Awesome work by Zack Vestal and Mavic.  Makes me miss Colorado so much, but I”ll be back to ride these roads soon!

Despite a rough weekend for the Boulder Cup, I took an extra day off, hit the intervals and got back on track. Whatever virus I might have had was gone and my asthma was back in check. It was nice to train hard and feel good, so going into this race, I was feeling confident, […]


Even though it’s been over a week, I thought I’d write a little report for arguably our biggest cross weekend in Colorado (next to the USGP in Fort Collins). The Colorado Cross Classic and Boulder Cup are classics. One takes place on the well known Boulder Reservoir course while the Boulder Cup takes place at […]

Over the past few years, I’ve developed a great relationship with the great people over at Gates Carbon Drive while racing cyclocross for them. This summer, they’ve helped open the door for me to get back to my roots racing a select calendar of mountain bike races in the rocky mountain region. It feels good […]


A start!

This past weekend was one of the more famous road races in Colorado, the Boulder Roubaix. Since I raced cyclocross through the end of December, I’m just now starting my build phase of my training, so while I have good base fitness, I don’t have a whole lot of top end. I figured I needed […]
