Hey Ladies,
I hate to bug you - but was curious if anyone living in the Torrance/Carson/Laguna/Redondo Beach area would be willing to put my husband and I up during the Elite Track Nationals held...
Hey Ladies,
I was curious if anyone in the Carson/LA area would be willing to provide host housing for my husband and I from October 3-9 for the US Track National Competition at the ADT Center in...
No, no name. But you can use my real name - Jen Triplett. :) Thanks!
Yeah! A little Bianchi love! Here's my trusty steed...1384
Great report Eden... here's my take from the 1/2/3 race.
It was somewhat chilly when I rolled up to Vance Creek - about an 1.5 hour drive south of Seattle. It was hard deciding what to wear -...
I agree - it's totally preference. I guess I'm just used to a larger platform - but some people live by speedplays - and I'm glad they work for them! Happy riding!
GO FOR IT! I find that things are best experienced by jumping in with both feet. Maybe I'm afraid I'll never do it unless I give it 110% - but unless you just go for it - you'll always wonder what...
Thanks Grog. I found them on sale - in the Ultegra version - and LOVE them. They have an excellent platform which I can feel when pulling up in the pedal stroke - essential for track and road...
Calling all racing enthusiasts.... what is your favorite pedal? Pros/cons - cost, etc.....
I've been using Time Impact pedals on all my bikes so I don't have to change shoes. (Somehow I've only...
Ahhhh... food. This was emailed to me by Kele Murdin, a domestic pro racer who just scored her first top 10 in a NRC race (National Racing Calendar). It has helped me emensely and kept me from making...
Racing is fun. I highly recommend it to those adrenaline junkies out there. :)
Most people do all three types of races - although it seems these days some specialize in one area vs. another. This...
Nice job Eden! Sounds like you had a good experience. Mine was a little different - but most importantly I was sooo happy it was sunny this weekend! Beats the snow from the previous week. And last...
Hi rthoma4,
Not sure if you're still looking for some rides out of the Seattle metro area - maybe you've found them by now. I do quite a bit of riding from Wallingford into Snohomish, Issaquah,...
There were rumors about the course being hilly before my carpool even arrived to the scene of the Independence Road Race. I should have known better considering it was part of the Washington Cup race...
Glad to hear you didn't get hurt in those near pile ups! Sounds like you had some close calls. Unfortunately crashing is part of bike racing - but hopefully things will calm down in your field so you...
Wow - how inspiring! Your last paragraph gave me chills. Thanks for sharing!
I woke up Sunday to rain and wind gusts that sounded like they were going to knock my wind chimes off the porch. Perfect conditions for the seasons first individual time trial! A true test to see...
Mason Lake races are typically known for wet pavement and cold conditions - but today we lucked out! The morning was a chilly 39 degrees, but once we started racing it warmed up significantly. It was...
Fabulous! I hope to see you there sometime!
Live in the Seattle area? Interested in getting the skinny on local womens racing? Looking for some training partners? Well here's your chance!
Starting Monday, April 3, 2006 - Northwest Women...
Nice job on the race! I have a friend who is down in your area - she rides for VeloBella and from my understanding the majority of the Pro1/2 womens field uses those races to prep for the NRC...
Usually Crits are less than a mile and are based on time rather than laps. For instance, the typical Northwest Cat 4 Women's crit will last anywhere from 20-30 minutes. Of course that time increases...
Hey Bike Momma! Long time no chat!!! How'd the race go this weekend? I can't wait to hear!
Jen
Wow - sure sounds like you have a lot on your plate! I commend you for doing it all - and still making time for yourself. Good luck with finals and your hubbie getting those better hours. How old are...
