This week at work I managed over 40 food deliveries for somewhere around 100 miles plus the 20 miles I commute daily. On top of that friends and I have been busy racing; Independance Valley, 327 words TT alleycat, and on the 12th is the Volunteer Park crit. About 3 weekends ago was my last real training day with 2 double centuries on the fauxie. Michael built me up an awesome wheel at Wright Brothers for this bike, which I destroyed after a couple weeks at the 327 TT alleycat. ( It’s going to be hard to tell him, he puts love into his work ). I won a wheel built by 2020 cycles at that race. Thanks guys, Dave,

Snoose Junction has sponsored our team in the Race Across Oregon including a good bicycle setup to give us an edge while raising money for the Alzheimer’s Foundation.
This is my off season trainer. I run pizza deliveries on this baby. The bike is heavy, lots of unnecessary resistance, and loads of heavy pizza on the front make all my other bikes feel super fast. Last Thursday I was able to run 15 deliveries in 3.5 hours, covering a distance of about 45 miles.
Specialized Tarmacs. Ya, they’re about the fastest bikes I have ever sat on. After melting from running deliveries all night I crawl onto one of these and climb mountains at full speed without even getting my heart rate up.
