I made the jump into trying what track racing is all about, and I’ve got to say it’s a lot more fun than you’d think it would be (riding in circles? come on!)
The MVA offers beginning classes for all levels of rider and fitness (this was my first time on the track and on […]

It was pretty cool this morning.
I got my first flat of the year on the way in this morning. As I was changing it, about six cyclists rode by. All but one gave a quick “You got everything?” as they rode by. I’m usually on the other side of […]

For me, making the transition from the Kona Jake back to the Bianchi Giro is always a problem. It’s a lot like going from driving the Jeep to driving the Honda. I always feel like I’m in a little speedy fiat or something when I jump back on the Giro. With […]

It’s been awhile.
Let’s see. I did the Chilly Hilly last weekend (registered, but rode in the .83 ride). It’s the first time I’ve done the CH non-stop. Did it in 2:15.
I did two back-to-back indoor time trials last night which actually went better than I thought they would. The first […]

This one wasn’t as good, for whatever reason. I think I’m going to sign up for the next one to get some additional practice.

I’d like to annonce another side project called bikeseattle.org.
The motivation was taken from reading bikeportland.org over the past few months. I kept thinking, someone should really do a bikeseattle site.
Well, I’m going to take a stab at it.

I thought this was sort of cool

A common observation by bicycling environmentalists is that large cycling races produce tremendous quantities of greenhouse gases.
The Tour of California, for example, will generate an estimated 518 tons of carbon dioxide from support vehicles, media vans, and cars and trucks driven by spectators and fans.
To offset this, […]

CycleU has something called an indoor Time Trial. Basically they have seven computrainers setup and networked together so you all race against each other.
Projected onto a big screen is the course, including an elevation profile. Below that is a little bar section that shows your relative progress in regards to everyone else. […]

Alright.
So I was riding home this evening, around 5 so it was still light out.
There’s this part on the Burke where it splits up into two skinnier one-way paths that are about 3-4 feet wide. In the middle is a little grassy/muddy trough that is about 2 feet wide or so depending on where […]
