So, this cold morning I suited up for cyclocross workout at the Elks in Boulder, it was the first cross workout i have been to in 3 weeks. Broken finger, some stitches and a few groggy mornings have kept me from getting the cross on. It was dark and cold this morning, I opted for a little less clothing; the first 15 minutes, as I rolled down Jay Road to the course I was cursing up, down and sideways. My 2 busted fingers were even colder, which is weird. They were not having it, and since I couldn’t really move them it made them even more angry and uncooperative. The workout was good,...

Got a nice package in the mail from my friend Jed, cyclocrosser, road racer, promoter and all around good dude. Getting this old school style ski hat in the mail sporting NYCX made my week. I miss the east, I miss the mid-atlantic, I miss all my friends and all my rides. The Drives ride, Greentree, Dlowe’s big cross loop, intervals on WRD, Sat morning TT’s, Granogue, Wiss, the MAC. I am missing all that mojo in my cyclocross step right now. So, I harness the power of what I have lost and build from what I have gained. From my new hat to the newly glued up REVWW 50’s...

Headed up to Nederland, Colorado to catch some fall colors and also do a little hiking up to Lost Lake. It is a short hike, took us a total of 2.5 hours with some goofing around up at the lake. It is more like a walk, but beautiful none-the-less. The air was very crisp and there were little pockets of snow around. Took the day off the bike and missed what looked like some fun racing in Frisco, Colorado. A bout with some allergies on Friday night kept me up to the wee-hours of the morning prompting a nice sleep in to try and catch up with what I had lost that night. So, groggy and all allergic...

*— This is something that was created a number of years ago, like the concept, might recycle the idea—* As a complete and total bicycle geek I often spend more time on bikes than anything is this world. It is interesting to see how it effects our small, tight culture of cyclists who are very passionate about the sport we particpate in. There are certain things that people just don’t understand. This section we will investigate what this weird and quarky rituals and habits that no one understands except cyclists. Below is a working list of ways that we BicycleNerds standout...

First, got a new shirt that I screenprinted here at HOWDY. This one is pretty cool. I like the color contrast. Hit the roads and trails yesterday afternoon for a look at some of the Boulder Open Spaces/parks that exist within a few miles of my house. Found sounds fun off road stuff that is perfect for the cross bike. That smell was in the air, the smell of fall, burning leaves or somewhere a fireplace is a roost. That smell make me become nostalgic, thinking of times when life was easier and less complicated. I rolled around a good bit, got a little wet from an passing storm and just...

Fall is in the air, more ways than one. From the leaves changing, to me, well, literally falling a lot. As the leaves change, the air gets cool I am out there averaging about on fall a week. So to comemerate this fall I have started production of some HOWDY t-shirts. The one seen below or above is a prototype, colors might change a hair, but look for HOWDY stuff to hit the internet in the next few weeks, belt buckles, shirts, some stickers. Pretty quite this week in Boulder, I think everyone is at INTERBIKE in Vegas and getting ready to throw down HOWDY style at Cross Vegas. Fall...

After Saturdays open leg shake out at Green Mountain Sports cross in Golden where I wore lucky number 13, yes, I am superstitious. Not a great way to open the racing season, especially after my summer bad luck, but hey whateverm it is racing. Lucky number 13 did not haunt me in Golden, it might have made me slowe, but it did not rear its ugly head. Golden was cool, liked the course and it felt good to gets the legs wet so to speak. It was our first time in Breckenridge and the drive out was really nice, the temps slowly dropped as we headed into the mountains, it was 70 in Boulder and...

Well, for me it was the first race that I have done sine July 26th, 2009 where I rode to the Liberty Crit in Malvern PA, raced the P1/2 and rode home for 100 miles with a fast crit in the middle ( I think I was 10th). I am happy overall with my race, not my best, not my fastest and hopefully not my last. If anyone could have seen me a month ago when I was in massive pain with paralysis in my right arm ( maybe 15 percent usage), I was sure that was it for me, for riding and all things I love. It is weird how things creep up and then threaten to alter life as I know it. I am not going to...

I feel this burn inside, from head to toe. It is an odd feeling, one that I brought on, I conjured up. Is it regret? It is sadness? Is it frustration? Some days even a week can be bad, something just not hitting home, something that sets the matter upstairs in a wrong direction. The matter that makes each of us an individual, a person, with unique and own thoughts. That matter that controls the so called ship or pod that walks this earth. I have had a few hard knocks this week, something just not clicking, the lack of focus, the italian passion, not sure. Sometimes I feel as though...
