I wouldn't say I am killin' it, by any means, but in my first race this year I 78/96 and last week I got 25/76. Steadily moving up. How are your seasons going?

On the flats and descents, I'm okay, but I'm getting dropped like stone on the climbs in races. Current workouts are 1 day 3min VO2max intervals 1:1 rest, 1 day overunder 2x10-15 intervals, 1 day longer, easy ride and 1 day race. So should I just drop the over under stuff and substitute...

Sorry, not to be a bummer, but reality check time. The season is getting close to the end for most of us. Besides withdrawals, depression, anxiety...what are your plans for the off season? Me: Reintroduce myself to the wife and dog. Get some work done around the house. Spin classes. ...

does the phelps school race in malvern look to be low key and not well-attended? i see there is a big race not TOO far away in taneytown md on the same weekend if i'm not mistaken. depending on how i feel after phelps, thinking of the marysville race outside of harrisburg. any other smaller...

Now that I'm building up a ride, I'm itching to race it. I need something relatively close to washington DC; anyone know any sites? How do you know these things?

I wish I could have made it out there, but had to work all night and I was in no shape to race. The conditions looked downright epic, and that wasn't the easiest venue from what I remember of last week's race and how they laid out the course for yesterday. How was that Death Spiral or whatever...

How do you break yourself of primal/reflex kind of reactions? Specifically, I'm going into a turn fast, I brake hard at the last minute, but something in my brain tells me I still need to be slower and I can't get myself to let go of the brake. Intellectually, I know this is practically the...

#4 Charlotte, Veterans Park. Warm and sunny. Low humidity. Start is a nice holeshot sprint into a steep short hill. You know happens there. First half of course has 2 sand pits back-to-back, a set of double barriers, a run-up (or ride up if you can ride two steps - most ran), and hill that sucks...

i hear there is a detour due to construction, but if you are registered, you probably got that email alert. who's registered or planning to race (or attend)? after a final check/tune-up this morning, i might head to the Fair Hill (MD/DE) race today and watch the elites.

Or lack thereof. Cross race #2 today. Lap 1 went ok, 2 and 3 I exploded, 4 I started to feel my legs coming back a little bit, but not enough juice to really make something happen. I don't know where I finished today, but definitely in the back. I'm racing cat 4, 32 years old, and my avg...

So i raced in the clydes division the other week and i had a decent race. I thought i came in 5th place and i had to work after so i talked for like 5-10min after the race and then started my drive home..well, today in the mail i get a letter with a 20 dollar gift certificate and 5 dollars cash and...

There will be a cross race on Saturday and Sunday November 7/8th in Blacksburg Virginia. Reg here: http://www.pre-reg.com/Users/RacerMain.aspx?Type=1&EventID=352. This is a mix of collegiate and USAC racing. For those of you who did it last year you will remember how great the course was and you...

Enough mud for you? I'm pretty sure I could have done just as well carrying the bike for the entire race. Hugely fun. I am so weak.
