Annual Crash Post
When I was a young man, my mottos were "drive fast, take chances" and "live fast, die young" and "NO FUTURE." Those of you who know me well can attest that I am understating how recklessly I lived the early part of my life. I have been thinking a lot about crashing recently. Maybe it is my recent 39th birthday that has me feeling my mortality.In my mind, 2011 has become the year of the crash

Race Review: Battenkill 2011 Cat 3 Pink
This is not a race report. This is a review and an assessment of my experiences at the 2011 Tour of the Battenkill. Before I proceed, I want you to think. Think about what you expect to read here. Got a picture? Considering the flame wars that have erupted on this blog in the past and my public disapproval of race organizer, Dieter Drake’s lack of tact and public relation skills I’m sure
"Race" Report: Marathon Route Foolishness 2011
I am the dude in the white.We rode f’n hard. 26.2 miles in under 51 minutes.

If you didn’t like to ride hard, you’d be reading another blog. While training hard takes discipline, most of us relish a hard ride. We live for it. We are more than willing to suffer on the bike, even indoors and in darkened basements. If we didn
