Touchstone Men's Race Team: May 2009
http://touchstonemenracers.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Touchstone Men's Race Team. Friday, May 1, 2009. Wente Criterium - 4/26/09 - Cat5 22(41). The first lap was squirrely with most riders trying to figure out the corners and even the straightaway before the finish line became chaotic for a short period of time. Imagine five or six wobbling bowling pins travelling at 25 or so mph. A bit later a dog runs right into the front of the field. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Touchstone Men's Race Team: November 2008
http://touchstonemenracers.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Touchstone Men's Race Team. Wednesday, November 26, 2008. CCCX #5 - November 23, 2008. Originally uploaded by tastybite. I had the day off on Friday, which meant I rode my bike. It was a sunny cool day, and I just acquired a fancy new road bike that still has that rocketship feel, so I rode it way too far - up to Point Reyes - which is a much longer ride than I've been accustomed to lately, as most of my rides have been short intense efforts after work.

Touchstone Men's Race Team: September 2008
http://touchstonemenracers.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Touchstone Men's Race Team. Monday, September 8, 2008. LARPD CX #1 - September 6, 2008. Livermore CX #1 - 9/6/08. Originally uploaded by Cyclocross Magazine. First race of the 2008 cyclocross season, and I couldn't resist going, despite the 100 degree heat out in Livermore. BMX promoter Shane Huntoon puts on this low-key race series, where the focus is on fun, and fields tend to be smaller than some of the other NorCal CX series. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Touchstone Men's Race Team: Spring Hill Road Race 5/31/09 M45+ (52/53/75?)

Touchstone Men's Race Team. Sunday, June 14, 2009. Spring Hill Road Race 5/31/09 M45 (52/53/75? While sleeping on Saturday night, I decided to do Spring Hill the following morning. I looked at the race a month ago and dismissed it. That’s flat and windy – no way! Forget it, I need hills! Last week the thought of Spring Hill reoccurred: a tune-up race for Pescadero, could be fun. Less than stellar workouts and dead legs pushed the race back into obscurity. 8220;We can’t tell you yet, maybe wait anot...

Touchstone Men's Race Team: April 2009
http://touchstonemenracers.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Touchstone Men's Race Team. Thursday, April 16, 2009. Copperopolis M45 4/5 B/C 22(48). As one of the classic races on the NCNCA calendar, Copperopolis has a bit of a reputation, mainly because of the rough roads which have earned it the nickname “Paris-Roubaix of California! 8220;Tighten down your bike and hold on to your dentures! Don’t get me wrong: this is not Sea Otter Circuit Race pavement, it’s rough and bumpy, but it’s not riddled with massive potholes and exposed roots. While the elevation gain s...

Touchstone Men's Race Team. Tuesday, October 21, 2008. BASP CX #1 - October 19, 2008. Originally uploaded by acyee. The first "big" race of the season for me. was literally BIG - 68 guys in our field! On lap 3 of 6, things started to fall apart - I dropped my chain on the steep bumpy dirt downhill (should've put it in the big ring! Friday, October 17, 2008. LARPD CX#3 - October 11, 2008.

Touchstone Men's Race Team. Sunday, May 11, 2008. Crit Survival - EBC. The EBC crit in PTown is a short affair, 30 minutes, on a course that’s approx. 0.8 mi long, flat, smooth, with three ninety-degree and one gently curving corner. After a couple of squirrelly warm-up laps in the 22-23mph range the pace picks up and we’re consistently cruising along at 26mph (for all those really fast guys who’re laughing, remember that this is Cat5). Russian roulette comes to mind. With two laps to go the pace picks u...

Touchstone Men's Race Team. Friday, January 30, 2009. Early Bird RR 2009. It starts like almost all the others… race jitters and a restless nights sleep. The anxiety of racing is about the only thing that can break my daily hibernation most refer to as sleep. Race day breakfast, (1) CPK Frozen thin crust pizza, heated of course - 960 calories. One large glass of OJ, no pulp – 200 calories. I summit and hit the turn around about 50 yards in front of my 2 Webcore chasers. The main field is another 200 ...
