Slow Velo: road bikes, cycling, cyclocross, food, or whatever pops in my head. Monday, October 29, 2012. The Lowell 50: lost and found! For part 1 of this report, go here! Also, check my buddy Joe's account of the race here! So I was saying, Joe had taken off on his 50 mile journey. Charles was up near the front waiting for the 28 mile race to start. Kendal, Dan and I were at the back. It was time to race! Drafting off you is awesome! I don't even have to pedal! Get away from me! I had read reports about...

Slow Velo: road bikes, cycling, cyclocross, food, or whatever pops in my head. Monday, April 29, 2013. AAVC Spring Training Series Willow Time Trial. Before I begin my tales of bike racing glory, I have a public service announcement:. This is a bottle of prune juice. It may appear innocuous. Do not be fooled! This is only for the sick. It should be sold in the pharmaceutical aisles, not the juice aisle! This bottle of juice can render a healthy person debilitated for a day or more! Afterwards, I was curi...

Slow Velo: My newest hobby!
http://www.slowvelo.com/2014/07/my-newest-hobby.html
Slow Velo: road bikes, cycling, cyclocross, food, or whatever pops in my head. Saturday, July 12, 2014. It's been a LONG time! Last I left off, I was incredibly demoralized with bike racing. I had an awful race at Cherry Roubaix, battled injury after injury, and didn't feel good again until September or October. In October, my best ride was a solo 50 mile ride where I averaged 23 mph (ok, it was like 22.7mph but I round up)! The problem, of course, was that I did not want to workout. See.after yo...So I ...

I'm sure I mentioned several times that I am registered for the 36 mile bike Barry Roubaix. Race It's on March 23rd in Hastings, MI. But I'm not sure if I mentioned that I am part of a team! I know what you're all thinking.but no, I did not sign with Team Bissell. Or Team Jelly Belly. Instead, I have joined the equally prestigious ranks of Team Speedy Chubs.

The first part of my Zipp warranty fiasco is documented here: Zipp hates me. So here's the aftermath. I attempted to email SRAM customer service. Didn't get anywhere. A friend referred me to a guy he knew that worked with Zipp. He was very helpful and forwarded my displeasure to their Zipp product manager. In the meantime, the original dealer got back with me. The Zi...

Slow Velo: road bikes, cycling, cyclocross, food, or whatever pops in my head. Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Kisscross cyclocross race at Markin Glen Park (part 2). For part 1 of this report, go here. The race director said something that I didn't pay attention to, as is my usual behavior. The first wave included the men and women C. I figured I'd be slow even among the slow, so I put myself near the back just behind Dan. And we were off! Sadly, there was no canon or gun shot or even a loud "Go! The pedal ...
