20%-grade hills, miles of trails, and plenty of traffic to dodge - you gotta love Seattle! Monday, March 5, 2012. Mason Lake #1, 2012: Still Winning Sprints on Open Pros. Is one of the standards of road bicycles, a simple but sturdy wheel - 32 spokes front and rear, more or less a "box rim," e.g. no aero. Profile. I like the ceramic ones so the rims last forever. Contrast that with the popular deeper, lighter, stiffer. Seen in amateur (and pro) racing - some costing upwards of $2,500! I got 2 nd. But hav...

cycling in seattle: December 2010
http://cyclinginseattle.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
20%-grade hills, miles of trails, and plenty of traffic to dodge - you gotta love Seattle! Wednesday, December 1, 2010. Notes From Winter Training. Well technically it's not "winter" yet, but it seems close. I got to ride in big snowflakes through the north end last week, which made me feel like Andy Hampsten on the Gavia. Barely able to see through the thick whiteness of it all. Except the snow in Seattle wasn't sticking, so it made for a nice little ride. Base 1, Week 3: 16 hours! The pattern seen in B...

20%-grade hills, miles of trails, and plenty of traffic to dodge - you gotta love Seattle! Saturday, February 26, 2011. First Race of the Season. And I'm at home. Actually the Frostbite TT. Is delayed today, if not canceled; it's all white up north around Everett and snowing lightly down here in Seattle. Training for the 2011 season, getting ready to hit the ground running in the 3's. With 2 points carried over from last year I was ready to get some more. So here I sit, thinking about how Mason Lake.

The Ballard Crit, Category 4/5's. This year I won my second race ever, The Ballard Crit Cat 3's! After upgrading last year, being hit by a car in December, and getting dropped in my first races this year, it was an extremely rough start to the season. We (Recycled Cycles/Raleigh Racing) had five guys in the cat 3 race: me, S...

This Saturday is the Recycled Cycles/Raleigh Racing's Meet the Team ride!

cycling in seattle: Ballard Criterium 2010: First Win!!

20%-grade hills, miles of trails, and plenty of traffic to dodge - you gotta love Seattle! Monday, June 7, 2010. Ballard Criterium 2010: First Win! The Ballard Twilight Crit has been on my calendar since last year. As an "A" race. That meant my whole training plan (when I had one anyway) was centered around this race. It's the atmosphere there that made it great to race there, and probably makes it an "A" race on most people's calendars too. In fact I hadn't won any. Warmed up under our team tent, a Cat ...

20%-grade hills, miles of trails, and plenty of traffic to dodge - you gotta love Seattle! Sunday, September 9, 2007. Cougar Mountain Climb, with Photos. The Cougar Mountain/Zoo climb. Is one of the Seattle-area's premier climbs. Sure, it feels great to crest Queen Anne, but how about three of those in a row? Now that's a climb. At about 1300 ft at the top, the view is pretty sweet. About 15 km later in Eastgate on Newport Way, heading towards our destination:. A short video of part of the climb:. You mi...

20%-grade hills, miles of trails, and plenty of traffic to dodge - you gotta love Seattle! Monday, March 26, 2012. North Bend Crit 2012. The last few weeks of racing have been fun, and good training too. Two Sequims (both had crashes - and they say Mason is dangerous? Neither race went all that well for me though I stayed upright. Then there was Indy Valley, which I at least made it through with the pack, unlike last year. But finally a crit came along, in March! It was great to see teammates on the fron...

Stats on the Street. Better Know a Bike Counter: Chief Sealth Trail at Thistle Street. August 14, 2015. August 17, 2015. Remember Stephen Colbert’s thrilling 434-part series. This is just like that, only with Seattle area bicycle counters. Once upon a time I wrote about the Fremont Bridge bike counter at the Seattle Bike Blog. Now SDOT publishes data from nine bike counters. Catch the previous installment here. Does Seattle’s bicycle culture extend there as well? Chief Sealth provides one opportunity for...
