Today is the anniversary of me figuring why I indeed love cycling so much. And it has nothing to do with racing. Though, talk to me on race day and I may say otherwise. No, I discovered I love cycling because a year ago today I crushed my face on a mountain. And while I wanted so desperately...

Sorry all that I have been slacking at blogging, but here it is… Chico: What a beautiful venue. Neil’s mom Loree was kind enough to put us up in Redding and we had a great weekend. The big learning experience: Californians are FAST in April. It was great to get out and ride some...

So a big shout out to Patrick Means and Corvallis Cyclery for getting me race ready for the upcoming Chico stage race. How do I repay them? By trying to beat on everyone at Thursday night world championships of course! A little background for the two of my fans (thanks Kris and mom!)....

It is Friday morning I am packing up for my first test of preparation in the march towards Tour of America’s Dairyland. This weekend is the Chico Stage Race in sunny northern California. My personal goal is the last stage on Sunday, the crit. I am excited for the opportunity to work with...

Just a short blog today. I wanted to give a shout out to some team sponsors. This season has gone along better than I would have expected. We took two wins in our first day of racing. We have been successful in a number of the time trials, and hold good standings in the OBRA TT cup. I have...

Another day, another blog. I remember when I used to make these funny and entertaining. Now, I look at them and I wonder if I can really inspire anybody to read them. And I just going through a dark phase, kind a like an emo kid that wants to cut himself? Am I clinically depressed? Or am I...

We train for many hours a week. Sometimes indoors, sweating on the rollers, or the trainer. Suffering endlessly. Or maybe we go outside during the crappy weather with rain pouring down, numb toes and fingers, or even in the dark where we risk our lives at the hands of motorists who are...

Patience is not something I’m good at. I don’t race with patients, I don’t go through life with patients. In fact, Patience is something that I strive to work toward every day. Technology picks up faster and faster and everything’s available instantaneously. When I was...

Yesterday was a long day. Logan and I headed south to Corvallis at 9 AM to have his bike nurtured back to health after years of neglect and abuse. We bugged Cole while he was working in his "office" and then ventured to Corvallis Cyclery to see Patrick Means. They set up Logan's...
