March 20th, 2008 3 Comments

I just got a notification about the status of Trek’s Project One. Even if there are a few kinks left to work out and even though the pricing isn’t on the site just yet I am thrilled that Trek decided to let us have a look at what they are planning. Praise to [...]

Project One Goes Live With the New Madones

March 19th, 2008 No Comments

Just in time for riding season Trek has decided to turn on Project One. I am not sure if that means that they are planning on fulfilling those orders before the end of summer or not but it gives me something to drool over. I didn’t see prices, but I am betting that [...]

Logan Cycling Psychopaths

March 5th, 2008 1 Comment

I like to ride, but I won’t be joining these guys. I must be getting old since riding in the middle of the night in the cold doesn’t seem especially appealing. I’ll stick to the trainer in front of the computer.

2008 Tour de France - Don’t Watch It

February 23rd, 2008 No Comments

As long as I am ranting about everything under the sun I may as well add the Tour de France to the list. This year they have banned Team Astana from participating. The result of this action is that Alberto Contador and Levi Leipheimer, last years 1st and 3rd place finishers won’t be [...]

February 13th, 2008 No Comments

It is no secret that I have been excited to see the new 2008 Trek Madonne for a while. I have now seen the 5.5 and 5.2 in the local shop. They say they will get a 6.5. I am still hoping that is true. It took a long time for [...]

Trek Project One Delayed

January 14th, 2008 1 Comment

During the winter I become a little less obsessed with bikes. The fact that the only place I have to ride is in my office on my trainer while it is 19 degrees outside doesn’t help. In spite of the winter cycling duldrums I have been looking forward to January 1 for a [...]

Cycling Pack Mentality

December 11th, 2007 No Comments

Cycling is an interesting individual sport that requires teams. That seems like a paradox, whenever you are riding you are alone. There is no one to pass the ball to. There are no other rowers. Its just you and the bike and you personally have to make all the decisions. [...]

Olympic Cycling Considering Move to Ogden

October 18th, 2007 1 Comment

There is an article on KSL indicating that USA Olympic cycling might move to Ogden (Utah). Again on Velo news. Given the strong community of cyclists in Utah and the fact that I love cycling this would be awesome.
I know what I will be praying for for the next month.

Cache Valley Century

August 25th, 2007 1 Comment

I rode the Cache Valley Century today. It was 100 miles of pure fun. My legs didn’t cramp up at the end this time and I met new people and I had a chance to ride with a couple of people from the Space Dynamics Lab. They are always fun to ride [...]

Daily Commute

August 10th, 2007 No Comments

I rode my mountain bike into work today again. Since riding a mountain bike on the road is like only your SUV to pick up the kids and buy groceries (welcome to America), I needed some time off road with my sexy Blur XC. We went up the River Trail. I love [...]
