2011 Central Virginia MS 150
6, Jun 2011Here is the ride summary I wrote to thank the folks who donated to support my ride this year. I have never written one of these. It turns out I am a damn rambly sombitch. The Saturday leg of the ride started at 7:30am from Rockett’s Landing in downtown Richmond. The route sent us out [...]
Velo News about RVA’s chance to host the Road Worlds
12, Apr 2011“Is Richmond Ready for the Worlds?” does a nice job of laying out Richmond’s history of hosting cycling events with some great photos. I know from personal experience that Richmond has the sort of geography changes in a relatively small regional area to create several different and challenging courses. Local pro, and all-around cool guy, [...]
Bike in a bulb.
17, Feb 2011This is a nice pairing of things I like: bikes and light bulb art. (But now that I look, it seems I didn’t post about those Kaws lightbulbs. Man, I’m a slack blogger.) [via Prolly Is Not Probably ]

2010′s Mileage totals
11, Jan 2011I use dailymile.com to track my miles. It’s nice to be able to see what I got done last year and when I did it. 1500 miles is pretty good, but I bet I can beat it in 2011.

Anthem Moonlight Ride is August 21st
9, Aug 2010I am sad that I can’t make it to the Moonlight Ride this year. We’re going on vacation later than normal and I’m going to be out of town. Emma and I had a terrific time last year and if you’re in Richmond and have a kid to make the ride with I can’t recommend [...]

Bike Tip: Pay attention to equipment wear
10, May 2010I’ve noticed some extra lateral play in my bike shoes the last couple of times I have been out riding. Throwing my foot out of line affects how I’m turning the crank and I’m sure the change from the normal motion played a part in the back/hip flexor pain I was fighting down in North [...]

Bike MS 150 – 2010
4, May 2010As you know, I have gotten pretty into cycling over the last year and a half. I have done long training rides on weekends, weekend tours out of state, shorter charity rides here in Richmond with my daughter Emma, and of course 2009’s MS150 Ride. The personal improvement I have felt from cycling is far [...]
