Just finished an epic bike ride with Brian Ennesser who is raising money for ALS. Brian sadly lost his mother Lois to ALS last year and decided to do something positive to honor his mum and raise money to help others suffering from the same disease. That was the inspiration for Bike 4 ALS and […]

RealRyder Stationary Bike

July 26, 2010

I wanted to share my thoughts with you on the RealRyder Stationary bike which I tried for the first time this winter. We had a hard winter here in New Jersey and I spent more time going to the gym on days when there was too much ice and snow to ride outside. I normally […]

We all saw the Floyd Landis revelations about doping in the pro peloton a few months back and allegations of organised doping within the US Postal Team.

April 5, 2010

What a great day! Cancellara in this form is pretty much unbeatable! I watched the first few hours of Tour of Flanders on the live Sporza feed on the PC, before our Sunday ride, then watched the finale on Versus in the evening. Even our ride had a “Flanders feel” to it; bright morning on […]
