Experiencing Pain
by
With a great sense of accomplishment I rolled in to my home after a wicked 112km ride. I enjoyed 1200m of climbing and some awesome scenery and then climbing the stairs for a much needed shower it hit, knee pain. Figuring it was really just left over tired from a long day I thought little…
RunKeeper Review
by
If you’re training with any amount of seriousness you start tracking the distance, time, heart rate and anything else that you can. For a while now I’ve used RunKeeper to do all my tracking and workout comparison so let’s take a look. The Good RunKeeper starts off with a great design and lots of information.…
Switché – Cleaning up ⌘ – Tab
by
For a while now I’ve been using Apple’s Spaces to keep myself organized while I work. Typically I have one space I’m working in and one space with all of my communication tools (Adium, Skype, Linkinus, Echofon). I need to keep those tools on for client communication, asking questions and some break from the isolation…
Mavic Aksium Review
by
**UPDATE April 17, 2012:** I’ve now done a [5000km review][5000] of the wheels. The short version is I repeat what I think below and highlight a problem. While I haven’t blogged about each time I’ve broken a spoke, I’ve been through almost 10 spokes in the last year. Most of the spokes I’ve busted have…
Changed Ride Plans
by
Today’s ride was supposed to be a leg destroying climb up Elk Mountain. About 5 minutes from the door I go my first look at the mountain and realized this wasn’t going to happen since the snow line had come to almost the bottom of it over night. A quick mental check sent me out…
Riding In Seattle
by
I was in Seattle yesterday for a conference and took my bike because I figured I’d be able to get in an early morning ride. I took it easy this morning just because I wanted to enjoy the scenery I’m not used to. A few pictures from the ride below.
Enjoy The View
by
Just figured I’d share a picture from today’s ride. I am very lucky to live outside of Vanouver BC (Chilliwack actually) and have so many beautiful mountains around me. Any ride I go on has many spots that just take your breath away with their beauty. Sure I’m training but I also figure if I…
Train Where You’re Weak
by
We all have areas in our sport that make us cry (well at least parts we don’t look forward too) like hills, headwinds, group rides…and part of progressing as a rider is learning to love the things we hate. Typically the things we don’t like are also the things we’re not all that good at.…
Cycling Interval Workout – Race Pick Ups
by
This is my first season racing and I’ve found that attacks can come fast and furious. As soon as you’ve hung on through one attack someone else decides to do it again and you’ve got to go hard with little/no rest. With that in mind I’ve got a workout designed to make you go hard…
Even Splits – Cycling Endurance Workout
by
This is a great workout to build mental toughness as well as late race/ride power and endurance. For even splits you need to pick your route with care. Find a route that has the same difficulty on both the out and back leg. The goal here is to record your time at the turn around…
