Client Alex G. came out from Michigan for a little R&R.  We had a chance to meet in person, and go ride one of the best Singletrack trails in Breckenridge.

Here is a great example of a training session for XC and Endurance racing.    This workout is using power at zone 7 (150% ftp) for 30 sec on, and 30 secs. off.  There are 4 sets of 5 intervals each with a 5 min rest between interval.  Each set includes 5 intervals at 30sec […]

This year I will donate ALL my plan sales in March to the Bailey Hundo.  If […]

I was watching the race in Downtown Golden.  While Levi passed by he was taking a new bottle from the team car, and throws his bottle.  It was funny to catch it on video.  At the time I didn’t know it was him throwing the bottle, if I had known I would have grabbed it.
