2009 Ride #18

View Larger Map

Started to head up to the Zoo, but ran into a couple teammates from Cutthroat Racing. Turned around and rode with them down through Holladay, up past the Old Mill to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Dan & Mike headed up the canyon, and I turned left and headed along [...]

Choosing a cycling team

I don’t think I’m going to re-up with my current club/team for 2009.

The biggest reason is because I’m broke … I still haven’t worn the clothing I got for 2008; and what’s the point of spending that kind dough on clothes that likely aren’t going to get worn.

Another reason is because the [...]

So instead, tried to take it fairly easy on Wasatch from Hogle Zoo all the way down to 7200 South, before dropping [...]

Turning Beer into Hydration

Beer after sport ‘is good for the body’ – Telegraph

A beer after playing a game of football, a long run, or a strenuous round of golf can be good for the body, scientists say.

In a rare piece of good news for those who like a pint, Spanish researchers say beer can help [...]

Phew … another ‘cross race avoided!

Unfortunately, people are starting to call me on it … even Dr. Cross told me to “Harden the Fuck Up” on Thursday.

I really am going to have to suck it up and suit up next weekend; at the VERY least on Sunday at Wheeler Farm, but I might be shamed into racing on [...]

Started off cold …

… and dark, with no power and no heat this morning at 5:00 when I got up to get ready for today’s Utah Cyclocross race at Fort Buenaventura, in Ogden.

But it turned into an absolutely beautiful day … wish I felt better, since I would have loved to have gotten in more than [...]
