Life, on bikes, in words. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. It Must Be Spring: Johnny Cake Series #1 Race Report. In March of 2005 I went to my first bike race, the first race of the Johnny Cake lane series, then in its 2 nd. Season, but every March I look forward to these races as much as I look forward to any other races on the calendar. For those of you unfamiliar with the regional scene here in the NE, the Johnny Cake Lane Spring Series is a three race road race series promoted by CBRC. True to form, the firs...

Life, on bikes, in words. Thursday, December 10, 2009. Layover-d: Sterling and Warwick in Hindsight, and Too Many Hours in an Airport. I have been in the Seattle/Tacoma airport since noon (local time) and it is now nearly 3:30. My flight leaves at 5:55. Oops. Funny how I got on a 6:05am flight out of Albany for this.have to plan the itinerary a little more carefully next time. Sterling, MA Day 1, 11/28:. Yes, I have arrived. That's me in the click-through photo for the gallery). And settled into 11th, wi...

Words And Wheels: April 2009

Life, on bikes, in words. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Act Like You Been Somewhere (A Guest Editorial on life in the Feed Zone). Rob Serling has narrated a lot of my Saturdays and Sundays in the last couple of years. He whispers a little something that goes like this: "There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Feed Zone.". So…maybe the 'stay away' advice means 'enough is enough.' From my point of view, though, i...I suspe...

Words And Wheels: November 2009
http://wordswheelsandwhy.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Life, on bikes, in words. Wednesday, November 4, 2009. After Saturday's Wicked Creepy 'Cross in Bennington. Anyway I got over it. I was pre-registered for the HPCX UCI race down in New Jersey, but I was dreading the 6 hour round trip and felt ill-equipped to score UCI points given the relatively strong field. Ethan Gilmour and Me, running the Birch Logs. Photo Courtesy of Alan Atwood. Al got an uncharacteristically quick start, but I sneaked past him for the hole shot and led through the barriers and ont...

Words And Wheels: Decembering
http://wordswheelsandwhy.blogspot.com/2009/12/decembering.html
Life, on bikes, in words. Monday, December 7, 2009. Wow, no blogging for ages! I have missed the blogosphere, but for a bunch of reasons have been lacking in time and wherewithal to write. November was an interesting month from all angles. I finally started to come around form-wise and have had some good rides, most recently at Sterling, MA and Warwick, RI where I finally picked up my first UCI points of the year, just in time for nationals! December 7, 2009 at 3:35 PM. Sorry about the job. =(.

http://wordswheelsandwhy.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Life, on bikes, in words. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. My garden is in full bloom with soccer ball sized heads of broccoli and 24" tall potato plants already. Yesterday I packed my daughter off to Summer camp in Vermont, where she is happy as a clam and enjoying all the best bits of being almost 11. I skipped the bike races this past weekend in favor of domesticity, relaxation and sleep.and my apartment it still a mess. Over the weekend of 6/13-14, teammates Matt Purdy. Road Race on Saturday, and the Saranac.

Life, on bikes, in words. Saturday, October 24, 2009. The Rain in Maine Falls Mainly in the Bike Race. Verge NECCS Race #7:. Long drive, cold rain, more cold rain, sloppy-slip-slop course conditions, warm-up in the car, shivering, line up, race, crash, race, pass guys, get passed, ride clean lines, fall down some, finish 16th. Pineland Farms is pretty. Labels: Bike Racing/Race Reports/Racing Culture. It was a really fantastic weekend, and the Midweek Cycling club is to be commended. I'm running out of wa...

Life, on bikes, in words. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. I'm not blogging today. Nope, no time. If I was blogging today, though, I would be writing a little about Johnny Cake #2, a little about the upcoming Good Friday Road Race in Hamilton, Ontario, and a little about the naked, fat old guy rumpus I endure every time I go to the gym. Hint: possibly bad manners to stand at the sink, en flagrante, and dry you entire. Body with the hair dryer. Just sayin'. More on all of this, for better and worse, soon. We were...

Words And Wheels: December 2009
http://wordswheelsandwhy.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Life, on bikes, in words. Saturday, December 26, 2009. It sucked. I'll get around to a race report, but the significant detail is merely that I had a sinus infection for 10 days before leaving, and I decided to take antibiotics rather than risk getting really sick since I wasn't getting better. Infection gone, form gone with it. You ever raced on antibiotics? Then you know what I'm talking about. But more on USAC's annual fundraiser/bake sale/Ice Capades later. Thursday, December 10, 2009. In any event, ...
