I'm on cyclingnews.com

So there I was, reading the cyclingnews.com report on the NC Grand Prix CX weekend and checking out the photos. Wait... what's that? Could it be? El Gato.. the Leprechaun.. chasing up the climb?! Why yes. It is. Little ol' me on cyclingnews.com. Thanks, Sean Letterman for taking and submitting the photo. See the pic here.

Cyclocross 2006 mid season report

Sigh. Transitions and barriers, the heart of cyclocross, describes my season thus far. It has been a tough season for me, but I am continuing to keep pedaling. I discovered that I started the season with a drop in fitness from summer training as well as a lack of sufficient grass riding practice prior to the season's start. Throw those two factors in the mix with upgrading to intermediate catagory (CX 3 / B's) and the result is mid to back 1/3 pack positioning. Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining, just discouraged after last year's success-filled introduction to cyclocross. Still, dedication and persitance has been seeing me through the season thus far. All things considered, I have had fairly decent placings while having a good time riding cyclocross.

'Retro Ted' finds a Bike he likes

'Retro Ted' finally gives his aproval to a bicycle. This vintage Ross with thumbies, cam brakes, and all things ala original ATB style recently came to the shop for a new tyre and tube. I think it made Ted's day.

Previous Lives

Ever wonder what people have done previous to you knowing them now? Yeah, that's me behind the vehicle mounted automatic 40mm grenade launcher (MK-19).


That's also me. This time more hidden and serving as the RTO at an LZ in the LTA.

Train like you Fight & Fight to Win!

I have this phrase impregnated into my thoughts courtesy of a previous job, "If it ain't raining, it ain't training." Well, it started raining two laps into my cyclocross practice last night.. hence, true training, 50 minutes worth. Now if it would only rain during a cyclocross race to demoralize all those who don't train like they fight. There has been plenty of mud, though, this year.
