2013 Grasshopper Adventure Series – Chileno Valley Video
In the world of “training rides”, the Hoppers are king for putting the pain in train. Chileno Valley is the second in the series and gifts us with 80 miles of road sprinkled with 7800+ feet of climbing. Sure, everyone could just take it easy and cruise those numbers. But that never seems to happen,…

2012 Surf City CX Race 3 – Singlespeed A Men Video
Last race of the 2012 Surf City Cyclocross series. Signed up for the single-speed race and got myself whooped. Steam must be running out after two days of racing.

2012 Bay Area Super Prestige Series Race 5 – M45A Men Video
Final event of the 2012 Bay Area Super Prestige Series. Jumped in for a second race after suffering in the singlespeed category. This time I chased the Masters 45+ A field around. With more than a single gear this course is far nicer on the legs. Plus the sun was out drying things up and…

2012 Bay Area Super Prestige Series Race 5 – Singlespeed A Men Video
Final event of the 2012 Bay Area Super Prestige Series. Here’s the singlespeed A men’s category doing battle on this tough course. The combination of long flat sections and a few short steep climbs makes it tricky to pick the right gearing. Too easy and spin out in the flats. Too hard and choke on…
