Boba Team Time Trial

The Fighting Bobas arrange a Team Time Trial (TTT) race in Geyserville.  It's a 16.8-mile course with some rolling hills and very little traffic.  It's a ride at your own risk kind of thing, no services offered by the Bobas, etc.  Indeed it seems like they don't even really offer timing services (ooh, burn).

Colleagues and friends from Keysight, Medtronic, and the Red Peloton cycle club  - Jon M, John S, Loren B, Nina S, Steve R, Joe F, Patrick Z, Nate B, and I - joined to form the team Clown Jewels.  Nina, Joe, Patrick and I were on full TT bikes with aero wheels and helmets.  Everyone else suffered!

Tuesday Night Twilight criterium #6

I raced Bike Monkey’s Tuesday Night Twilight series for the second time. I missed a few races while recovering from pneumonia, which I had during my first race but didn't know about.  I had a fun time, was smarter with my exertions, and finished a very close second place at 31.5mph and 766W!

  • Duration: 30 mins
  • Speed: 22.9mph avg, 31.5mph max
  • Heartrate: 174bpm avg, 196bpm max
  • Est Avg Power: 255W

Tuesday Night Twilight criterium

I raced my first criterium yesterday evening at Bike Monkey's Tuesday Night Twilight series. I had fun but was over-eager, screwed up my racing strategy, spent too much energy early, and threw away a podium spot.  I coasted over the line in something like 10th place.

  • Duration: 30 mins
  • Speed: 23.1mph avg, 31.1mph max
  • Heartrate: 176bpm avg, 194bpm max
  • Est Avg Power: 247W

24-Hour Mountain Bike Relay Race in Spokane, WA

My friend Monilee is a world-class mountain biker. I'm not. Her husband Fraser has done epic races like Trans-Rockies and Trans-Alps. I haven't been to the gym in more than three months. The two of them own six bikes, have their garage fully setup for long training rides, and are totally committed to bike racing. My bike has been in storage the last 18 months.
