Course: 1.7 mile circuit- 1k downhill with a couple tight turns, followed by a gradual uphill to a “hilltop” finish

Women Cat4
1st of 50
2/21/2009
Teammates: Ashleigh Jackson
I’ve been excited about this race for a while for a couple of reasons: it’s a road race (enough crits!), and there was a full field of 50 (not to mention another full B field). Snelling, however, is a “C” race for me, so I had not tapered and was [...]

Dan Smith of Sportvelo recently hosted the 9th annual Sportvelo Winter Camp. It was 4 days of hard miles with massages, speakers, and lots of food mixed in. I was only able to attend for the two weekend days due to work, but in those days I rode upwards of 150 miles over [...]

My dad and I spent a good part of the month of September cycling with Erickson Cycle Tours in the Italian Alps, affectionately called the Dolomites.
