It looks like Copperopolis Road Race is the only choice for us on March 22nd - what’s up with that?
I’ve done Copperopolis once, why would I need to do it again?
Come on race organisers, there is pent up demand for a good industrial park crit… ;)  Santa Rosa?

Last year at Snelling Mex made the mistake of hanging out at the back of the bunch and not paying attention to the front end of the race.  Consequently she rode three laps of the windy course with 1-2 others.  This year she was determined not to make the same mistake.

“The Bore” takes it again…
If ToC is anything to go by, please, please, please, don’t let Levi ride in Le Tour.  I can’t take 19 stages of waiting and two time trial performances followed by smug looks from the impish Levi…

Sad, I know.
Not that Clif bars aren’t good, but it comes to something when the only eating pleasure is the sweet flavours of Peanut Toffee Buzz bars.  Comparing notes with others, I know that I’m not alone.
Why is it like this?  I’ve changed my diet this pre-season, cutting most of the diary - cheese, yoghurt, […]

I’ve been wearing two long sleeve base layers since November and now I’m too scared to go out without one of them incase I get too cold.
Feel pity for me.

Ever heard of Vanderkitten? Dumb question, I know. Anyone, who is anyone has heard of VK and their top womens team.  Whilst the attention is typically hurled at Liz, there are other stronger racers just waiting to come out and play.
I had the privilege of riding with Flavia and getting to know her […]
