The Demo Days of Summer will soon be here…

It’s confirmed – May 17th at North Park! This will be our 3rd year at one of my favorite county parks and is the perfect place to test goodies from Trek and Gary Fisher. My awesome WSD girl Chris Garrison will also be on site with her trailer! More info coming in the following weeks. [...]

Bontrager: your favorite wheels can now be your favorite shoes (or jersey, gloves, shorts…)

If you’re looking for new cycling shoes this season, give the Bontrager shoes a closer look. We just received the new ‘09 RXL mountain shoe and it’s really sharp! Made with a full carbon out-sole, molded EVA top strap to keep your foot snug but numb free, a stiff and secure molded heel cup, these [...]

36 Floors = 764 Steps, 12 climbs = 1 verticle mile

Ok, so I have not accomplished this “verticle mile”, but its totally on my to do list now.  After my first experience of the cathedral stairs just a few weeks ago I have since become somewhat addicted to this maddening task.  Last week I did 10 climbs in 2 hours.  Last night I did another [...]

Training? Too much? Too little? I dunno.

Attempting to figure out where that line is frustrates me.  I will go from a continuous feeling that I am behind on my training expectations and then hit an exhaustion wall and want to take the next three days off.   This ping pong decision making tends to go on pretty consistently in my gray matter. 

I [...]

Blood, Sweat, and the Warehouse Sale – this Sunday!

 
*WHEW*! This week we’ve been extremely busy at the Robinson store getting ready for Sunday’s sale. Having been in the bike shop industry for a number of years, there’s really only a select number of things that really gets me excited – ‘09 fox remote lockouts, the new Top Fuel SSL, women’s Shimano easy-bake oven [...]

Need a little motivation!?

I think no matter how much anyone may love winter we all hit that point where we crave the warmer months and itch for it to be over.  Both mentally and physically for me, since I tend to boil myself in hot showers and dry my skin out every season.  (brilliant).  I do very much love [...]

The Cathedral of BLURGing!

 If you are from or familiar with Pittsburgh you are probably familiar with the University of Pittsburgh and the Cathedral of… ok, its “LEARNING” to be accurate, but if you decided to climb the stairs multiple times for a workout you’d be dropping a few BLURGs too.  If you have time definitely check out the link above [...]

Shuffle & Share

I jammed out to my mp3 player for about 3 hours Saturday during a long road ride.  Not much to report.  It was fun.  It was tough.  I nearly bonked.  Took two wrong turns and road further away from home when I craved to be done.  I havent felt that in a really long time.  Road [...]
