Race Report: TOUGHMAN USAT Long Course National Championships
TOUGHMAN – USAT Long Course National Championship:🏊🏻♂️: an honest course with nowhere to hide. Straight out and back, the rising sun on one side.

Race Report: Race to the Top of Vermont

Race Report: Whiteface Mountain Uphill Bike Race
Signing up for the 18th Annual Whiteface Mountain Uphill Bike Race wasn’t my idea. I’ll own the choice, of course, but I wouldn’t have even heard about it if my friend Phil hadn’t asked me to do it. I was in the midst of concussion recovery at the time, and I’d be lying if I…
