Good Friday Road Race – OCup #1
 Team Planet Energy lined up for the 2009 edition of the Good Friday road race with just three guys: Andrew Randell, Buck Miller and myself. The plan was
Training and Tunnels
Last time I wrote I was saying how getting out on the gravel roads was a great way to deal with the winter weather. Turns out I’m actually a bit of a wimp. On Tuesday I jumped in the car and drove about 13hrs down to Asheville, NC. Dan Timmerman from the team this had [...]
