The Big Sur Half Marathon on Monterey Bay is nearing sellout capacity more than a month before the event date of Sunday, November 9. An increase in the number of runners and walkers registered from 5,000 to this year’s limit of 5,800 is expected to produce a record field at the event’s sixth presentation. Additional smaller fun runs for kids and families are scheduled for Saturday, November 8, and an expanded two-day Health and Fitness Expo is planned for November 7 and 8.
The popularity of the half marathon distance and the ongoing success of the Big Sur Half Marathon race prompted race organizers to increase the field by nearly 1,000 participants. A slightly-altered route will allow for wave starts, ensuring the course is runner-friendly throughout the entire race. The half marathon course begins in downtown Monterey, runs through historic Cannery Row, and along the scenic Monterey Bay coastline in Pacific Grove. The out-and-back course finishes near Monterey’s Fisherman’s Wharf with post-race festivities at the Custom House Plaza. Runners are expected from all 50 states as well as 10 additional countries.
The Run Forrest Run 5K sponsored by Bubba Gump, previously held concurrently with the half marathon, is being moved to Saturday to help lessen congestion on Sunday’s half marathon course. Now, Saturday will hold the JUST RUN! Just Kids 3K and the Run Forrest Run 5K, at 8 and 9 a.m. respectively on a course that travels from Cannery Row to the Pacific Grove oceanfront and back again, followed by family fun and entertainment on Cannery Row.
“Our goal is to create an entire running festival for all age groups,” states Wally Kastner, race director for the Big Sur International Marathon. “With everything from a kids’ 3K to a 13.1 mile half marathon, we offer something for everyone.”
A USATF sanctioned and certified half marathon course, the event is expected to again draw a large field of elite runners. Last year’s men’s second place winner, Michael Aish of New Zealand is confirmed, along with a half dozen professional runners. A field of more than 20 elites including Jeff Magallanes, Heather Gibson, Brooke Wells, Mary Coordt, Christine Kennedy, Elissa Reidy and others are expected to compete in the event.
The Big Sur Health and Fitness Expo has been expanded to two days, held on Friday, November 7, from noon to 6 p.m. and Saturday, November 8 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. More than 40 vendors will be showcasing their fitness, nutrition, footwear, apparel and race information products.
Major sponsors of the Big Sur Half Marathon on Monterey Bay include Saab, Asics, Runners World, Rabobank, Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, Granite Construction, KSBW and JetBlue.

On Sunday, my sister in-law Alison competed in the 2008 Orange County Triathlon. Alison killed it, 11th in her age group and 361 overall including the dudes. She looked strong the entire time and you could tell her hard work had paid off. Carter and I rode around in the Burley chasing Alison along course where ever we could while Julie hung with Landon back at the start/finish. Alison had around 10 people cheering her on at all time.
Breakaway Training athlete, Beth Gerdes was the first woman to cross the finish line. While I was standing at the bike transition Beth came tearing in and a bunch of the men hanging out said, “how does she get up and go that fast!?” She was hauling out of T2.

My favorite podcast on the planet is back with a brand new episode. I hope Fitz can inspire you to get outside with the incredible way he tells stories! It inspires me every time I listen.

No Car No Problem
A 1,200-foot rock wall in a wilderness area – that’s standard summer fare. In a day and back before dinner? Sounds easy. Without a car? That’s when my climbing partners stopped returning my phone calls.
Even with growing environmental pressures and climbing gas prices, we’ll drive hundreds of miles to exist in landscape devoid of gridlock and angry horns. The irony can be hard to ignore. Recreating without a car might seem impossible, but this summer I set out to test the preconceived notion. What happens when you find yourself trapped in the Urban Jungle? You blaze your way out.

