Ride With Purpose
Nov 22, 2016 Todd Brown
If you’re going to hit it hard, hit it ’till you puke. If you’re going easy, spin like you aint got a chain. Do it with purpose man, don’t waste your efforts. Mix it up. Listen to your soul – set a goal. Make it count, and when counting don’t make no sense… … take..
Can’t Touch That
Nov 21, 2016 Todd Brown
See that old light? That mostly used tire? That old thermal vest? That old helmet?… Keep ’em all, until they are a minimum of two upgrades behind. They’ll be needed. When you can’t find your good light, like I can’t right now at 8pm when the local bike shop is closed, it’s so nice to..
Aren’t You Ever Tired?
Nov 20, 2016 Todd Brown
That’s what a friend asked me… if I’m ever tired of riding my bike. I thought of Butch Cassidy. And Albert Einstein. And… me. I may be getting old, but riding a bike never gets old. __________ 172.4
A Few Things I Learned At El Tour De Tucson
Nov 19, 2016 Todd Brown
Do what ever you can to get into Platinum… there are probably 300 people in the corral, starting ahead of 8,000. I slept horrible without my favorite pillow… bring yours if it matters. 5am wake up in Tucson, is 4am wake up in CA… you’re not gonna be thinking too good when you rise. It..
Lots of Energy, Not Too Much Testosterone
Nov 19, 2016 Todd Brown
Lots of energy, not too much testosterone… that’s the Platinum Meeting of El Tour De Tucson.  The Platinum Corral means you’ve either been very fast in the past, or you’re a wily one… it also means you’re starting in front of 8000 other riders. Riders… not racers we are proudly told and this is not..
Jeff Bezos and Amazon Are The Enemy
Nov 17, 2016 Todd Brown
We are getting ripped off as a company.  We are getting ripped off as consumers. Jeff Bezos just keeps getting fatter, greedier, and lazier. I don’t go in too much for fear, but this is a mess. We have this cool little t-shirt brand, DHDwear.  We’re in bike shops across the US and Canada. People..
Wednesday Night Lights
Nov 17, 2016 Todd Brown
For MTB night riding you need lights. Thank you Captain Obvious. How many and why? At a bare minimum 3. A tail light: in case you are riding pave to get to dirt, AND in case you get dropped by your buddies. A front light: basically the most powerful light you can afford. Â You can..
Nothing to say… but, something to add.
Nov 16, 2016 Todd Brown
Charles says I can easily be under 10% body fat if I’ll cut out carbs.  That would be about 10 lbs.  Heard/learned this on Tim Ferriss’ podcast on the drive home tonight. When I weigh in, I completely blow off the body fat % that pops up after the lbs. For me, under 170=happy, over=sad… scratch that..
Building a Team Brand
Nov 15, 2016 Todd Brown
Part of building a team involves building a brand. Velosport is a local team we work for. They have their main logo, but it’s rarely seen. Like most teams, sponsors cover their jersey, and canopy.  That’s proper, the sponsors are paying the bills for the team. We gather all those sponsor logos and make all..
Ridin’ With Nelly
Nov 14, 2016 Todd Brown
The first time I saw Nelson Vails was ’84.  The first time I rode with him was in ’88.  The first time we connected was ’12.  Today he called. Pull up chair kids. The summer of ’84 was a special one for me.  I’d just returned from a church mission to Mexico.  English was a struggle...
Racing Is A Lot Like Going To Church
Nov 13, 2016 Todd Brown
You got your Sunday best, jersey and bibs. You got your chapel, race course. You got your preacher, race promoter. You got your congregation, racers. You got your opening announcements, racer meeting. You got your opening hymn, the National Anthem. You got your sermon, the race. The sermon, for most of us is hell, fire and damnation...
