So I wake up Sunday morning before my alarm clock even goes off to the heavy rain. I briefly think “I’m totally not racing today”, roll back over and zzzzz. Soon enough my alarm clock beeps and I decide to get up, check out the predicted weather and radar, and figure out what I’m doing. Radar looks [...]

Sure I roll out on a road bike and pavement on occasion. Its nice to switch it up from time to time, and it can definitely feel low maintenance compared to trail riding at times too. If your looking for something to do this Sunday the Mingo Creek Road Race Series has its first race of the 2009 [...]

The mountain climbed up to my right side and dropped down on my left. No cliffs or anything too crazy, but its good [...]

I always love finding new places to pedal, and when I have the excuse, I’m more than happy to travel with one of my bikes, even if it’s only an hour and half north of the good ol’ ‘Burgh. A good friend of the Trek stores suggested a tour of some roads in scenic north-western [...]

Its baaaaack! Do you agree with it!? Seems there is a ton of controversy with this event and I can understand why. Is it not completely maddening to try and change your schedule so suddenly like that!? Goodness, gracious! It hurts me.

As the BELLAs arrived on Saturday morning we quickly noticed we brought some of the trails with us. heehee (so easily amused)!
