    Updated my previous post with the remaining videos: 2001 Vineyard Cyclocross Race at Domaine Chandon

  • Snow in Marin!

    Captured a few photos from the other day when it snowed around the bay area. Very weird looking out my window and seeing snow covered hills in Marin. Photos taken with a Sony DCR-TRV30 on February 28, 2002.

  • Great Northern California Cyclocross Site

    Check out Dave Carr’s website The NVV Cyclocross Circuit. It’s a wealth of information about cyclocross. You will find interesting items like the discussion thread about cyclocross and road overtraining. Who to believe? Richard Fries, Joe Friel, or Rene and Kendra Wenzel? You decide. I recommend the site!

  • 2001 Vineyard Cyclocross Race at Domaine Chandon

    Here is the video from the 2001 Vineyard Cyclocross Race at Domaine Chandon. To experiment a little I decided to film this race with the camera pointing backwards. The shots are almost what I expected. The angle was a little too low so I will need to aim higher next time. At first you might…

  • Unequal justice for cyclists

  • Sunsets are really cool

    How can anyone not enjoy a great sunset? When I lived in Arizona I would see amazing sunsets all of the time. “Particulates in the air” was one explanation I heard for this.

  • Passing of my grandmother

    On November 23, 2001 my grandmother Florence Dodds Smith passed away. She was an incredible woman that influenced my life in ways that I am still realizing. She was always caring and loving towards me. Always interested in how life was treating me and that I was happy. I will miss her. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette…

  • Central Coast Cyclocross Race 3 Report

    The rain has arrived in Northern California, much to the delight of all the sick and twisted cyclocross racers out here. Yes, there were people wishing for rain last Sunday at the 3rd Central Coast Cyclocross race. I guess racing at lactic threshold, running up steep slippery hills, flying around sand covered corners, and hurtling…

  • Awesome Lance Armstrong ‘Enjoy the Weather’ Cycling Video
