SuperDave, and The Rest of The Super Freaks
The way I figured out Super Dave was much more than a time trialing, curb jumping maniac was via this terrific podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cyclingtips-podcast/id1117221239?mt=2&i=375184358 I was super surprised at how articulate, thoughtful and impactful he is in the cycling industry. Shame on me, but that’s what happens when all we do is ride together and tear..
I Can See Clearly Now
Loading my crusty, old Oakleys into the RaceDay Bag for my commute home it occurred to me that I see better than ever. How’s that? If you ride enough you’ll “see it all”, you’ll develop a “spider-sense” and be able to predict the future. New guys get dropped more, crash more, flat more, break their gear..
Respect The Speed
Why ya gotta be a hater just because I’m going twice as fast as you and not breathing hard don’t mean ya need to be a turd about me squeezing by… …“Strava” under your breath… Hell boy, I been ripping this climb for 25 freakin’ years and I have a little tiny black book with..
1 Less Car
It started off as a simple prod by a fellow cyclist blogging about the virtues of his 10 mile commute by bicycle each day.. So I tried it. It’s not as easy as you’d think. It takes some planning: gear and logistics. A RaceDay bag will help keep you on track. Now I’m hooked. Working..
2016 unOFFICIAL TMWC
What does it mean to have a vision, a dream that only you can see? … and what are you going to do about it? We just put on an event with riders from as far away as Arizona, from Malibu to San Diego, and cities and towns in between… all connected by a concrete..
Who’s missing? (TMWC)
The unOFFICIAL TMWC happens once a year, in July. Tuesday morning, 6:30AM – quiet time in our little mecca. 7/19 is a Tour de France rest day, and we are all geeked up. It’s warm, but not hot. The faces are friendly, the introductions genuine. Interlopers, real pros or soon to be pros, will own..
High school friends, then and now
My high school friends, then (2009) and now. Such a happy day, during a very turbulent time of my life. What to do when life gravity is pulling you down? Get some earthly gravity to pump you up. My two sons, Trevor and Shane, and my other “high school” friends, Austin and Clutch, headed for our favorite..
Every rider tells a story don’t he?
South of town I see this guy heading towards me, he turns around so I wait. Do you know how to get to Oceanside? Yep, through the base. They wouldn’t let me through. Did you have ID? My racing license… Well, we need to get your real ID… you staying in a local hotel? Best..
54 and not much more #rookiemistakes
It was my birthday. I’d been training all year for the mountain bike season. And my plan was to kick @#$! But… I’d over trained, raced way too many days on the road. My diet was off enough to pack on 5 pounds. And my legs truly felt like crap… they bit back at me,..
Brussels, Paris… 10 years ago
I am not shocked by the Brussels bombings, and you shouldn’t be either. Right out of high school, a group of us traveled Europe by back pack and Eurail for the summer. Europe at that time was a wonderful playground of history and adventure for us. Travel was easy, language from my native “English” to..
A Toast To My Dad
As my dad celebrates his retirement at age 80, I would like to raise a toast to him for giving me the greatest advice for business and life I’ve ever received. Calling Dad for advice is kinda like sincere prayer… things are either really great, or really not great. This advice though is timeless so..
