The truth is many of the cyclists I know refuse to do any type of resistance training in the off season.  I hear a variety of reasons as to why they don't make the effort, and one of the most common is that the athletes believe that resistance training...

A coaching client recently traveled to Zurich for some business.  He snapped this shot and sent it to me.  It looks like a fantastic place to ride, and it looks like there is a fair amount of riding going on there as a way of life.

On such a great day I was surprised to get messages from 6 people bailing out on the planned ride to Fenton.  The 5 of us who "stuck" it out were treated to absolutely perfect dirt on our way to and from Fenton.  

Coaching client Mark W. spent an extra 3 weeks in Tucson this spring recovering from a terrible crash, and resulting surgery.  The injuries were severe enough that he now has more titanium in his leg / hip than most avid riders have in their cherished Moots.  Severity aside, there...

Coaching client DC has been tearing it up in the master's cross scene in the midwest all year.  Including today's State Championship win he has went 9 wins in 11 races!  The 2 non-wins were a 2nd place, and a DNF due to a mechanical.  That's some solid riding,...

I awoke at 6:30 on Thanksgiving morning to the sound of rain.  I checked the radar and saw that we were going to be doused for at least the next 2 hours.  That was a problem as I had a group ride set up for 8:00 with up to...
