Sassafras Mountain Epic Ride
Here is the map from the Sassafras ride I did this past Monday to officially end my racing season. This was definitely an epic ride that I think is the best way to end a season of hard training and racing. The ride was 98.3 miles and nearly 8500′ of climbing. This was a little…

End of the season epic – Sassafras Mountain
It has been a longstanding tradition dating back to my college days at Clemson to end the season the week after the Michellin Classic (now called the Greenville Cycling Classic) with an epic solo ride.

Ivan Basso, Doping, and Redemption
Ivan Basso will be racing again very soon at the Japan Cup on October 26. I personally am glad that he is racing again, and I hope that he really has put the temptation to dope behind him. I like his plan of publishing all of his workouts, power data, etc… online so that people…

College Playground
I love that the last big race of the year and the end of my long racing season each year is in Greenville, South Carolina – very close to my alma matter of Clemson University. Check out my topocreator map! Clemson is highlighted near the center, Greenville is in the upper right, and Highlands, NC…

Flat tires
With two flat tires in two consecutive days, I thought it was worth posting about my bad luck. Yesterday on the way into work, I had not made it a mile from my house and my rear tire was flat. I didn’t hear a popping or deflating noise, it just went flat so I thought…
