Sterling

Sterling has always been a super race. Well supported, a good value, and race I’ve had decent results at. I’ve found myself in DA BREAK at this race several times, usually getting popped at some point. BUT THIS YEAR WILL BE DIFFERENT (will it?).

Saving The Vanishing Road Race 9

Road races are a dying species, and more and more keep falling off the calendar. The list of canceled road races gets longer: Wayne Elliot, Housatonic Hills, Lake Auburn. — Russ Campbell (@rusto88) April 24, 2013 Russ Campbell’s tweet got those of us who are sitting behind a desk talking on the Twitters. And maybe talking ...

Marblehead, AKA OH HEY BIKES.

I haven’t raced my bike since Mayor’s Cup. Since 2005 I’ve raced cross, but then 2012 was a busy year and I had to choose between “racing bikes” and “being a functional human being”. So it was a long time between bike races, and though one would expect me to be SUPER ABSURDLY EXCITED about ...

Lotus Notes OSX Alert 3

Lotus Notes OSX Alert (mp3) You may have heard that I use Lotus Notes at work as an “email” “client” (both are in quotes because Lotus Notes is so fucking terrible I refuse to put it in the same category as Gmail, Postbox or Pine). You may also have heard me bitching on Twitter about how ...

Food times 3

This weekend I planned on a bunch o’ bike riding, which included one day with Alex Cox and probably the Exeter ride on Sunday.

But both cost ...

Bicycle numbers in 2012

Hey! It’s 2013. Hooray? Anyway, here are some numbers about the bicycle riding from 2012 – cocksizing, I suppose, perhaps? I use the great training spreadsheet (2013 version coming soon) and Strava. SO! 9767 miles 524 hours 5696 miles of bicycle commuting Those are really the only stats I have. So um yes. Bicycles. I like ...

Some Things About Heckling in a Cross Race 8

I was talking to Steve and Cosmo today (in different instances of the Google chat), and we were talking about heckling. And then JD Bilodeau tweeted some things that make sense!

SICK WATTS (It’s a T-shirt) 2

YEAH! Some t-shirts. Design by Ryan White, as he’s my design dude. Here’s what they look like in Illustrator: They will cost $20. I should have them with me at Gloucester on Sunday (and a Square reader!) so track me down and you can buy one (or coordinate with me before hand). Cash or credit ...
