Rather than pretending that I know how things work, I’ve decided to spend this cyclocross season writing about shit I don’t understand. Things like math. Or road racing tactics. Or satisfying women sexually. So let’s just add embrocation to that list. As far as I can tell ...
If you were not able to make the educational seminars offered by USA Cycling at 'cross nationals, the slides are available.
We made it down to San Pancho from San Carlos with out any problems, just under 13 hours. When you're traveling on the highways down here you see some pretty creative people. It's amazing how much crap you can stack on and tie up to your vehicle. Like ...

The door that opens up to cyclocross season has been swung wide again. I find myself just now biting into the thick of it. As I nibbled around the edge looking for a softer way to the center I left this blog untouched. But now that’s over. I always ...
Good to see everyone in Vegas. Between teaching classes on Wednesday and Parents Open House on Thursday night, I got in 14 hours in Strip City. Bike show, meetings, the race. Offering a hand to old friend Stu Thorne, quite by coincidence, I ended up fingering Jaime Driscoll’s spare ...
