My buddy Rich from Fluid Recovery Drinks sent me this note from Marty, team manager for RideClean (Fluid has been a RideClean sponsor for several years). RideClean depends on Fluid Recovery to survive back to back race days and stay on the top of their game! Marty’s note was a thank you to all of the team sponsor’s who helped them have a successful 2009 Tour of Utah.

RideClean was the only amateur team represented in the break that formed and stayed away for 60 miles in Stage 2 of the Tour of Utah. The team also had the top amateur finisher after 6 grueling days in the saddle.

Pro teams in the break that formed off these attacks you see in this picture (with Pro Budgets we might add!) were:

BMC, BISSELL, LAND ROVER, FLY V, GARMIN, TEAM TYPE 1

And of course – RideClean.

Thank you for all the support you provide the team in the form of product and monetary sponsorship. This enables us to bring a high-level of visibility to a positive attitude toward Clean Sport.

Sincerely,

Marty R. – RideClean Cycling Team

The Wall Street Journal
By ANJALI ATHAVALEY

When Heather McKibbon’s bike was stolen in May, she didn’t just get angry. She decided to get it back.

The 29-year-old project manager at a Toronto consulting firm alerted people to the theft through the social-networking site Facebook. Just hours later, a friend replied with a link to a bike for sale that looked like her own $1,300 Cannondale touring bike on eBay’s Kijiji, an online classified-ads site. Ms. McKibbon recognized her bike and, posing as an interested buyer, arranged to meet the seller at a local subway station. She brought the police along as well, resulting in a small-scale sting operation.

Police arrested the man and returned the Cannondale to Ms. McKibbon, who claimed it with photos of herself on the bike, as well as its serial number. “It was a little overwhelming to realize that nobody in Toronto gets their stolen bike back, and here I was about to get my stolen bike back,” she says.

Ms. McKibbon is one of a growing number of bike-theft victims who are using bike blogs and social-media sites such as Twitter to take matters into their own hands. These grassroots efforts come as bike theft rises in cities and college campuses around the U.S.

San Diego saw a 45% increase in reported bike thefts in the first half of this year from a year earlier. The police station covering the central part of downtown Los Angeles has seen a 72% increase in stolen-bike reports so far this year, the city’s police department says. Austin and Philadelphia have seen increases for the past two years. The incidence of theft is likely even higher, cycling advocates say, because many victims don’t bother reporting bike thefts.

The reasons for the theft boom are complex, including population growth in some locales, but generally, more people are biking these days—and they are riding pricier bicycles. Also, the economic downturn is contributing to the increase.

Finish the story here.

In the coming weeks Tyler Hamilton will be launching personal cycling coaching and training advice for athletes. On Thursday morning Tyler and I had a conference call to discuss his upcoming training program. Tyler is currently in Massachusetts setting up his coaching business. Tyler is creating a user friendly setup considering his competition this is a welcome change. No one needs a dozen training levels. Hamilton’s program will not have a start-up fee or six-month pre-charge. Do some home work on this topic and you will see this is rare. Also, a majority of the big names in training have a team of coaches that coach the less expensive athletes. We both wondered out loud how many racers are being trained by low Category racers.

Earlier in the week Tyler had asked for the type of program I was looking for and what type of structure I was seeking. In a rather lengthy exchange I told him of what I dream of in an ultimate online coaching program. I went on and on about creating community and guidance but in the end it gets down to one very basic idea – feedback. I am looking for an online experience that includes feedback from a qualified source with training experience. Hamilton agreed whole-heartily. “You need someone to listen to your training and give feedback.” I explained that earlier in my swimming background I was over-trained and I watched my Dad who viewed the whole experience with great frustration. In fact, he thinks I had a lot of bad coaches in my life which is hard to argue once you are sitting in physical therapy.

You can expect more updates in the coming weeks.

A few nights ago Julie and her organic friend Melissa would to see an indy movie called Food, Inc. at Lyric Cinema Cafe in downtown Fort Collins. It really tweaked with Julie’s head and she has me thinking also about the food we feed our kids and ourselves.

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation’s food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government’s regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation’s food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won’t go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.

The Wildest Mountain-Bike Race on Earth
By Bike Snob NYC

The Single Speed World Championships is the wildest mountain-bike “race” on earth, where Halloween comes early and sobriety is akin to doping. To infiltrate this derailleurless debacle, we would need a thoroughly mediocre racer who could stomach the sight of way too much beer-addled flesh and report back.

Interview with the winners of Stage 2, Adam Campbell and Aaron Heidt of Canada.

Stage 2 Report from the 2009 GORE-TEX TransRockies Run
August 24th, 2009
Runners go Straight up and Down on Stage 2
Vicksburg-Twin Lakes/10.1 miles/3098 feet climbing

There’s a well-polished chestnut of wisdom which goes “different courses for different horses”; meaning what suits one person won’t necessarily be right for the next one. Stage 2 of the 2009 GORE-TEX® TransRockies Run proved that it still holds true with shake-ups at the top of the podium in three of the categories and winning gaps of less than 35 seconds in three divisions. Stage 2 was a short sharp climb up over 3000 feet from Vicksburg to the peak of Hope Pass at nearly 12,600 feet above sea level before a steep and sometimes technical plunge into the hamlet of Twin Lakes. Though only 10 miles in length, the course would test runners with elevation, altitude, a cold river crossing and the possibility of severe weather above the tree line.

A few months back I was racing Short Track at New Belgium and discovered a new brand, Jett MTB. They were displaying and selling their line of mountain bike gloves. Of course, I had to pick up a pair of the super sweet white ones.

After several rides and several compliments on the gloves, I contacted Jett and started a relationship with Josh Kellogg, they are local in Fort Collins, CO. He wanted to work together. So here we are, Jett is now officially our partner. I love it!

Last week my new North Face trail running shoe came in. I went with the ULTRA 104 GTX XCR®. As I reviewed the catalog and considered my messed up foot, this shoe made the most sense. I need a reliable, comfortable, protective and rugged shoe. This is it. Can’t wait to get them dirty!

ULTRA 104 GTX XCR®

*Click the photo of the shoe above for more information.

The Ultra 104 GTX XCR is the most rugged, protective, stable trail-running shoe bolstered with waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex® to tackle the season’s most heinous trails. For trail runners who always push their limits, and require a technical, supportive shoe to see them through the thick of things, these will take you to places you previously thought were inaccessible.

Don’t forget about free shipping!

Happy trails!

I’m using these as a meal replacement for lunch at work. So far so good. I really enjoy the flavor. My brother-in-law, Mr. Muscle Bryan Casserly gave me props. I think I’m on to something.

The title pretty much sums up my life. I’ve always respected Chris Carmichael as a coach, hopefully he’s a good write also

Can’t beat free shipping on Amazon!
