Emma’s cycling development is coming along. Her cadence averages 140 rpm with her 60mm cranks and she has been rocking the single speed from day 1. We’ve been working on drafting lately. She loves the new found speed. Lots of whoops and yeehaws. She learned to do the Hula Hoop too. Core strength and flexibility […]

No Nitrous for me this weekend :-(
I’m tired. Really! How did that happen? Winning Rim Ride, following it up the next day with a White Rim lap, then Big Friggin’ Loop all single speed maybe? I slowed down a little the next week and had to pedal gears down to the casino in Mesquite and back. Then last weekend I absolutely finished myself […]
Overnight in the flowers
More fun on bikes this weekend in the million acres of the Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument. This time we drove the 30 miles south from St George to the border of the park and started riding from there. We also took overnight gear. This was my first bike-packing adventure. I’m not sure how much […]
D2D 12 hour Solo
Big kudos: To Dawn til Dusk 12 hour race in Gallup for adding a female solo single speed category. While I will be sad not to race directly with the guys on my SS this coming weekend I am excited to support this new category. Old Pueblo is one of the few races I can […]
Spring

Kids n’ bikes
Emma is thinking about sports modeling She came out the house ready to ride wearing swim goggles. It was a really funny moment. She is all about function. Said they were to protect her eyes. I talked her into the pink shades. We rode about 4 miles. I think it is time to upgrade her […]
My Vision Quest
I’d set my bike up to race this one. From all the locals I’d heard it was a challenging and fun event. It was challenging and ironically it was the Vision Quest part that was the challenge not the racing part. A vision quest is a rite of passage, similar to an initiation, in some […]
President’s Weekend racing recap
It was exciting checking in on the live timing at Old Pueblo this year. With 5 athletes and multiple friends circling the course I spent far more time than I probably should have at the computer. Luckily my 2 handsome dinner guests on Saturday evening were just as eager as I was to get lap splits […]
