Well, I guess its one way of gauging a season (for better or for worse!) but I finally made it into a major cycling publication: Velonews! Here’s a screen capture of the Velonews website with the picture by Kurt Jambretz. The caption reads “Atlanta 100K: A small breakaway of three riders formed and put a…
Quick Summary: 41st out of well over 100 riders, 3rd place in a 3-place mid-race sprint, initiated the main break of the day, rode aggressively The Details: Wow, what a racing experience – from start to finish. Let me run you through the day. 5:15AM wakeup call to eat some pancakes and let them digest…

First, let me start with a question. If this was your expensive carbon front wheel, what would you do? This happened during a crit when I heard a loud pop and thought I had blown a tire. I was able to finish the race with no apparent problems, but the clicking I heard during braking…

The fields were also stacked with what seemed like most of the top pros based out of the southeast entering this year. So…
