Tales from the Peloton!: January 2010

http://talesfromthepeloton.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

None are worthy enough to guest-blog on Tales From The Peloton. But TFTP might have done a little guest-blogging over on Texas Cycling. Links to this post. Cycling in Townsend and The Smoky Mountains. A recent winter trip to Tennessee found me in Townsend with a bike and spare time on my hands. Here's a list of my ride reports:. Rides 1 and 2 - Cades Cove. Ride 3 - Foothills Parkway and Tail of the Dragon. Ride 4 - Wears Valley to Pigeon Forge. I found the Tail of the Dragon. Links to this post. It was n...

Tales from the Peloton!: May 2009

http://talesfromthepeloton.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

One of our Tales From The Peloton correpsondents sat down with Jacob yesterday to discuss one of the more interesting members of his cycling team. So what's the story behind the Texas Loggerhead? Well, a few years ago, in the wee hours of the morning, one of the treasurers at Texas Cycling was set to order some letterhead for the team. But in a coffee induced stupor, she accidentaly adopted a loggerhead turtle off the coast of Hawaii. We named him Yurtle.". Well, as always, it's been a pleasure.". Damian...

K to the J: Bike Stuffs

http://k-to-the-j.blogspot.com/2010/11/bike-stuffs.html

K to the J. That's What's Up, Yo. Tuesday, November 9, 2010. Yester-two days ago was the Cameron Park race. It happens to be one of my favorites and since I was feeling pretty good at the end of the collegiate season, I figured I would give it a go. I hadn't raced with the pros since, what, March? The scoring got messed up so I never got to see actual time gaps, which is a little disappointing - it would be nice to know if I really was that close to the leaders or not. May 29, 2013 at 4:16 PM. Congatulat...

Tales from the Peloton!: Eurotrash Weekend

http://talesfromthepeloton.blogspot.com/2010/04/eurotrash-weekend.html

I thought about quitting. But that would dishonor my mustache and cycling cap. Street Sprints later. I'll do them if they happen. Must honor the stache. Crit tomorrow. Same weather as today. I anticipate a lot of crashes. Thank you for reading the most boring race report this blog has ever bequeathed to the populace. I'm feeling generous, here's a photo of Vladimir Karpets:.

K to the J: UT Weekend 2011

http://k-to-the-j.blogspot.com/2011/02/ut-weekend-2011.html

K to the J. That's What's Up, Yo. Monday, February 28, 2011. My priorities after the race:. 1) Get some people to look over my bike and make sure nothing was broken (nothing was). 2)Take pictures of the blood and guts* (not too spectacular, but still.). 3)Get the medic to clean up said blood and guts. Sunday was crit time. I was a little worried about my hand, but I bothered the medic for something to use as padding in my glove, and she had some sticky rubber stuff that was absolutely perfect.

K to the J: March 2010

http://k-to-the-j.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

K to the J. That's What's Up, Yo. Friday, March 5, 2010. Following my Usual Habits. I have a test in 25 minutes, so I once again declare it blog time. Two all-nighters and two most-of-the-night-ers. The A M "road" race is this weekend. I kind of want to do it, but at the same time I've heard too many stories of people breaking carbon frames on the course (and I could really use the extra day in studio), so I'm skipping out on Saturday and just driving up for the crit on Sunday. Should be good.

K to the J: Stupid Weather

http://k-to-the-j.blogspot.com/2011/02/stupid-weather.html

K to the J. That's What's Up, Yo. Wednesday, February 9, 2011. I was half expecting the class to only be about half full today because the temperature dropped into the 20s again today (read: about 40 degrees colder than Texas has any business being) and there was "ice" last night. But no, the class is about as full as it normally is. I know I wouldn't be here except for the fact that I would have to actually study for tests if I did that. What day does [uninteresting club] meet? I do kinda wish I had a s...

K to the J: Dirty Du

http://k-to-the-j.blogspot.com/2011/02/dirty-du.html

K to the J. That's What's Up, Yo. Monday, February 7, 2011. Another psychology class, another blog post. I see this making me actually keep up with this thing this semester. The only question, then, is what to write about. I guess I could do a quick recap of the Dirty Du(athlon) from way back in November. My dad talked me into racing against him in it, and seeing it as a rematch for the triathlon we did over the summer. Did I ever write about that? I said "why not" and had my mom sign me up. My second ru...

K to the J: Bike Racing and Tacos

http://k-to-the-j.blogspot.com/2011/03/bike-racing-and-tacos.html

K to the J. That's What's Up, Yo. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Bike Racing and Tacos. Normally this post would be all about the A M race weekend that just happened, but nothing too exciting went down, so it will be about other things. Well okay, a little about the race first:. Saturday was the traditional Tunis Rubaix, only this time on a much tamed down course. I don't feel like finding pictures if the actual courses, so here are some Google Image representations:. We know about a third of the menu from othe...
