Here's my cycling page... there's not much to it yet, but it'll grow, don't worry. I'll include race stuff, and whatever else I feel like putting in. Don't forget to check out the OSU Cycling page also, it'll have information specific to the cycling club, and hopefully the Spring Thaw race.

My first race of the season was the Syracuse Criterium. You can find info here.

My new bike is a Devinci Apex. Check it out, they're pretty cool!

Ok, so I did my first road race in years, my first race since like 2 years ago, and my first ever criterium. I didn't do great, but all in all not too badly. I'm gonna keep on training (now I know more-so what to train for) and look for the next one! =) I'll post a link to the results when I find it. I now have a link to the pics from it, anyways. You can find the pics here. I'm in the 4th picture on the first page.

I raced the Highland Forest mountain bike cross country race on August 4th. I placed 17/35, not too bad. There isn't anything online about it that I've found yet, sorry. Not sure when the next race will be, we'll see.

You can find info on some more races as well as other cycling info here.

I found this, and thought it definitely needed to go on here, enjoy!

Admit it: there is a mindset, a group of assumptions, and a whole set of experiences that set a "cyclist" apart from the vast majority of the populace that just rides a bike. There are the serious things, like an understanding of vehicular cycling, and the mundane things, like knowing where the good places to lock a bike are. Here are the amusing things that make us laugh at ourselves, and give those tell-tale hints that maybe, just maybe, you are a Bike Geek!!


1. You think that working on your bike is almost as much fun as riding it

2. At some point you caught yourself wondering if your bike might look good if you added fenders

3. You discover that you have forgotten to remove your reflective ankle straps hours after you have arrived somewhere by bicycle

4. You would recognize that threaded washer from a Presta valve stem anywhere

5. You KNOW what a Presta valve is

6. You make decisions about car purchases based on which one more easily accepts a rooftop bicycle rack

7. You skip that last beer because there is a group ride the next morning

8. You own any kind of purple annodized bicycle accessory

9. Colorado Cyclist sent you a Christmas card last year

10. Your bicycle(s) are worth more than your automobile

12. "Once you try bibs, baby, you'll never go back!"

13. You can tell your significant other with a straight face that its too hot to mow the lawn then take off and ride a century. (bonus points for knowing what a century is) =)

14. Your bike rack and attachments are worth more than your car.

15. You pull up hard on the steering wheel trying to jump your car over a pot-hole.

16, The first thing you ask when you regain consciousness is "How's my bike?"

17. You actually move farther from work so your bike commute will be longer.

18. You take a perverse pride in your mid-thigh and mid-bicep tan lines, and even more in that funny little circle on the back of your hand

19. Your learn you have some money left over after paying bills and the first thing you do is reach for the nearest bicycling catalog

20. Most of the tools you own are made by Park or Blackburn

21. Someone in a car asks for directions and you give them a route that bypasses freeways and busy surface streets 1
