  3. don't you all worry im still around...

     

     

    cross has been going pretty well for me... im riding for FORT-GPOA out of PA this cross season... now that im no longer Under 23 it's been a hell of a fight at races. I have gotten a handful of UCI points so i'll be able to have an okay start at nationals. Been a bit frustrated with mechanicals though.. i have one a race for the last 5 races.. it has sucked... hope all the cutters are doing well

     

     

    ride hard

     

    cinn

  4. well i guess i have to reply.

     

    ive done about 12 races so far since the beginning of march. Most of it being collegiate racing. Ive had a few top ten finishes 6th being my best finish so far this year. But the collegiate season is over and it's time to race with the new team... Team Snow Valley. My bike is suppose to be ready in the next few weeks. pictures will be posted as soon as i get those. it's going to be along summer.. on and my girlfriend is moving in with me for the summer so that should be intressed... She's going to get a lot of "not tonight i have to ride in the morning" hahah but it should be a good experience...first time living with a girl. but training is going well

     

    joker i know how it feels when the calf cramp up... i got that a lot last season.. i have no idea why it happens or how to cure it.. but i think it's either nutrition or training... it's like i can feel them tingling and then i know when the tempo is brought up i wont have anything in me to respond...

     

     

    any who keep working on the spandex tan.... sooo hot

     

    laters

  5. it's been a long while...

     

    life for me is good, ive been getting in all my training (little more then 50 hours for feb.) My first race of the season is on sat. 15 mile TT. should hurt like hell but that's why we ride.

     

    riding with Team Snowvalley is great. the U23 team has met up twice for training rides... This summer should be a lot of fun.

     

    I'll keep everyone posted and hope all is well for everyone else out there

    Never heard of the Cuervo before. Looked online but could only find weird lookig MTB's. The GT GTB bike is pretty good as far as a track bike goes. I would put them just a tad bit higher than the Bianchi Pista. The GT seems to be better made and more responsive. Especially on the track. At least from what I remember of the few rides I had on them.

     

    Been doing lots of riding. Nothing major but still getting in a lot of hours so early in the off season. Cross racing here in town has been huge. Record numbers of people racing and spectating. I think the Nationals are going to be phenominal this year. Different course but in the same area as last year. I hope for the racers it won't be the slop it was last year. That crap was ugly...

     

    You still coming out Cinn?

     

     

    of course bro... i got one of my finals moved around so now i can go im fing stoked... im sitting like 8th right now in the U23 nationals im trying to get on that world selection team... I'm heading back up to MASS this weekend for 2 more UCI races.. it's going to be COLD.. Originalarea you going to be at the races?

     

    joker unless you want to buy a new bike and travel all over the place racing don't give cross a try you'll be as addicted as i am... im trying the reverse psychology shit

     

    i got my VO2 make done today... shit was wicked hard.. i had to do it on the treammill b/c they didn'thave it set up for the bike...i did in my exersice physiology class.. i got 69.3... for those of you who don't know what means it's pretty good... lance is at 85 greg lemond was 92.5 the average college athlete is at 55 and most elite athlets are at 75... it's promising...

     

    oh and i just singed to an U23 road team.. .WHAT WHAT.. i'll be riding on Team Snow Valley's U23 team.. first year it's together they are based out of maryland and D.C. i think... i get free bike to use and all this cool stuff.. it's going to be rad..

     

    that all

     

    remember... we fuck as hard as we ride

     

    ahahha

    later

  8. joker youre crazy man,, im racing a full cross season and i'm doing 8 to 10 hours a week. but then again a lot is recovery fromt he races or very hard intervals then rest for the race the next weekend

  9. man i wish i could train with Matt during the week... and im sure jess anthony is there too. that's what i hate about being the ONLY serious cross rider in richmond i have no one to train with. makes a big difference over the course of a season. anyway raced against all those boy over the weekend and got whooped up on... finished 25th and 26th. 4 and 5th in the U23's not great races but not bad races... my good will come

  10. steve... as long as you keep riding life will always be good... sometimes when imout there i want a motorcycle real bad

  11. OA, keep it going.. not bad for a jump from c's to b's, I'm happy your not sand baging like most people. yes jess anthony is going to be hard to beat i saw the race write up, but we are riding for the same team. not like i can help b/c i can't even hang with him

     

    did a race in DE on sat. got 4th.

     

    this is the race write up for sunday. it was sweet..i won the respect of a lot of people even though i didn't win. It was exciting. I didn't write the write up but it's pretty accuate.

