I love my Siren SS. The bike feels as good and natural as anything I’ve ever ridden. Bike and rider blur on this steed. Yet, racing it in a geared class is a losing proposition. If there’s one thing I learned racing TransRockies on a SS, it’s that going with one gear is a major disadvantage...

Lots of riding was done the past 4 days just up the road from us. A 4 day stage race at BrianHead drew some fast riders. Maybe payouts really do attract riders? Top 3 of Elite Men’s and Elite Women’s Pro field will have equal pay: Elite Payout as follows: Elite Men’s Top 5 Payout: $2,500...

SS may be the primary chosen mode for ‘08, but don’t be confused kids. A puritan I am NOT. Gimme gadgets Cutting edge ideas The brightest lights More cutting edge ideas The latest round of debauchery brings me to some big green pride and joy It was a childhood fantasy (living in Michigan...

We did it. We finished Trans Rockies on single speeds. Wow that was hard! We even pulled off a second place on stage 4 and a third place in the GC at the end of the week. Now we are tired… More later.

Last week we went for a trip to the hills. Big surprise, eh? Yet another new mountain range. Flowers everywhere. The Crested Butte of Utah was our destination. Where is this anyway??? Nope, that’s not Mt. Crested Butte and no, this isn’t Scotland. From 11,450′ you can see the Sevier...

Brad and his cute wife Jane played host to Dave and I this weekend and spoiled us. Thanks guys. We are taking our...

It has been a recovery week this week. Most of my rides have looked like this and this Always looking for ways to speed recovery I have been wearing compression stockings. Fancy huh? Paula Radcliffe races in them and she is fast as fast can be. This could be the start of a whole new fashionista trend...

Keeping the balance after that last post for the ladies… Dave Zabriskie some years back wrote a timely article about taint maintainence. Timely cause I was riding big hours and the saddle was feeling not so hot at the time…his article set me straight on a few things. It appears it’s...

We stayed local and had a mellow weekend cause we are racing next weekend. Park City Perfect 10. Can anybody tell us what the course is like or even better send a GPS file? Pretty please. We’ll have no time for a pre-ride and want to know what gear to bring. Yesterday it was mountain gears 34×22...
