Race reports from the season
I’m finally raising my head up from sand after competing in the 2019 TransRockies Classic 7 day mtb stage race. This event traversed the Canadian Rockies from Panorama B.C. Canada to Fernie B.C. Canada. Riding 350m/550km and 39000’/12000m elevation gain over 7 days in remote parts of the Canadian Rockies. This is an event I […]
The 2013 edition of the 24hrs in the Old Pueblo was my 4th start of a 24hr solo. I had completed in the previous years edition and ended up 3rd there and my goal was to just get through without stopping for any significant time and have a good time. I easily accomplished that goal. […]
The Trek Colorado Race Team put together a great video from the recent 24hrs in the old pueblo event. Check it out
The 24hrs of Moab was on my mind since early spring soon after 24hrs in the Old Pueblo. I knew 2012 was the last year for the race and I wanted to do it before it was gone. After my original support crew (my wife and kids) backed out because of other commitments I was planning […]
I’ve been working on this post for almost three weeks. It’s finally done. It’s rambles on, but it gives a bit of insight of my experience with this epic event. When I first read about this race back in 2008, I never thought I could or would do this event. It was way out of […]
Wow, what a day! The PV Cycle Derby went off yesterday and boy was it a good one. The venue was at the Peaceful Valley Boy Scout Camp in Elbert, CO. This is a great place to hold any type of MTB Race. Our race was three 22 mile loops that zigged and zagged through […]
I was going into my third 100 mile MTB race of the year a little nervous. I had a lingering saddle sore since the prior weekends race, the Laramie Enduro, and I didn’t feel recovered from the same race either. Also, on paper, the Pierre’s Hole says there is over 18000ft of climbing (4600 per […]
I got a last minute entry to the Laramie Enduro thanks to friend Josh Bezecny. I wasn’t sure if I should race, only because I have another much larger and harder race next weekend, the Pierres Hole 100. But I couldn’t resist, it’s a great event, fun trails, and I wanted some redemption from last […]
My 2nd 100 miler is the books. It seemed like it took for ever to start. I really enjoyed last years race, and couldn’t wait to do it again. I wanted to come a little more prepared. Quick Stats: 21st Overall 2nd in Age group finished in 10:03:24 7:30min faster then last year Started in […]
Before the race even started, I thought I was out. While warming up, on the first turn into dirt I was down and broke the strap on my shoe. After I calmed down a bit I found some electrical tape, repaired the shoe and was back to a warm up. Whew! The trail system for […]
