAT’S YOUR AVATAR?
DO YOU HAVE AN INSPIRATIONAL AVATAR? You know, are you a Marvel super-hero: Wonder Woman, Flash, Thor? Are you Rocky screaming “Adrien!” bleeding and victorious? Do you go to sleep dreaming of the RoadRunner – faster and smarter than a pack of coyotes? It’s one thing to be yourself, it’s quite another to be more..
REFUGEES
LUNCH WAS AWESOME TODAY, we were supposed to talk about T’s and other products for GQ-6 and wound up sharing family histories. Two of our respective families were 80’s/90’s refugees. Richard’s wife was on the last helicopter out of the Hanoi Hilton. Imagine that. You’re 5 or 6 years old and your parents scoop you..
THIS CHAMPION’S HEART
THE APPRECIATION AND LOVE WE FEEL FOR PETER SAGAN is a reflection of the man himself. Immediately after today’s race he dismounts and starts walking. Throngs press. He’s cordial, but he strides on. Quickly. Where’s he going? Who’s he searching for? The press ask, what does it mean to be the first to win 3..
DINNER WITH CHRIS CARMICHAEL AND BRIAN CO
LAST TIME CHRIS CARMICHAEL CAME TO VISIT… 300 people joined me at the Oakley building. Why? Because Chris is the number 1 Cycling coach in the world. This time, it’s going to be more intimate. On October 11th a few of us, less than 10, are going to have dinner with Chris and get the..
I FOUND THIS INCREDIBLE CRAFTSMAN
I FINALLY DROVE TO SEE THE GUY who I paid in January for a new bike. He wasn’t returning my calls or my emails. So I drove 4 hours to pay him a visit. You won’t believe what I found. Your bike I hope. Yes, the bike was ready. How is it? That’s not why..
SUNSET BLUES
THE DAYS ARE GETTIN’ SHORTER, theres a tiny bite in the air fall in Socal no leaves changing, but lights added warmers donned fair weather riders find excuses the committed. find courage and camaraderie with the faithful Us, the few that ride no matter what. (don’t let the sun go down on my spirit)
WHEN I PLAYED FOR THE EAGLES
WHEN I PLAYED FOR THE EAGLES… wait… say that again… he smiles, When I played for the eagles… (really, how could I forget that?)… say it one more time… When I played for the Eagles, in Philadelphia… He didn’t offer this, it came up in conversation about college football – the one thing that makes..
AND THERE’S MY BASELINE
IT’S 547AM AND I’M HUSTLING to load Trevor’s car with our bikes. It’s been 2 years since he did The TMWC. He just bought a new bike, and this will be his 2nd ride since taking a long break from the sport. I know I’m stoked to have my number 1 riding with me, but..
HAVE YOU STARTED?
HAVE YOU STARTED THE WORKOUT YET? The rocks in my skull shifted… workout… workout… hmmmm… The Maximum Overload workout? Yeah! Not yet. Don’t have the book yet. Did you? Yes!… go easy. This is the first day in a week that I can barely walk. Haha… okay, will do. Thanks Jim! Here’s the problem, as..
Blunt
GENERALLY, I PREFER NUANCE, but I’m failing to make my point regarding USA Cycling. Saying competitive cycling is on the decline is like MySpace saying social media is on the decline. MySpace was squashed by FaceBook the minute it was purchased by Rupert Murdock… because his vision was not forward looking. Social Media has exploded,..
