THANK YOU

On this eve of the Grammies where, anyone who chooses to watch, will be flooded with a series of “Thank You”speeches, I have decided that I would go ahead and gush out a thank you speech of my own. It is something that I have always wanted to do. Since I don’t see myself winning [...]

FrostBike 2010 ~ Transitioning From Road to Trail

When I looked out my window this morning I was greeted with inches of powdery white pretties covering my car and surrounding county neighborhood streets. My initial thought was, “We won’t be riding the road today”. But as I drove into the city hauling my skinny-treaded roadie I realized that a milder snowfall pattern had befallen [...]

FROSTBIKE–A RACER’S REFLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

FROSTBIKE—A RACER’S REFLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE
I left this Sunday’s Frostbike experience with a real “warm fuzzy”. For the record, I hate the term “warm fuzzy” but I just couldn’t come up with a better way to describe how I felt. I contemplated what aspect of Frostbike gave me this “warm fuzzy”. . Hmmmm…..Well, I’d have to say [...]

Team Rev welcomes…. “The Kid”, Our newest blog contributor

And as a precaution en route to taking things more seriously (maybe even too serious sometimes), I often over look [...]

Poly may be your friend and don’t get down on down

Two years ago, I made the transition from calling myself a runner to calling myself a cyclist.  I enjoy cycling infinitely more than running but……I must admit….Cycling is infinitely more expensive than running.  When I was a runner, I blew about $100 once a year on a pair of running shoes and maybe another $100 [...]
