More Canton Videos

I put the rest of the Canton footage up. There's not too much excitement there, although various people you might know get some extended face time. I added the "script" after each video so you can jump around to whatever you want to see... and I also edited out the sections with no one behind me.



Lap 2/3 cast of characters:
Josh J
Soren Klingsporn (DKNY crash dude)
Pete bradshaw (Hybrid bike dude)
P-V-B
Todd Rowell (crashed in front of me)
Scott Dolmat-Connell (Metlife dude)



Laps 4-7 cast:
Scott Dolmat-Connell
Pete Smith (Cambridge bikes)
Cort
Robbie King softpedaling (Rite Aid kit)
Robbie King smoking us
Brian Hughes (blue fastsplits kit)
Guenter Hofer (at the very end)

I'm in Toronto this week, the flying home to race on the weekend, then flying to Los Angeles (out of Albany so I can race Wicked Creepy) for the next week, then back for the Noho VERGE. This will be by fifth week on the road in the last 10.

So I'm just saying, if my form falls off a cliff at some point, I won't be especially surprised.

I you race poorly it will be because you suck, and you should sell all your bike stuff and sit on the couch.

my 2 cents.

"Todd Rowell (crashed in front of me)"

Heh. At least I apologized as I was sliding out!

If you can crash behind me in the future it will make for much better footage -- see 3:00 in the Lap 1 video for proof.

The only way you can even tell there's a crash in the video is hearing me nail the brakes and then seeing you get up.

Oh good, you were able to tell what I was trying to say. It seemed like for the first 3 laps all I did was chase you around, and every time I'd catch your group you'd ride off the front of it and I'd be back to chasing.

Kept me moving up, though -- lap times were 9:00,8:50,8:39 for the first 3 laps... so thanks for that I guess.

Yeah, uh ... not if I can help it. What you need to ask yourself is: what were you doing behind an old dude who was in his second race, anyway? Don't you know that's the wrong wheel to suck?

Then again ... Dan Coady. I'll shut up now.

Man, I have been beaten by so many "old dudes in their second race" this year it's not even funny. Kevin Hines is fourty-freaking-eight and he still puts minutes on me in race #2. Oh how it hurts.

Do-It-Yourself March Cycling Blog Post

So, are you a cyclist? Do you have a blog? If you answered "yes" to both of these questions, I hope you've already written your March Training Blog Post . You know what I'm talking about. To make it easier for those of you who haven't yet written the required cycling-blogger March Training Post , here is a handy template. Just cut and paste the text and then choose whichever option from the brackets [option1|option2], or add in the details [something vague] for whatever fits your training more accurately, and BAM, blog post DONE! Early Spring Training Post Template Just a [quick|surprisingly detailed] update about how training is going this year, in case any of the [joke about small number of readers] care. This week I've done [15 hours|30 hours] in the saddle, [getting up at 4 am|returning after 8pm] each time. It's been pretty chilly out there-- 5 below [celsius|fahrenheit] when I [started|finished] yesterday, but I'm toughing it out because ...

Sam Anderson Cheats at Mountain Bike Racing

Note that this is NOT the 24 Hours of Great Glen   Race Report. 24HOGG delivered another AMAZING race weekend that reminded me how much I love this event and why it keeps going strong in its 19th year, long after the 24-hour craze of the 90s has faded.  I will be back in 2015, and you should be too! ---- update:  I made a second post  that answers some questions and has some more info. The only individual prizes you can get at a team 24 hour race are the "Fastest Lap" and "Fastest Night Lap" prizes. If you're a serious racer (which most people at this race AREN'T), you pay attention to this stuff. Back when I used to do the race on the Back Bay Team, we'd fight over who got to ride 2nd because it was the "hot lap spot" -- the first rider on the course who didn't have to do the Le Mans start. This was better than going 3rd or 4th on your team because lapped traffic quickly started appearing -- your best bet at taking "fastest ...

US Cyclocross Nationals Travesty Report: Junior Girls

Note:  if you're a USA Cycling representative or Austin 2015 representative, and want to add a comment, rebuttal, fact, or perspective to this discussion, feel free to email me at colin.reuter@gmail.com and I'll post it here verbatim.  I fully accept that I wasn't there and don't know every issue that may have contributed to the decisions that were made.  There may be an explanation for these events that I am not aware of, and if so, I would love to hear it. Important Facts Update and Hyperbole Correction - The Junior Girls 15-16 race was supposed to be 30 minutes long, so the 7 girls who made it 2 laps were not "pulled" from the race, they were removed from the course after the finished their race.  Without firsthand testimony it's impossible to know how clear they were on their race duration being 2 laps shorter than the boys race happening simultaneously -- based on Turner Ramsey's quote to Cyclocross Magazine, it was certainly not a straightforwa...
