Feels Like Spring
Sorry about the blast, just catching up with a few posts from over the weekend. Today was gorgeous - the thermometer read 48 degrees in the car on the way home, and didn’t drop much before I got started. The roads are nice and clean now, so I took a nice easy ride up and down the [...]
Week 2
Today was a nice little ride on a COLD start to the week – 26 degress with a 15mph wind out of the west (crosswind for my route today). The mountain bike needs a good cleaning, and the roads are relatively clean, so I took the cross bike. This was pretty static zone 3-4, with [...]
Week End Totals and Core

There’s not a lot of reading out there on periodization specifically for cyclocross, [...]

Back on the Cross Bike
I’m probably not going to get out for a ride tomorrow since it’s my long day at work, so I squeezed in a bit of a ride before it got too dark. Temps got up to about 40 today, so just about all of the snow and slush left in the roads after this weekend [...]
Snow Biking Two Days in a Row
We’ve been watching the forecast for the last few days, and looking forward to the mid-30′s they had been promising so we could get out and go for a hike or something together. Well, it never got warmer than about 28, so I ventured out on my own. What I missed in the forecast was [...]
How Do You Keep All of Your Cycling Stuff Organized?
I’m not sure what I’d do without Ziploc to organize all of my stuff and keep everything dry…how do you keep all of your cycling clothes, etc. from becoming a giant heap? Subscribe to the comments on this post
