Hey all, I'm loving to hear about more newbies on the scene. Welcome all! One thing I'd like to point out the Nor-Cal scene offers a lot of clinics in the...
gotta agree with the "C" class plan unless you're absolutely sure you can race B. Last year I was coming off a great season racing a different, endurance...
FWIW, I'm a mid-pack cat 4 and sport (mtn bike) master and I skipped the C's and raced senior B last season, and I felt fine in that field. Forty five minutes...
Hey All, Just went and saw a new film titled An Inconvenient Truth. It's a documentary that follows a man who delivers a presentation on climate change all...
This film is just getting into wider distribution. Even with the very low number of screens (77) it's now 9th on the box office. It's going up against movies...
Someone always wants to limit the discourse.... What the heck, it's still off-season. And nobody is being rude (yet). Besides, just because we race bicycles...
Look at it this way, cyclocross will only get harder if global warming increases. I don't think any of us want that, regardless of politcal persuasion. JK...
Anyone itching to get out and ride in the dirt? I'm in Sunnyvale and will have a bit more free time on my hands now that little league is finishing up. Frank...
... I did Sunday's CCCX mountain bike race down in Seaside, and it was on many of the same trails as the CCCX cyclocross races. In fact I saw a couple stealth...
Sorry to respond with my tongue in my cheek, but the same people who po-poo'd " "Fahrenheit 9/11" will also ignore this film. For that reason alone I need to...
No prob. I'm looking forward to seeing the film. I'm from Marin originally and I'm in Fresno now. Pretty small CX community here, pretty much me I think. We...
Clu, There's more than just you, no? I think there was a night race last year that a few of briefly considering coming out for. You can get them to join our...
Clu: I'm in Fresno... well in the redneck village to the Northeast anyway. I'd be interested in joining you sometime. As of right now, I'm not really racing...
So that last response I sent, I didn't realize it was to this group. And I thought afterwards, you know, cyclocross won't be around to share with your kids if...
I was there racing my CX bike in the beginners and won by a pretty good margin but my "arms" aka shocks were sore the day after from the abuse they took but...
I am slow, let me get that out of the way. I raced B last season, mid-pack. I have a coach, and I want to get faster. Last season was my first cyclocross...
hi morgan, at a coach's recommendation in the past, i've stopped mtb racing in mid may after 24hoa, rested until june 1, and then done all base june and july....
W(ho)TF does 4.5 months of base for amateur cyclists? If you are doing this for fun and your coach and you can't see eye to eye, perhaps you need a new coach. ...
why not just race r0ad until the 1st dfl as base? seems pretty conventional.just curious, evan ... cyclists? ... can't see eye to eye, ... coach, just a smart...
That's a lot of base work. I take time off after cross but I continue to ride but I don't any structured training after cross is over. Then, sometime in...

Well, Let me first say, I am self coached. I read a lot of books/ articals and talk to lots of people to absorb information. I pay close attention to what my...
... Yeah, sounds good to me! The rub is that this guy I pay for advice tells me to do the entirely opposite thing. Almost every reply I've gotten has sided...
Over the last few years, I have switched over to cross being my season, with a few RR for training. I find that I can carry some fitness over from cross with...