     

    i'll try to find the one for sat. i have it somewhere

     

    With twenty-nine riders on the start line and the cold winds still howling across the course, the Elite Men’s race promised to be another good one. Greg Wittwer (Cyclocrossworld.com) got off the line first but carried way too much speed into the first turn, resulting in a struggle to stay on course and allowing Glenn Turner (Evolution Racing) to take the lead. Turner’s lead was short-lived as Mike Yozell (Fort/GPOA) came flying past him. Close behind Yozell was teammate Ryan Leech. With Leech doing the lion’s share of the work, the pair started increasing the distance between themselves and a group containing Wittwer, Joe Reynolds (Wissahickon) and another Fort/GPOA teammate, Gunnar Shogren. Just as everyone thought that Leech and Yozell were gone for good, Wittwer dropped into another gear, jumped away from Shogren and Reynolds and bridged to the Fort/GPOA duo up front. Not content to simply make contact, Wittwer immediately attacked again. Yozell matched his acceleration but it was too much for Leech who was unable to go with the charging duo. Yozell not only matched Wittwer’s jump, he continued to drive the pace upward, eventually riding away from the Charlottesville, Virginia rider. Behind the Yozell - Wittwer battle, Shogren and Reynolds had been joined by Greg Marini (Bike Doctor). Shogren, Reynolds and now Marini, passed a fading Leech and soon a fading Wittwer. As one spectator observed out loud “there was a whole lot of detonation taking place out there.” With only Yozell ahead of them, it became a three-way battle for second place. Reynolds started to run out of steam late in the race, leaving Marini and Shogren to fight over the order of the top three. At the end, it was Yozell racking up his second straight Evo Cross win and Marini riding in ahead of Shogren for second place. Reynolds finished behind Shogren for fourth. Fifth place was claimed by Kris Auer (Alan MidAtlantic) who passed a struggling Wittwer within sight of the finish line. Wittwer finished sixth and was also the first U-23 rider across the line.

    Hello CinnamonToastCrunch804

     

    Congrats on the podium.

    Judging by the low number on your

    jersey you're racing Elite?

    Gloucester is gonna' be real tough.

    People are already talking about it.

    McCormack is flying already, he crushed

    everyone last week. Ran the run up once.

    Rode up it every other time! Amazing!

    Hey, I got second in my first race last week.

    Leaving "C" for "B" next week.

    Good luck out there get your miles in.

    Area (T) MZ

     

     

    Hey man, yeah i race the elite races. I'll be up in Gloucester the 30th and 31st my dad made hotel reservations this past week. It's long drive for me 12+ hours but well worth it. Good to see you racing cross and moving up. You'll only get better by racing with the faster guys. good look in the upcoming races. Come out to the Gloucester and i'll meet up with you

     

     

    Raced on sat. up on Hagerstown MD... local race but 20 guys in the A race. got the whole shot into the first turn and lead the first half lap. me and another rider, andy opened a pretty good gap after the first lap. Ive been racing this guy for a number a years so we agreed to take turns pulling. the course was extreamly flat. Some guy bridged up to us and we had a lead group of 3 going for the rest of the race all being pretty good and taking turns pulling. i felt good and with 2 laps to go i tried to make a jump but didn't make it far and they were soon on my back wheel.. the rest of the lap we tried to get away from eachother but nohitng was working. There was a tight gravel turn going into the finishing stretch. coming around on the last lap i tried a different line through the turn b/c i figured it was going to come down to a sprint. WELL my frount wheel slipped out and i had to put my foot down. that's all it takes for a ten yard gap to open. i chased like hell the rest of the final lap but couldn't bring it back. I'll take 3rd place but best of all my fitness getting where it needs to be.

     

    Next weekend is when the real racing begins i'll be in New Castle, DE and then somewhere in PA on sunday. With a good week of training I should be good to go.

    dude what happened to the mountain bike... you use to rock that was way small

  17. joker you are one lucky bastard, you better do cross b/c cross nats are in portland again and i'll be going again, i want to see you racing at nationals

     

    did two races this past weekend

     

    sat. was a 35 mile crit cat. 1,2,3

    road in the pack for most of the race tried for a few breaks but both were very short lived. I got a nice lead out by a teammate and finished up 10th

     

    sun. was an 85 mile roadrace, cat. 1,2,3

    the course was extremly fast. 14 mile loop, the first two laps we averaged 28 mph. i don't think ive ever ridden that fast before. the pase slowed a little. but in the end we averaged 26 mph for 84 miles. I pretty much hung in the pack all of the race. I just can't hang on the flats with those guys so i sucked wheels. in the end i finished up 21st out of 80 riders... i'll take it

  18. original,

     

    road season's been okay, nothing too special, i reallly consider myself a cyclocross racer. I just do roadraces to keep in shape,

     

    I may be at altoona. Im not sure yet I'm one to decide at the last minute. If i go i'll race the cat. 3 field
