  • 58 year old bike shop owner and former endurance mtb racer. The former has negatively impacted the latter for too long now, I've made the commitment to put in the time to regain my endurance, looking at gravel racing this time around.

  • I agree with pretty much everything said here, one thing I will add is to replace your shoes regularly. Over time the cushioning wears out and they will no longer protect your joints, staying injury free should be your number one goal. I also find that running with someone helps to keep me motivated and provides some…

I have a half marathon in April that I am training for, and a 60 mile gravel bike race in June. I'd also like to drop another ten pounds, but that is more in support of the…

That is changing this year, I'm trying to both ride more and harder, and I'm training for a 5K in mid May, and hope to…

One of my favorites is brussel sprouts tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic then roasted in the oven until they are soft. If I…
