Monster Pull: May 2012

http://monsterpull.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Kevin Kimmich's Cycling Tales. Wednesday, May 9, 2012. It's been really interesting living in Nashville among the party people, and I've been here for a year. I'm moving back to Chardon this weekend. When I moved down here, I was thinking of it as a permanent thing (see my previous post), but probably should have thought of it as temporary. Posted by Kevin Kimmich. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monster Pull: June 2010

http://monsterpull.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Kevin Kimmich's Cycling Tales. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. On a good note, the cast comes off in one week. Also, I've dropped about 8 pounds this month, which will hopefully do a little to offset my reduced training volume. On a dark note, I've followed through on my biodiesel research and have wandered off into viewing documentaries like Gasland. Well, I'm a hands-on type of person, so I'll see if I can get my hands on a biodiesel car sometime soon and see how well it works. Posted by Kevin Kimmich. Unfor...

Monster Pull: September 2010

http://monsterpull.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Kevin Kimmich's Cycling Tales. Thursday, September 23, 2010. Since the last time I rode the Leroy TT (two weeks ago), I've been trying to find a more aerodynamic position on my road bike that doesn't pinch my breathing, and that doesn't interfere with my pedaling mechanics. So my strategy for this final TT of the season was to get into that more aerodynamic position on downhills, but stay in my normal position the rest of the time. Start to Turn: 5:29 / 356 Watts / 22.6 mph. Turn to Finish: 5:06 / 359 Wa...

Monster Pull: October 2012

http://monsterpull.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Kevin Kimmich's Cycling Tales. Monday, October 22, 2012. Training with O2 Saturation. I repeated the effort on the third hill and after that I was completely fried. I pedaled squares for the rest of the ride. I'm wondering what will happen if I do short sessions like that instead of the traditional longer tempo rides and intervals. Posted by Kevin Kimmich. Middle Age of Oil. This post is a little bit off topic, but it's worth writing about. It blew my mind . Production (millions of barrels/day). The 2009...

benjacat: Okkervil, Titus, and racing

http://benjacat.blogspot.com/2011/06/okkervil-titus-and-racing.html

Sunday, June 12, 2011. Okkervil, Titus, and racing. On Saturday, I drove three hours round trip to race the 72-mile state road race, before turning around to go to Columbus to see Okkervil River and Titus Andronicus at the Newport Music Hall. Having never seen Titus Andronicus before, I suspected that they would be best enjoyed in a small, blue-collar club somewhere in Jersey. I think I am right, but they still managed to kill it in the bigger music hall setting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

benjacat: Observations from the weekend of the Fourth

http://benjacat.blogspot.com/2011/07/observations-from-weekend-of-fourth.html

Thursday, July 07, 2011. Observations from the weekend of the Fourth. 1) I have confirmed that Taco Tontos. Is my favorite place for burritos in the entire universe. If I lived near Kent, I would be morbidly obese. And happy. 2) The best way to deal with a fireworks display across the street from your house and an Alex dog that is terrified of fireworks is to go somewhere not near a fireworks display. I think he had the most pleasant Fourth of July he has had in a while. 3) The Medina Twin Sizzler.

benjacat: Tour of the Battenkill 2011

http://benjacat.blogspot.com/2011/04/tour-of-battenkill-2011.html

Friday, April 15, 2011. Tour of the Battenkill 2011. There are apparently lots of Category 2 racers in the New England area who do nothing but ride bikes all winter long. At least that is what it felt like at around mile 50 of the race on Sunday when the wheels came off the wagon and I began limping to feed zone 2 where I happily pulled the plug and accepted a ride to the finish from the "team car.". It was still a great weekend that involved nice weather and riding bikes.things could be much worse.

benjacat: March 2012

http://benjacat.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 12, 2012. We are finally no longer viewed as freeloaders. Sort of. Nearly four years ago, I wrote about the fraudulent argument. Put forth (by people like Terence P. Jeffrey) that the federal gas tax covers all of the country's road expenses. Back then, anyone paying attention knew that was completely false. The problem, of course, is that not many people pay attention. Just published an article. I recognize that no individuals actually subscribe to. And the only people who read it are thos...

benjacat: July 2011

http://benjacat.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 14, 2011. My pre-race meals tend not to be generally accepted by the people who determine the answers to these types of important, world-changing issues. As such, I will resort to the excuse of pizza legs. For a really crappy performance at the Tour of the Valley criterium. Normally, this type of stuff is kept on the down low, but a certain investigative photojournalist exposed my methods with a rare race appearance on Sunday. Thursday, July 07, 2011. 1) I have confirmed that Taco Tontos.
