It’s 2023 and it’s my annual post on how I don’t stop thinking about tomorrow. I have to admit, I haven’t fully thought out what I want to do with the year ahead of me, and I’ve done this often enough to know that nothing goes as planned. And what does go as planned, often…

Mid Season Cyclocross Reflections
I’m 6 races into cyclocross season and it feels like a good time to pause and reflect as I take a weekend off from racing. I started the season telling myself that anything could happen and that things would be unknown after everyone had a whole year off from racing due to Covid. I told…
Training Plan 2021
I’m still injured with a pinched nerve. While a pinched nerve sounds relatively minor, I can assure you, this is not. I finally hit a wall after 2 & 1/2 weeks of pain and saw a doctor. Now I’m medicated, but I don’t see myself getting on a bike anytime soon. Plus muscle relaxers don’t…

Gravel & Dirt in 2018
This year is nearly half over, and I’m just feeling like it’s starting. The winter was long. So long. Like still getting snow in April long. Now warmer weather is here and all I can think about is being outside riding. I’m getting out enough, but it’s like I feel the need to make up…
Don’t Jinx It! My CX Season So Far…
I’m hesitant to write about this at all, but dare I say, I’m finally having the cyclocross season I’ve always wanted. I have long had the modest goal to finish in the top 50% of the race. And this year–it’s actually happening. Not every race, but 4 of the last 7 races this year I’m…
Cyclocross is Underway!
Guys, I honestly didn’t think I was going to make it this season. Call me late to the party, but I’m here! Cyclocross season is underway in the #NECX and I’m gearing up for my 6th year. So lots has happened since I was here last. I sold my house, moved in with my long…

Living in western mass, I feel particularly fortunate to connect with so many cycling friends at an event in my backyard that I otherwise…
