I’m obsessed with Twitter. I think about it morning, noon and night. I dream about it, I read about it, I listen to podcasts about it, it’s an extension of who I am. Kind of sick yes, but very awesome at the same time.
The Warrior Society’s 2008, Traverse Race had riders such as Tinker Juarez attending…
One of our local Clubs, Team Velocity raced and here are the results:
The Warrior’s Society Traverse Ride Saturday, June 7, 2008 turned into an epic race! It was around 44 miles from Black Star Canyon to Trabuco Canyon Road and included blistering heat and steep climbs that caused 37 DNFs.
Velocity was well represented as all four of our riders finished. Amazing in itself as the heat was brutal. Dalton got 3rd in Expert, Gibson a 3rd in his category. Baldewin looked fresh -like he cruised around the loop- came in for a 10th and Williams took 4th.
Great Job from the Mountain Bike Division of Team
Velocity. I am inspired to ride my bike on the loop

If you’re not doing anything this weekend head down to Dana Point for the Dana Point Grand Prix. If I was in town Carter and I would head down to watch.
I heard their’s a chance that the mighty Sheek of Team Outside All Day racing may make an appearance. If he shows, make sure to get his autograph. I heard they go for big bucks on eBay.

Matt Smart has recently turned Dave and I onto Competitorradio.com. Dave is now falling asleep listening to them. I fall asleep next to my wife Julie and Dave falls asleep snuggling his cross bike. One isn’t better than the other, just different.
Competitorradio.com interviews Tyler Farrar about the trials and tribulations of life as a professional cyclist. Tyler Farrar is on Team Slipstream-Chipotle and just finished racing in the classics in Europe after two injury plagued seasons. He is very candid about the trials and tribulations that go with spending your life as a professional bike racer. We look forward to seeing him at the Tour de France come July.
While sitting in my chair on this gloomy Memorial Day watching the Giro d’Italia on Versus and browsing the brand new Rock Racing Clothing Store I began day dreaming about my vacation this week (longest sentence ever). Julie, Carter, Alison, Alex, Susan, Randy and I are all heading over to Kauai for a few days of RNR.
With all of the cycling I’m pouring into my brain (road for 90 minutes this morning) I started researching bike rentals on the island. Kauai Cycle has a full high end bike rental program! Heaven has come down to earth in the form of riding bikes on vacation. I’m brining all my gear over with. I don’t know if I’ll rent a road bike or mountain bike. Maybe Julie will give me a pass to do both!
Along with the rides Alex, Alison and I will do some running if my freakin feet allow. I’ll post pictures of the ride/rides in between reading, swimming, eating sushi and napping. You can see how sweet my sun burn is!
