  • Kidz in Training

    Emmas cycling development is coming along. Her cadence averages 140 rpm with her 60mm cranks and she has been rocking the single speed from day 1. We’ve been working on drafting lately. She likes the new found speed. She learned to do the Hula Hoop...

  • No Nitrous for me this weekend :-(

    I’m tired. Really! How did that happen? Winning Rim Ride, following it up the next day with a White Rim lap, then Big Friggin’ Loop all single speed maybe? I slowed down a little the next week and had to pedal gears down to the casino in Mesquite...

  • Overnight in the flowers

    More fun on bikes this weekend in the million acres of the Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument. This time we drove the 30 miles south from St George to the border of the park and started riding from there. We also took overnight gear. This was my...
  • Spring

    It is warming up here. I switched the sprinklers on and the kinders dashed in for their swimsuits to run through them. It really isn’t that warm yet - they are fueled on something I am not… This perhaps… In an effort to get more veggies...

  • My Vision Quest

    I’d set my bike up to race this one. From all the locals I’d heard it was a challenging and fun event. It was challenging and ironically it was the Vision Quest part that was the challenge not the racing part. A vision quest is a rite of passage...
  • 2 min power

    2 min power is still heading in the right direction. 321w for me this week, which is another PR - nice… Next week is Vision Quest. 56.5 miles with 11.5k of elevation gain - wow. I’ve never ridden the course on my bike but there are some very...

  • President’s Weekend racing recap

    It was exciting checking in on the live timing at Old Pueblo this year. With 5 athletes and multiple friends circling the course I spent far more time than I probably should have at the computer. Luckily my 2 handsome dinner guests on Saturday evening...

  • Scouting

    Wesley got his uniform and went to his first scout den meeting tonight. You buy the blue shirt then have all these wee badges to sew on for pack number and area and what rank scout and what-not. I haven’t got the hang of it all yet. It took me ages...

  • Lowering my footprint

    Emma rode her bike to school today and I ran along beside her. Oh my, that was awesome.. School is 3/4 mile away and is just too much for a groggy 5 year old to walk in the morning. It was a piece of cake for her on a bike this morning. She was all [...
