Boo, the King Kog logo got nixed from the photoshoot? Lame.

It gets harder to pretend that we all hate each other when we all ride for the same team on the road.

I bought a new pen yesterday and went a little crazy with my free time today. Ended up hand drawing a tech guide for the Killington Stage Race this weekend. This next month of racing is going to be so much fun.

How many chains will you go through in a season? Cables?

Thu, 16 May 2013 20:44:18 -0400

I’ll usually do four chains a year on my road bike. All the cables on my last two frames from Specialized has been fully internal so once it’s set up I don’t have to touch it. I think I recabled once last year and that was because some housing cracked in travel.

Motor pacing ouchies at Floyd Benet Fiels this morning with Rob and Evan. We got Philly on the brain.

I rode Brooklyn to Nyack on a single speed bike two Saturdays ago, 66 miles roundtrip. I'm a big guy at 270 lbs. It was kind of stupid, but it was great fun and felt like an accomplishment. Do you think I'm the biggest person to ever do this?

My personal experience in cycling tells me that there is always someone that has already done pretty much everything. So I don’t think so.

Ride 120 miles yesterday to remember what that feels like. Now I’m really looking forward to Philly.

Out take from the RHC poster shoot for the navy yard. I’m taking this all super seriously.

CRCA Sends Composite Team to Philly Cycling Classic

CRCA Sends Composite Team to Philly Cycling Classic:

CRCA is extremely proud to field an Elite Team at the Parx Casino Philly Cycling Classic on Sunday, June 2nd

I’m still a little bit in disbelief that I get to race Philly this season. So motivated for this. And although I can’t give it all away just yet CRCA will be sending a team to a UCI 2.2 stage race later in the season as well!

how are you liking training with a coach versus how you trained previously?

Wed, 08 May 2013 20:42:39 -0400

It’s nice not having to think about training. I just go and train. Having someone to bounce ideas around with is also pretty helpful. Overall having Tim O’shea as my coach is on the list of things I didn’t know I needed but now can’t live with out.

as someone trying to "make it" in pro cycling, why don't you move from nyc to somewhere more conducive to training?

Tue, 07 May 2013 19:50:50 -0400

Because “making it” in pro cycling has way more to do with your support network. I don’t need anything special to train. But I do need the time, flexibility, and a roof over my head.

what kind of interval training do you do to get race ready?

Tue, 07 May 2013 14:19:20 -0400

That’s a complicated question that I have answered for me by my coach on a weekly basis.

Races# 8, 9, and 10

After the first two races at speedweek I got super sick. It sucked. The last three races of the week were pretty brutal. I bridged to a break at Spartenburg. Rotated on the front of Belmont and brought Rafael back to the front after a crash at Sandy Springs which was held in hurricane conditions… At the end of the week we went home with 3rd team overall and Jesse earning the U25 jersey.

Oh and Evan won like a four cat two races. Congrats on the well earned upgrade.

Did you have fun at speed week?

Mon, 06 May 2013 15:09:18 -0400

Other then being sick for four days… Yes. It was great.

We’re hanging out in Greenville until Sunday. I’m finally feeling better and getting back to racing tonight with the rest of the guys in Spartanburg.

Speed week is rolling along. We’re now on our second rest day. I’ve been sick all week since Roswell and have been forced to sit out the last two races. Hopefully back at it tomorrow for the last three.
