WHY ISN’T STRAVA BETTER?
If STRAVA is social media for endurance athletes why isn’t it more social? It seams like with just a few tweaks it could be so much better and useful. A lot of riders aren’t on any other social media, they might be on more if the STRAVA experience was better. For examples: Why can’t the..
WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT
I truly believe we get what we focus on. Equally, I believe you cannot see a negative. When you say ride safe, I listen. When you say don’t crash, I tune you out. If you persist, I will stop talking to you all together. Our friendship could easily end. That’s how serious it is, for..
THEY RAN ME OVER
First off, nobody who calls themselves Robot is normal. It’s no surprise that he prefers to race in the single speed category at a mountain bike race. But… looking at his bars all twisted, the yard of dirt on his shoulder I could tell this was going to be special. They ran me over. What..
HEY TODD: WHICH BIKE SHOULD I BUY?
Dear Chris, You’re not alone. This is a difficult topic to broach, especially with you spouse or partner. Here is my proven formula for getting the proper bike: Find a used bike that you can easily afford to throw the money away on. Ride it and see if actually like riding regularly. If you..
I’M NOT EVEN TRYING
I’m not even trying to compete with you. I show up to see all the different ways you can destroy me. I show up to gaze at your vast arsenal. I show up to see what real talent looks like. I show up to know what’s possible. I show up… … just for the inspiration. 170.4
LOTOJA TRAINING RIDE #6 – EZPZ
It’s going to be hard today. We’ve hammered 5 out of the last 11 days. My legs are cooked, but we are getting very close to the big day and we can’t waste any time. It’s going to be so hard to… … ride very easy. Matt and Ty will there, Cat 1 MTB racers...
IT’S NOT A TRAINING CAMP
Paul and I think it would be fun for our snowbound friends to fly south for the winter and join the locals for some epic rides in SoCal. Think of it as a chance to start the year off different. We’ll all learn a bunch of new stuff about bikes and going faster… I mean,..
HOW TO GROW CYCLING
It’s starts with a friendly “hi, my name is Todd.” Within a few miles you’ll know if you like to do the same kind of rides and if you do… then, “hey, we are all riding the Market Ride on Thursday. Join us.” We’re humans. We like to do stuff with like-minded people. There’s nothing..
MTB WDNSDY
I once hired Gibby Hatton to coach me. Google him… there’s 55,000 references to America’s greatest track racer. I wasn’t going to race track, I wasn’t even racing road at the time, I was prepping for Leadville and wanted to see what I could learn from a new perspective. He had me come over, get..
OUTLANDA-ISH
Oh Mikel!… really? Granted, the editors at VeloNews might be making you look bad to back up their sensational headline. So, I read on… “When you start to think about where you could have taken back a second … ufff, que rabia!” Dude, you sound like every whiner I’ve ever heard. I woulda one, but…..
IT’S JUST A SOCIAL RIDE
It’s just a social ride, nothing to worry about. The guys and gals getting together, to do an easy, little spin. … right before they rip your legs off, marinate them, and throw them on the grill. If your “pals” ever describe a ride as just a social ride, and your spider-sense is screaming DON’T..