The new Electronic Shimano Dura-Ace is one of the most impressive pieces of product developed for 2009. This is going to be one of the most important developments in cycling that will take equipment to a whole new world. After the long drive back home the Outsideallday group has decided we absolutely need the new Electronic Dura-Ace.
However, we were not the only people excited or obsessive about the new Dura-Ace as there were hordes of people around the sample bike all day waiting for their turn to ride, photograph, and drool over this shifting progression.
The best way to explain to people the feeling of the new Dura-Ace electronic shifting is by comparing it to the electronic hand towel dispensers in public restrooms, as you place your fingers in front of the shifters and start to apply pressure (very minimal amounts) the shifters begin to work. They just shift up or down as you please and their is no finessing the chain into a gear. This system is going to take some great mechanic skills otherwise it will shift as asked whether that is into a gear or between two gears.
Regardless, this is amazing new gear for cycling.

Bamboo Bike Maker Grows His Frames, Bonsai Style
By Leander Kahney
September 25, 2008
LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Bike maker Craig Calfee has found a way to grow bicycle frames in a field, with sunlight and water. He makes them out of bamboo. “It’s like bonsai basically,” said Calfee, who is based in Santa Cruz, California. “If you grow it in the shape you want it, it’s by far the strongest way to get it in the shape you want it.” He’s been making bamboo bikes for awhile now, but because each bicycle is made to order, his workshop can turn out only limited numbers of the $2,700 frames.

From: Cyclocross Magazine
Katie Compton (Spike Shooter) and Ryan Trebon (Kona) beat the heat, their toughest competition of the year, and the hype and distraction of Lance Armstrong’s attendance to win the second annual Cross Vegas UCI C1 race.
Compton, after a successful mountain bike season this summer which included the short track national championship, started her first ‘cross race of the year tonight, and left off just where she ended her U.S. campaign in Kansas City last December - with a win. The hot and dry course through thick grass favored a powerful rider, and Compton quickly distanced herself from the field, with only two Luna riders in tow: Katerina Nash and Georgia Gould. Gould crashed after tripping on a barrier on the third lap, and Compton gassed it, permanently dropping the Luna-sponsored American.
Georgia Gould trips on cyclocross barrier at Cross VegasUpfront, Nash and Compton pulled away, with Compton doing most of the work but looking very comfortable. But entering the last few turns, Nash was in command, leading Compton until taking the second to last turn a bit wide. That left the door open for Compton to get by and take her first Cross Vegas win. Gould kept her position to finish fifth.
In the men’s race, most of the pre-race attention was not on the world-class ‘cross riders assembled in Vegas for the first UCI C1 race of the year, but on the former world-class Tour de France rider Lance Armstrong’s (Livestrong) last-minute appearance. Flying straight from New York City, Armstrong used Cross Vegas as another step in his comeback from retirement.
Early in the race, a group of 15 riders quickly formed a lead pack, while Armstrong, starting from the fourth row, moved up quickly through the field and threatened to join the leading group until a hard crash caused him to lose time. Tim Johnson (Cannondale - Cyclocrossworld.com), Jonathan Page (Planet bike), Geoff Kabush (Litespeed - Maxxis), Adam Craig (Giant), Todd Wells (GT) and Trebon all traded attacks, but in what Trebon would describe as “negative racing”, nobody was really willing to work together to make a gap stick.
Adam Craig Endo Over the Bars - Cross Vegas 08Craig surged to the front with four laps to go, and entering the barriers in the lead, he attempted to bunnyhop them and went over the bars. Page attempted his own attack, but it was matched by the others. With a lap and a half to go, Trebon finally took control, accelerating around a corner and quickly gapping the big group. Johnson and then Page gave chase, but Page’s earlier effort had cost him, as he couldn’t bridge to Johnson. Craig, recovering from the time lost from his bunnyhop crash, passed Page and set off in pursuit of Trebon and Johnson. But everyone had left it too late. The long straightaways and thick grass were to Trebon’s strength, and the powerful rider would continue to put time into Johnson and beat him by nearly 10 seconds at the finish to defend his last year’s title.
Armstrong, after a strong start, faded as the laps wore on and finished outside the top 20. Check back soon for full report, photos, and videos.

This was the best race I have ever seen… Kabush off the front, then Page, Trebon, attack after attack for miles.

