2008 Bull’s Gap Time Trial
Quick summary: 3rd place! behind two Masters World Time Trial Champions: Mike Olheiser (2006) and David Grice (2003). I was happy with just about every aspect of my ride except for having a little bit too much left towards the end. Mike’s time of 48’27” shattered the old course record set by GW by over…

Bull’s Gap Time Trial
Here is a blast from the past. I am racing this Sunday for sentimental reasons as much as for the training. It will be exactly 15 years since my first bicycle race – the Bull’s Gap time trial in 1993. Here a couple pictures my dad took during that race. You can’t miss the tube…

Alabama State Road Race and Huntsville Crit (updated)
Update: Somebody just pointed out to me that the criterium was not the state championship criterium. That is coming up here in Birmingham at the Pepper Crit in September. If I can medal in that race, then I will have medaled in all three Alabama state championship events! Quick summary: 3rd yesterday in the road…

Alabama State Road Race – Update
It was a very exciting race, and it came down to an exciting three-up sprint which I led out, head down, 40mph (slight downhill) thinking that I had the jump to hold it to the line – but Mike Olheiser and Matt Winstead came around with less than 50 meters to go. That meant third…

Versus! Tour de France Stage 11
We found out yesterday that we could add Versus to our extremely cheap cable lineup for only $10/month. I am sure that it is a mistake somehow, but we now have Charter 10Meg Internet, basic digital service (channels 2-13), the discovery channel (23), and the sports package including Versus (212) for only $45/month! Anyway, I’m…

Alabama state time trial champion
From worst to first! Anybody who knows my racing knows that I usually finish towards the bottom end of the group in time trials. Today I turned that around — well, sorta … I placed third today in the 1/2/3 category but since I was the only Cat 1 from Alabama in the race, I…
