  That fancy new PT Disc wheel is still not on a bike…I tried yesterday but the rear triangle on the bike it was to go on doesn’t have disc mounts! Geez. It was a bummer at first…big ride day on the plan. What to do? Take the SS of course... Posted Apr 29 2008, 04:41 PM by 2 Epic Filed under: Training

• Performance Modeling

  Wouldn’t it be nice to know what sort of training you need to do and when in order to hit that elusive perfect form when and where you want to? I’ve been pursuing this magic bullet of knowledge for years. TSS was a huge step forward in quantifying... Posted Feb 07 2008, 09:13 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: Training, Single Speed

• 2 minutes

  I’ve raced here and there on my single speed but never trained specifically for SS racing. This year I am. Discovering what exactly training specifically for SSing involves is a fun learning curve. One thing I have been tracking recently is my 2... Posted Feb 06 2008, 12:50 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: Training, Lynda

• Camp Lynda done, over and out

  It sure was nice to have ~25 folks join us for a long weekend of training. We got to show off some of the lesser known great rides in the area along with some of the more popular ones. Today was the finale. The route had optional sections - one to Gooseberry... Posted Jan 16 2008, 08:11 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: 2 Epic, Training

• Recursive bootstrapping to form

  Extreme geek alert! More than I can recall there have been suggestions that I just toss the gears away once and forall. Finit. Single is simple. Liberating. But…it ain’t gonna happen. Here’s why. Like all of us spokeheads, I often learn... Posted Jan 15 2008, 10:56 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: Training, Single Speed

• Camp Lynda day 1 in the books

  A great group of riders showed for the first annual Camp Lynda.  Great conditions, sunny skies, good times were on the menu.  Not everyone rode the exact same route, but my stats were 56 miles6319′ vert4:52 ride time338 TSS (yikes!) You’ve... Posted Jan 12 2008, 10:57 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: 2 Epic, Training

• SS adaptations in QA

  A few weeks back I posted a this QA scatter plot.  I’d been riding the SS about 2-3 weeks at this point. Here’s the latest.  Both rides were on the 2:1.  The “Blakes” data is from a ~ 2500′ climb with sustained... Posted Dec 30 2007, 11:10 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: Training, Single Speed

• Path to enlightenment: manic or nibbling away?

  Ah, holiday time.  I always get a bit retrospective this time of year… Using all sorts of resources I’ve been trying to piece together that optimal picture of the perfect training and racing year.  No matter how many studies, theories...

• SS analysis: strength or power?

  Pure single speeders are a passionate bunch. After doing a bit of lurking on the mtbr SS forum and observing the SS related comments here it’s obvious the top reasons SSers do what they do come from the heart. As it should be. Perhaps I will find... Posted Nov 30 2007, 11:31 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: Training, Single Speed
