Background and Old Position: Up until 2017, I spent many years testing and fine tuning my aero position. I was pursuing record; records where set-up details matter a lot. I documented a lot of this in prior posts. However, I stopped riding the position I had put so much time into refining a few years…
I hadn’t been on a velodrome in 4 years. I hadn’t raced in nearly as long as taking some time off turned out longer and while it’s a story for another day it’s been a long 2 years working to return to form. Here I was at masters track nationals in Trexlertown Pennsylvania again about…
There’s tremendous gratification in working with a wide range of athletes from brand new recreational cyclists to champion Ironman triathletes. This is one of my favorite parts of what I do. However, every once in a while, I get a different opportunity and that is what happened when working with Gert Fouche – one of…
Wouldn’t it be nice if your coach could ride your Ironman with you and guide your pace all day? Well, in effect, they can. Perfect Ironman pacing is available with the latest power meters and software. Take your coach with you on race day through power meter pacing! Once you have us install a new…
Myles Standish State Forest Race Report – 40+ and 123 I’ve done this race a number of times and it always draws a crowd. The scenic State Park roads are closed off during the event so there’s no yellow-line rule and we can feel like pros for a day using the whole road. The course…
This is a beautiful 12.5 mile loop course in south Connecticut. We signed up to race 6 laps for 80-miles, but they cut a loop out when the start was delayed. Ben Koyle and I would start the race with nearly 70 riders for the now 68-mile race. There are back to back 200-foot small…
Dean’s 2018 Chris Hinds Race Report: P123 and 40+ Chris Hinds is one of my favorite races. What’s not to love about a flat 0.9-mile course with gentle turns, no hills, and lots of wind? I’d race the 123 race and then 40+ race after an hour break to open the season. I can now…
You’ve done all the training, made all the sacrifices, all the work is done, it’s race morning, you’re nervous, you walked around the day before surrounded by 2000 other athletes who literally make you feel like you’re not prepared enough, the fittest looking age group athletes on the planet mixed in with body types that…
As the opportunity to race the 3K Pursuit on what’s recognized as possibly the fastest track in the world approached, I made sure to bring the fastest setup I could. I wanted to make sure that the only thing between myself and my fastest time was, well, myself! Frame The most noticeable change from my…
My “Relentless Pursuit of Cycling Aerodynamics” articles chronicle my journey in recent years to beat the Masters World Record for the 3km pursuit event. I have come close to the record before; I missed by 0.7 seconds last fall at Masters Track Worlds. When I was recently invited to a special “record attempt” event at…
The 64-mile hilly Quabbin road race was last on my Spring race schedule. I drove out with Ben Koyle, and we’d meet teammates Eric Magnuson and Tom Dodge in the field. Team Fit Werx was 4 riders strong – our biggest masters showing yet. The plan was similar to earlier races, I wanted to help…
It is April 12, 2017 and I’m about to aero test the latest Felt TA FRD, reportedly the fastest track frame in the world. I’ll be riding dozens of 30mph laps around the Velo Sports indoor velodrome in Carson, California. I was personally invited by Felt, as the only retailer representative, to test the bike…
