infinitely sustainable pace

This weekend flew by, I was definitely missing those extra days of vacationland. Luckily there’s a three-day weekend on the way. On Saturday I changed my the shoes on my cross bike from road to off-road and went out for a road/dirt road ride. Fabulous weather out there. My plan was calling for some tempo [...]

And I know I was wrong When I said it was true That it couldn’t be me and be her Inbetween without you Without you Inbetween Days, The Cure The Darkhorse 40 marked the final event on my 2010 cycling calendar. As hard as I’m trying, as of right now I’ve got no official races [...]

After the super fun time that we had at Singlespeed-apalooza in April, we knew that we had to go back for their other event – the Darkhorse 40. 40 miles of singletrack in the Stewart State Forest. I was feeling a bit of self-imposed pressure after winning the sport womens category at SSAP and really [...]
