april selection

May 1st, 2013 · 2 Comments · selection

It’s been a pretty unbelievable month. Other than the fact that I’ll be swaggering for the rest of the year [at least!], here are a few favorites from April… – This month’s contribution from Josh: BarBumps. Prepare for LOLZ. [via Bike Rumor] – Past loves: Bernie being predictably charming, while playing the Air Attack bongos. [...]

TJROW ver. 3.0

April 25th, 2013 · 2 Comments · pro, road rides

I am bookending the week with another favorite pro cyclist. Tim Johnson and crew left Boston yesterday on the first leg of their 525 mile trip to Washington, D.C. to raise money and awareness for peopleforbikes.org. It’s a great cause, and if you live along the route, you are obligated to go heckle Chan. There [...]

a final flashback

March 14th, 2013 · 1 Comment · pro, races

My friends are doing my blogging for me this week, it seems. The season 3 finale of Behind the Barriers is up and I even got a drunken cameo [Thanks, Sam!]. Go watch for a last good dose of CX and cowbells until the fall! UPDATE: And that’s why these guys are awesome.

blogs, bikes, and red bulls with TJ and alex

February 21st, 2013 · 2 Comments · pro, tokyo

Bloggers are generally really weird. It takes one to know one, so trust me on this. The degree of weird varies, but anyone who chooses to spend their free time talking into an anonymous public space is either desperately lonely, has stunted social skills, or is too prideful to let go of the reality that [...]

cyclocross tokyo 2013: a really late race report

February 17th, 2013 · 3 Comments · cyclocross, pro, races, tokyo

Since meeting Chandler and Tim at Cyclocross Tokyo last year, I’ve taken the liberty to clog their inboxes with rants about ‘cross, Tokyo, and bikes, and stalked both of their racing seasons. I sent a lot of emails with exclamation marks. I met up with them at the Gran Prix of Gloucester. They kept telling [...]

review: skratch labs exercise hydration mix

January 14th, 2013 · No Comments · food, reviews

I’ve thinking, despite all the snow we got yesterday, about this past summer, when I cycled through sticky heat with bottles filled with slightly diluted Aquarius. I used the sports drink in powder form so I could water it down, but for a good three months, attempts at hydration usually resulted in uncomfortable, sugary yet [...]

so pro

December 19th, 2012 · 2 Comments · pro

These sort of made my week: Cyclocross, Gangnam style… …And, the Lotto-Belisol pro team training camp, as presented by Adam Hansen via Twitter, and compiled by The Inner Ring… [Thanks, Josh!]

das pro und the rookie

November 14th, 2012 · 1 Comment · cyclocross, reviews

Since I’ve started cycling, I’ve often wished for a cultured, sophisticated friend of the European variety. I imagine this well-connected friend, preferably reasonably attractive and trilingual, would never lack in single, male friends with chiseled features and lithe bicycles. This friend would somehow always have access to villas and chateaus, dispersed across the European Continent, [...]

czeching it out

October 29th, 2012 · 2 Comments · races

Last week was a dry and fast one in Tabor, then a wet, sloppy one in Plzen last night. I’m not talking about my recent escapades with European men, but the Cyclocross World Cup series. My second and third pro cyclocross races watched through grainy live feeds [and most likely the first of many with [...]