Yesterday was my first ever cyclocross race. I think I’m hooked. Sorry for all the vanity shots in the photo gallery, I’ll have to train the family take more general shots next time. After the race a dude came up to me and told me how awesome my family was for cheering so much. Thanks to Julie, Carter, Landon, Alison, Alex, Dave and my mom for the on course love.
The 35 minute race went 42 minutes for me. My average heart rate was 176 with a max of 186, that’s way faster than I imagined I could hold.

Life has been a little hectic lately and blogging has taken the back burner for the last 30 days. My world revolves around family and work and the rest is getting pushed aside. Our newest, Landon turned 30 days old today. Most of the time he’s great but sometimes he’s a pain in my neck. I’ve figured out a trick to calm him down when he is screaming bloody murder in my ear. I place him in the Baby Bjorn and bounce on the exercise ball for as long as necessary. I’m not sure if his is helping my core and my back is killing me!
Speaking of core, the boy’s at Amateur Endurance have an incredible article with full pictures up on a daily stretching routine that looks really legit.
As noted in my last article on the (debatable) benefits of stretching, I stretch on a near daily basis to keep things loose. My daily stretch routine usually takes me about 30 minutes, and I try to do it shortly before bed in a quiet room with minimal noises to help relax me before hitting the pillow.

Spots are filling up in Monterey for the sixth presentation of the Big Sur Half Marathon on November 9th 2008. As of today my wife and I are heading up on the 8th with 7 other racers and their families. It will be a blast. Join us.
Early this past week I found myself hammering out miles on a tread mill at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa. 6 miles in one room can seem like forever at race pace. Late in the week I was weaving along the Rio Grande finishing up my weekly mileage. I am determined to hold work at bay while I train for Big Sur.
Many thanks are due to Bosque Youth Conservation Corp who manage the Middle Rio Grande Ecosystem. While I was putting in the trial of miles early Friday morning I was grateful to each of you for your work on the Ecosystem. THANKS.
Focused on my cadence while riding the mountain bike and nearing the top of Palos Verdes back here in LA on Saturday morning James Reilly slowed as he was passing me to offer words of encouragement. Twenty minutes later I had invited him to Tinley’s Extreme Tri in early October and he had shared his knowledge of the trails around PV. Thanks James for sharing your passion about riding.

Many thanks to Matt F. and Tracie S. and Matt F. at Rock N’ Road Cyclery. The above pic shows me a few hours after my late evening purchase of a Specialized Epic. Matt went out of his way to make sure I had all the info I needed to make a good decision on my new bike. And when I got down to Mission Viejo Tracie was phenomenal. When it comes to bike shop staff I have super high standards. I spent time in high school working in one and a family friend managed another. Those two experiences have left me with high expectations for service and quality gear. When I showed up Tracie was super friendly, understanding and generous with her time. And the bike was ready to go as promised. Andy B. showed up shortly after with our new Outside All Day kit and I raced back to the South Bay to ride PV. The Epic is just that. Yesterday the mail came and with it a thank you letter from Tracie for making the drive down and choosing them to purchase a bike. Wow.

