All the hard work of recovery and training paid off with my fastest century ever, averaging 20.9 mph! (Of course, a lot of that was due to me grabbing the fastest wheel I could find and being dragged for 70 miles.)

This picture popped up on Strava and I like it a lot so I thought I'd share it here. The jersey was a gift from my absurdly supportive partner. She likes me in flowers and encourages all my worst bicycle shopping excesses.

Well done! 🍻

A little under 30 miles with my wife on a cooler day in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia - early fall is here.

A little gravel:


The Alliance continues to be a perfectly smooth ride:

A beautiful fall day, empty dirt roads and fresh wild apples served roadside.
What more could I ask for?

First decent weather in a very long time, so I had to go out.









Unfortunately I hit the ground pretty hard today, but the helmet did its job. Thanks, Giro.

From recent trip to the Dolomites. What an amazing place to ride.

More adventures in Angeles National Forest just outside of Los Angeles. I started this ride from my house pre-sunrise, heading up Angeles Crest Highway in the morning mist to hit the dirt and ultimately passing 10,000 feet of elevation gain in the first 60 miles of riding and hike-a-bike (that was rough).

Looks amazing. I’ve never made it up that far. Do you have a Strava or anything of the ride?

It’s the western 1/3 of this ride:

We took ACH to Angeles Forest Highway and started the route from there heading west.
