Long week…
It’s been a pretty busy, crazy, hectic week but I’ll try to bring it up to speed. Last I left off I had just picked up my new Ritte Bosberg frame, and started putting some parts on it: I took the day off on Wednesday with two objectives: fix my car and get my Ritte [...]

This makes up for Sat…
My new @ritteracing Bosberg frame finally came in: I’m hoping to have it built up by the weekend. Highly unlikely that I’ll use it to race Pburg or Basking Ridge, but I would still like to have it built up by the weekend. I’m *not* looking forward to cutting the seatmast; that makes me nervous.

The Day That Never Should Have Been
It was the day that never should have been. On paper it sounded like a great day: the full squad was heading up to Bighamton for the Thater Memorial Crit. Ryan asked me if I could drive, since he always does, and I said that’s only fair. I borrowed a third tray from the Stone [...]

The Old Guard
Big night at worlds yesterday – big group, the weather finally cleared up, and one Graeme Miller was in attendance. He was dressed in a kit nobody recognized, still looking fit. Not many people realized who he was, a little inconspicuous to most. But I knew who he was, and knew it was going to [...]

Track Jackets
Well folks it’s hard to deny that fall is right around the corner; next weekend is Labor Day and there’s already a chill in the air in the mornings. What better way to transition into what is becoming my favorite season than with a sweet new eightplustwo.com track jacket? That’s right; I will be doing [...]

15 Questions with Erik Mitchell…
Posted on 04 June 2010
Well folks, as promised I got to sit down (virtually) and chat (via email) with Erik Mitchell after the great PA BAR Hair-Off of ‘10. We talk bikes, hair, zombies, and more. Big thanks to Erik for being a good sport and taking time to do the interview. Enjoy. 1) Let’s start with the cliché/obligatory [...] Continue Reading

There can be only one…
Posted on 19 May 2010
It’s no secret that the PA BAR is not without problems this year; there’s been growing complaints about races, promoters, and the state of affairs in general. A lot of grief stems from the likes of out-for-profit promotes like Butterworth, who many feel have single-handedly torn down the local racing scene with his cookie cutter [...] Continue Reading

Have Edge, will travel…
Posted on 20 April 2010
Once again, my Edge 500 proved its worth last night. I was in a situation where I needed to ride to my in-laws to meet my wife. We were having dinner; but more importantly she was borrowing her mom’s car as hers was getting dropped off at the shop last night, so it made sense [...] Continue Reading

Fun with the Edge 500 – testing out the course feature…
Posted on 14 April 2010
I finally tried out the “courses” feature of my new Edge 500 last night. Tired of doing the same few routes (or some variation of them) and looking for a new adventure, I searched the Garmin Connect website for a Crystal Cave course. I know that a popular route especially from the velo, and I [...] Continue Reading

Any and every product I have ever used from them I have purchased and any praise I give MA is based on the merits of their products, not free products being thrown my way. I’ve received several questions yesterday regarding [...] Continue Reading

Testing @ Elliston Coaching…
Posted on 13 October 2009
I went over to Bill’s tonight to do my first FTP test on his new CompuTrainer set-up. I’ve done enough of them to know what to expect – a gradual build-up to full out suffering and misery, all concluding within 17 minutes. (note: the last 5 minutes get exponentially harder and more miserable quickly) The [...] Continue Reading
