It was a busy weekend but a really fun one. Friday was a long day at work, I was up a couple hours earlier than usual (3am) and was hoping to still be ready for the weekend. I had put some new tires on the mountain bike for Saturday morning, and after work friday I [...]
Lots going on lately, last couple weeks been squeezing in little rides whenever possible, but making them quality. I am back on the jobsite at work, so I am alot busier to say the least. The project is in Norwalk, I am up real early to get out the door, as early as I got [...]
Saw this on friend Sean Clancy‘s training log and wanted to share with anyone reading. Talking about adventure racing in particular but I found some of the thoughts pretty cool for the mentality of endurance type racing in general. Sean knows his stuff in the endurance world, always has cool tidbits of info and more [...]
A big part of my training has been improving my diet in the past 5-6 months. With alot of ideas and motivation from friends like Slater (although I could never eat 1/3 or workout 1/4 of the amount he does), James (nutrition guru to the max), and lots of other blogs and cooking sites, and [...]
Headed out on July 3rd and wanted to get some time in on the mountain bike. I headed out to Santiago Canyon solo and got going on the ride. I took alot of photos this time around and just had a good mellow ride out there. Not many people at all out, so I had [...]

What a ride with an awesome group! The plan was to go ride with Luke, James, Tom and Luke’s buddy Chris and have Luke show us the finer parts of the infamous SART (Santa Ana River) trail. I know I have wanted to ride this trail for the past year or more and finally was [...]
Well actually these arent really the reason I use Prolong, but these are damn good cycling ad/commercials. Anyways, I have tried a good amount of the energy drinks out there and this one really does top the list for me. I emailed them back in February and asked if they had a couple samples they [...]
