Revenge
What friends are forRobot: JR says let’s go back to Barnburner and get revenge. Todd: Barnburner was revenge. It was horrid. Awful. A dust bowl. JR: I will return to the dust bowl to avenge my finish. Travis: The RV is ready, and Todd is riding with us this time. Robot: It might just be..
TMWC Shout Out
As we prepare for the final TMWC of 2012, I wanted to give a shout out to the pioneers. About 10 years ago I moved out to Coto and told my friends Peter Vidmar and Don Miller, who had moved out there earlier, we should try and get a quality ride going… like we used..
Tribes Are All Powerful
Example: Team Un-named just cut a deal to buy directly from Builder-X. Tribes have the power, more than ever. If you’re not building one, you’re part of one. Failing to connect with the tribes is becoming more and more costly. Winners: Team members get smoking deal. Builder-X gets high margin sale. Losers: anybody not building..
Death by Digital
We’re so hip, spending most of our wake time in front of a small glass window peering into the moving I/O’s of our counterparts and customers. Death by digital creeps through our consciousness, slinking in the shadows, slowly stealing away our precious physical seconds. This is hardly living epic. Never dangerous. Rarely rewarding. What heart..
Nice Attitude
So much of smooth, effortless cycling is about you. Your attitude determines everything. It’s about your approach, your confidence, your ability to take a “love tap” from the rider next to you for what it is vs what it might be.

Let’s Get Lucky
How is it that new guy gets a zillion flats while the group waits/helps to fix/or just rides on? It’s called Luck. How is it that new guy manages to consistently find himself at the worst possible place at the worst possible time in every race or group ride and whabam! broken this and torn..
Are you insane?
Boys, are you insane*… really, are you content having Ford drill you into submission each week? I’m not happy with that… so here’s what I’m doing: I’ve hired Joe Friel (author of the Cyclist’s Training Bible and TrainingPeaks.com) to come and speak to us. And you my friends, committed studs that rip each other’s legs..
Receiving My Dues
The funny thing about paying my dues with my time and talents in anything is that I always seem to receive much more than I ever paid. There are plenty of clubs and subscriptions I’ve paid into over time. I keep paying if the return is equal or great to the value paid. But that..
If We Don’t Change
Chinese Proverb – If we don’t change our direction, we’re likely to end up where we are headed.
Absurd Standard of Readiness
Before 16 year old Jay can attempt surfing a true killer, Mavericks, he must pass his mentor’s tests. In Chasing Mavericks, the indie surf movie now playing, we are escorted into the world of surfing truly killer waves. The old wizard gives the boy two simple, measurable, and absurd standards of readiness: – Hold his..
Why Black?
When everybody is doing the Black Friday promo, why aren’t we doing Gobble Wednesday? … some folks just want to gobble up a great deal and could be sporting sweet new gear on the Thursday Turkey ride.