Mountain Bike Racing is not dead it’s getting better…
Scott Tedro’s Call To Action: If You Want A US Race Series, Now Is The Time To Act
From: Scott Tedro/Sho-Air Intl.
“At the end of July several key industry teams, riders and management approached Team Sho-Air with a request for us to take over the now defunct National Mountain Bike Series. We recognized this request as an honor and challenge from the mountain bike community. Since then I have taken the necessary steps to produce a working model for the United States Cup in 2009. I have invested countless hours and extensive financial resources to ensure that America can have the National Unified Pro/Am mountain bike series in 2009 that not only does the community deserve, but that you asked for.”
“In the past two months I have personally traveled to Colorado Springs to meet with USA Cycling President Steve Johnson and his staff, I have received their support and guidance. I have worked hard to achieve support and commitments from event organizers of top venues to join the series “Sea Otter, Fontana, and Mt. Snow” etc. I have worked with the UCI to insure all events are in scripted at the highest level in order to provide maximum point payout for our Pro riders, and I have worked with various industry expert service providers and promoters to take this series from concept to blueprint for success. I have presented you with the turn key solution you requested, and I am willing to take it from blueprint to execution should you choose to support it.”
WHAT OUR INDUSTRY CAN DO
“Now we need commitment from the industry itself. The series will include extensive plans for marketing to create excitement and attendance. I highly recommend that you reach out to each other and challenge each other to support this endeavor. If we just get five manufacturers to come together for a modest racing investment, we can pull off the best racing series the US has ever seen and re-ignite the passion for racing and pro riders in the US. We can make this happen.”
“The reality is this: If Team Sho-Air does not have the pledged, written financial commitment from the necessary industry leaders/teams by September 19th, 2008, all efforts on the series will cease. I am, at the request of several of you willing to extend that date until October 3rd. I have also been requested to make myself available to any and all interested for a meeting at the USA Cycling booth during Interbike. Please contact Kelli Lusk at USA Cycling to confirm a date and time to meet.”
“Please take action now and contact me with your written commitment and or contact Kelli Lusk to confirm your involvement at Interbike. It was at your urging that I took on the task of creating the United States Cup; now I request your backing. Imagine what racing in the US can be again. Let’s make this happen.”

Riders to Watch in the First Cyclocross Showdown of the Season
Cross Vegas 08
With a short week to go the field is almost set for the first cyclocross showdown of the season at CrossVegas. Both the men’s and women’s field will feature strong fields of competitors including many riders just off of a summer of racing including the Beijing Olympic Games and the just concluded Tour of Missouri.
CrossVegas takes place Wednesday September 24 at the Desert Breeze Soccer Complex in Las Vegas located a few miles from the famous “Vegas Strip.” Timed to take place during the Interbike trade show, CrossVegas attracted over 5,000 spectators in its first year in 2007.
The evening of racing kick off with the “Alpha Q Wheelers and Dealers Race” featuring bicycle industry participants vying for bragging rights in categories that include media, manufacturer, retailer, distributor and advocacy.
In the “Scott USA Elite Men’s Race” look for inaugural CrossVegas winner Ryan Trebon to bring his always strong form to Las Vegas where he will line up with fellow Kona strongman Barry Wicks. The duo used their collective strength last year to set up Trebon’s last lap attack that took him to victory.
Just a few of the others on the start line will be:
- Jonathan Page, silver medalist in the 2007 world championships now racing for the Planet Bike team
- Tim Johnson and Jeremy Powers of the Cyclocrossworld.com Team, both coming from strong performances in the Tour of Missouri will be
- Craig Adams of Team Giant and Todd Wells of GT who are coming off of Beijing Olympic racing
- Tony Cruz of the BC Racing Team who just completed a strong road season that included the Tour of Missouri
Of special note is Thomas Frishknecht of the Scott-Swisspower Team who will be competing in the final event of his 19-year career. Frischknecht has selected CrossVegas as his final race in the U.S. with longtime sponsors Scott USA and Ritchey Design pitching in to throw a farewell celebration that promises to be unforgettable.
The “Scott USA Elite Women’s Race” will be without a returning champion with the retirement of Lyne Bessette but the talent pool will be just as deep. Katie Compton of the Spike Shooter team finished 2nd in the 2007 race and promises to start the new season equally strong.
Other riders to watch include:
- Luna Women’s Team riders Katerina Nash and Georgia Gould, finished 3rd and 4th last year and should be eager to challenge Compton for the top step of the podium
- Wendy Simms cracked the top ten in 2007 and should be eager to climb up the ranking
New to CrossVegas this year is the Double Down at Mandalay Bay award that will recognize those riders with a vacation prize for the top men and women riders who compete in both CrossVegas the USA CRITS Finals scheduled the next night.
CrossVegas is owned by Cross Partners LLC, a Boulder Colorado based group headed by Chris Grealish and Brook Watts that stages international cyclocross events including CrossVegas. 2008 Sponsors include Alpha Q, Scott USA, Yakima, Clif Bar, Challenge Tires, TRP, Dale’s Pale Ale, VeloNews, Qdoba Mexican Grill, Vermarc and Clark County Parks Department.
