Chileno Valley Grasshopper
The second installment for the Grasshopper Series was Chileno Valley. By far one of the tougher hoppers each year. Besides the 80 miles and 8,000 ft of climbing, there is also an incredible amount of wind. This year was no exception.
Race time was set for 10am. At 9:50am they had us stage up and get ready. It was exciting to see Levi there and in his new kit. All 200 rides started to...

Sunday spin
Some of the boys went out this morning for the usual 4 hour Sunday jam. Kevin and his buddy Jacob joined Naveen, Joe, and David Bangor (Chica Sexy) for what turned out to be a pleasant day on the bike (although almost any time you’re on the bike with friends is pleasant!).

First race done and dusted.
It was nice to have that feeling of racing again. Like people always say, you can train all you want, but race pace is tough to simulate.

I decided that I’d jump right into the season and do 2 races - the Elite 3’s and the P1/2/3 two hours later. I had...

70 miles down, 32 to go!
This past weekend marked the first official team rides of Freewheel-BRITEsport, a new team for the 2012 season. On Saturday, 5 of the 7 riders set out for a pleasant, long ride up north from the city. After our 100+ mile ride up around Point Reyes and Marshall, we met up at one of our favorite spots in the inner Richmond, Genki Ramen.
The next day we made our way down South and traversed the...
