Solvang is a great venue for a time trial, and driving through the central coast’s wine country from San Luis Obispo was a very special treat. The hills, which are typically brown most of the year, were a splendid shade of green that only the winter rains can bring. And to think of how fleeting that is, [...]
Do ever feel like motorists don’t see you, don’t care, or are possibly gunning for you? Do you ever see cyclists casually chatting away on a narrow road, while riding two abreast, like they are the only people on the road? I ride a bike, and I drive a car, and both scenarios annoy me.
Dave Zebriski is a world-class [...]
I’m still recovering. But what a beautiful day. I know pain is temporary, it’s just taking a little longer to go away this time.
The only negative aspect of packing for Yosemite Valley in February that I can think of is… not packing any riding jerseys, shorts, helmet. Well, I’m sure you get the point. I’m not taking my bike. I expect to be having plenty to do while we’re there, so I won’t really miss it. Three days of [...]
What a beautiful day for track racing, you couldn’t have ask for better. The Mark Wineman Fan Club was out in force today at the San Diego Velodrome in Balboa Park (http://www.sdvelodrome.com/velodrome.htm). There seemed to be a good turn out for what was the second to last remaining race of the Winter Racing events. The last of [...]
Since my family and I are going to be in SLO on Thursday for Stage 4 of the 2008 Amgen Tour of CA, it only makes sense to stop in Solvang on Friday for the Individaul Time Trial.
My right calf no likey the hill repeats today. The third one was the charm.
Feb. 18th, my wife and I are taking the girls to Yosemite Valley for 3 days of fun in the snow. We booked a cabin in a small town about 60 minutes west of the Valley. Hopefully, the roads are clear and getting back and forth won’t be an issue. I plan on taking chains [...]
I went for a lunch run yesterday and manage to do some hill repeats. Just down the road from my office, there is an area of open space with a nice 3.0 mile loop trail, a nice dirt trail that meanders along some ridgelines, and through a canyon not visible from the road. Toward the end of the [...]
It worked! It’s 54°F, wind 10-15 mph with plenty of sunshine. Perfect cycling weather. Well, with a little imagination and a computer it could be. I set my trainer in front of my computer and plugged in the 2007 Tour of CA (thanks Arlyn). The next best thing to being there, right? Okay, it’s not. [...]
