Riding Dirty – A Long Road Ahead

in ,

In roughly a month I’ll be representing for Elbowz in something a bit different then the traditional road race, time trial or criterium. At the time of registration this adventure seemed like great fun but as the date nears my take on the situation is starting to differ, slightly. On June 2nd I’ll be racing […]

Tour of Hermann

in ,

by, Joseph Schmalz I decided to head down to Hermann, Missouri and do the Stone Hill Winery Tour of Hermann this past weekend. I would be racing as a “One Man Wolf Pack” since the rest of my teammates were doing the Matrix Challenge in Dallas or back home training, but I thought it would […]

Train hard, recover hard

in ,

By, Christian Helmig Everyone knows that you need to train hard in order to get better – what a lot of people still don’t understand is that recovery is just as important. Only during the recovery period can the body actually convert the work you have put in during training in to gains in fitness. […]

My last week.. not final week.

in ,

by: Mat Stephens Tuesday I went in to work for a bit, shook hands, kissed babies and was out of there. I made my way out to the local Tuesday Nighter and got there early to play Mechanic for the bike shop. I helped out the C & B racers, showed the A racers where […]

Euro Trip I

in ,

by: Christian Helmig Our trip to Cali was fun but colder and wetter than we would have liked – as a result a lot of us came home with a nice cold and in my case the 32 hours of travel didn’t help either. Right after the final stage of Redlands (well, after another great […]

When everything clicks….

in ,

by: Joseph Schmalz San Dimas Stage 2 road race is a perfect example of when all the pieces of the puzzle come together and the machine runs smoothly. On a day far from perfect all of us were sitting in the nice warm van looking out upon what was almost certainly going to be one […]

Up’s & Down’s

in ,

by: Heath Blackgrove Cycling’s a funny old sport, full of ups and downs, joy and disappointment. It can be a great example of you get out what you put in, but often it doesn’t just come down to form, as we all know a bit of luck, skill and cunning can go a long way. […]

lucky day 7.. well kinda.

in ,

So.. rough going over the past couple of days. Been in more pain than I could have ever imagined. Even the medicine doesn’t seem to take the edge off. Sleeping about 2 hr’s at a time.. but it’s not a good sleep. A very light sleep. When I do fall asleep, each and every time, […]

by: Sean “The Slasher” Sullivan Just finishing up my preparations for the Presbyterian Crit in Charlotte NC this weekend. Quick bit of motorpacing, a massage, and then washed and packed the Specialized. Travel day tomorrow, a quick spin Saturday morning and then the race that night. Just gotta trim the mullet and make sure my […]

day5.. taking it day by day.

in ,

My Kavachaf

in ,

By: Eric Marcotte One of my most cherished times is the early hours as the city is still sleeping. I saddle up and clip into the pedals of my bike and set out on the road. Tunes bumping, heart thumping, legs pumping, the air rushing in and out of my lungs. It is so exhilarating […]
