It’s been a while since I won last. But the day finally came once again, and when I (sort of but not really) least expected it. Because when I would least expect it would be on a day where I didn’t even have a bike race. If I won then it would definitely be [...]

Important scientific question
If a pig carbo loaded right before it was slaughtered, would the meat be extra sweet from all the glycogen? I would bet so. And I want to taste that ham if it’s true. That would be some good eatin there I tell you what. I actually have one more question too. If I drank [...]

Third one down. Elkhorn.
I attacked right as the neutral role out ended, just to see if the field really felt like racing. It was my one hope of winning this weekend, a solo break away let go by a complacent peleton. They weren’t complacent though, and I was caught quickly. I attacked again a little [...]

Mt. Hood–last two stages
This is going to be a quickie.
Saturday’s road race was a killer. 92 miles and 10,500 ft of climbing. We started at the parking lot of Mt. Hood Meadows ski resort, and finished there a little over four hours later.
The descent was sketchy, mainly because my bike kept getting speed wobbles. The front wheel kept [...]

Mt. Hood update
I haven’t quite done as well as planned so far. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that I’ve been sucking very much so. On a scale of 1 to suck, I suck. But not to get anyone in an upset mood after reading this post, I want to also let you know [...]
