Rockville CX Race #8 Back (2/16/20) After years of trying, it finally happened. So many races, so many mishaps and incidents, so many times near the front. Rockville was dry.  It has not rained there in weeks. I have not raced there in two weeks. After my last mud filled...

Grasshopper: Low Gap Back (1/25/20) Starting this winter, I decided to get my hands and feet dirty (figuratively and literally) with cyclocross and gravel riding. What a better opportunity that the Grasshopper Low Gap: it is only 43 miles, 50% percent of which is on pavement, and 5,600...

Cycle to the Sun, The Race Up Mt. Haleakala Back (6/29/19) I've put off writing this report in part because I needed to decompress from this event and the lead-up to it.
