Going the Distance, Going for Speed

Where the Hell Were You?

It's not my fault. If you're desperate enough for entertainment to bookmark this page, you probably already know that I moved to Santa Rosa. Right now i'm in the process of buying a house, plus learning a new job, plus still trying to race and not be too fat and out of shape. I have a new email address, so don't send email to my old one, eh?

I just got a new cyclocross frame from RockLobster in Santa Cruz, so i'm starting to get pretty hyped up about cross season. As of 31 Aug, there's virtually no information available about cx schedules in Norcal. As soon as I get information, i'll publish it or link to it here.

A byproduct of cross season is that i start to do stupid stuff like run up hills carrying my bike instead of going on all-day off-road adventures. As a result, there won't be a regular epic ride section for the fall. I'll fill up the space with something else I guess.

I'll make every attempt to put out 1 issue per month. Check around the 1st of each month to see if I'm lazy or not.

Rants My new life away from sacramento. Maybe 9 speed has some redeeming features.

Race News Race Season wrap-up. If you really care how the velo lemurs did in August, you can find it here. Included are results from the last two races of the kooka cup, and the napa knobular.

Equipment Notes Overview of what I used for '98 and how it worked. Your opinion may differ somewhat dramatically from mine. Check out the review archive for previous reviews.

Archives Index (sort of) It's hard to structure the old information in an easy to find format. This is the original homepage of this site, with links to the reviews, results, epic rides, etc..

Back Issues of VS July 1998 9 speed sucks. Long-term SID review.
June 1998 Why Richard Cunningham is a dork. Why I love my Esp. An 8-hr epic ride in Nevada City

Links That Don't Suck

Bikesite/Mudsluts. This e-zine writes too many positive reviews, but other than that it's pretty cool. They have some incredibly talented, good-looking, athletic contributors.

Epic ride stories Some of these are insane, but all are worth reading.

Precision Bicycles, your source for Fisher

Dan Garcia's Webpage

Victor Johnson's page with great maps for backcountry biking and motorcycling in utah.

Steve Apgar's Napa Valley MTB page has some good off-road riding info for the Napa Valley area.

Adventure Sports Online. Good info for all sorts of biking, rafting, hiking etc.. adventures. The new version of the page seems to be much less graphics and bandwidty intensive.

Team WrongWay. This is pretty fun reading. These guys are only semi-serious about racing, but they're all the way serious about having fun. Plus they make fun of Steve, always a bonus.
