Rouge Roubaix 2013
Annotated power map (click to enlarge) I have been wanting to write this race report from the moment the race was over, but it has been a crazy busy week at work. I am finally caught up enough that I can sit down to reflect on what for sure was the most epic Rouge Roubaix…

Oak Mountain Chainbuster MTB Race
The Report My first experience in timed endurance mountain bike racing went really well – I came away with a win in the solo expert class. But more importantly I think the switch flipped on during the first lap of the race, and I discovered how to ride a mountain bike over technical terrain. I…

Pensacola Cycling Classic Day 1 – Time Trial
Another tough race this evening – I was pleased with my heartrate data, but I don’t think my time was fast enough to hold onto 4th place after Jan Kolar put in a strong time to beat me. Still, it was fun – especially since the race went a couple miles into the part of…

Labor Day Omnium Day 3 – Anderson Civic Center Circuit Race
This is the same course as the NRC race that I almost won last year. Read my detailed race report from last year. I was definitely hoping to make the podium this year, but the race played out much differently since the race was much shorter. We did 25 laps of the 2.7 mile course…

Criterium – Big crash with no more free laps. Instead of immediately telling us there were no more free laps so that we could…
