also here is a pic from the RR at the air force acadamy in CO. springs an extremely beautifull place. just unreal. the course was unreal as well. lots of wind and 1 killer climb. that we did each lap. the course was the 1987 worlds course. they did 10 laps. the mere 5 we did provided plenty of carneage. race report on that as well

First Impressions

Today was supposed to be the Boulder Roubaix. a killer course with 80% dirt roads, wind and the competition of... well, Boulder. it was longer. finally. 70+ miles. so when the weather turned south and I was bummed. then the race got postponed to nest weekend. I thought "good I can just train this weekend and do a double race weekend next week." but the weather is still bad and getting worse. upon awaking to freezing sleet, some snow temps in the 20's I was a bit disappointed. And when the little guy (our cat) started rubbing his eye and not opening it the day wore on. A trip to the vet, a trip to pick up a car left at work Friday, and now it was after 1pm. so I did what I do when the motivation needs some help. I ate 2 doughnuts drank a few extra cups of coffee and went for it. the cross bike saved the day again. Marshal Mesa, some tempo and a few trips up a short local climb and I was starting to feel it. back home I got out the trainer to finish myself off. this pic is me geting ready to crank out some tempo after the 3 hour mark.

so the day turned out ok. yeah I would rather have it 60+ degrees and have ridden 5 hours up in the mountains but still a solid day and fun, yeah it was. and the cat is fine. So I guess a first impression is... a first impession. They happen for a reason but it doesn't mean we have to let it get to us or accept it.

lots of racing next weekend! stay posted!!

Raceing time

I want to say a big congratulations to all of my clients who raced this weekend, and there were a few. One man surprised himself doing much better than he thought he was going to do. Darcy McGuire and Stephanie Chase (teammates) finished 2nd and 5th respective at the Beat pot crit in Somerville MA.! Nice job ladies!!! And everyone meet there goals of not only surviving there fist race of the season but feeling good and being proactive instead of "pack fill"

Nice work everyone! I am very proud.

I had a race today as well. The Kloppenburg RR. named after the infamous climb in the Tour of Flanders. so right there you know things are gona be rough, add 15+ pro’s to the field 50% dirt roads and you got yourself 45 miles a pain. yeah only 45 miles! check out the race report!

The Wash

Today was the first REALL race in the Boulder area. Well… second but the first I did not attended no training nicey nice racing today. 500$ payout. pouring rain dirt roads the Belgians would have loved it! I however did not. Like my teammate and buddy says, “some times you feel like nut!, and some times you don’t”

Check out the race report!

not my new kit here obviously but its coming!
