Building my calendar
December 14th, 2011 
ChrisAV2 I started building my racing season for 2012. I am again focusing my training around endurance racing, but I have also added some cross country races in there too. They will force me to get in some of those high intensity speed workouts. I am also adding in a few centuries and some double centuries. [...]
Seven, Sept, Siete , Sette
December 13th, 2011 ChrisAV2 So, my Sette might be nearing the end of its life. It had a good run. I was riding last weekend up Skyline.

Tahoe Sierra 100
August 23rd, 2011 ChrisAV2 So, I haven’t been keeping up to date, I know. It’s the same story week after week. But….enough about that. Onto the race report…… The race started out with a trip to San Francisco. I left on Saturday morning and stopped by the Hearst Castle to check it out, since I had never been. Pretty [...]
