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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
A few days ago I was reading over at http://thegoat.backcountry.com like I do every morning and discovered a new blog called TheSnaz.com. It’s a photo and video blog produced by David Gonzales and Sam Petri in Jackson Hole.
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.
