2 years ago I submitted a few posters to this event, and this year I am happy to announce that I am helping organize the event!<br />
<br />
We are gathering Cincy artists and designers who have created rad bike posters and putting them on display during Bike Month at Coffee Emporium.<br />

I have been sick for the past month and I can't wait to get back on the bike!
Brown County has a plethora of options.
For MTB there is obviously Brown County trails but also Nebo Ridge.
If it's wet we will hit the fire roads of Hoosier National Forest.
And if it's really bad we could hit the Columbus Architectural Tour and the bike trails.
So last year I rode 500+ miles in January alone. This year I have barely ridden over 500 miles total. It's time to turn this year around!

<br />
This year I want to live a bit more of a balanced life. Catch up on some home improvement projects and make more art and posters. In years past I would pride myself on riding in poor conditions because it made me tougher when races were in poor condition, but this year I am going to use more common sense!<br />
<br />
I plan to race less, maybe take more weekend trips, fun ones where I can still ride my bike.<br />
<br />
In years past I was worried if I let off the gas on training that I would regret not being my optimal self. I was fueled by improvement, it seemed like I was constantly making gains. <br />
<br />
Last year I started having less fun. I would feel stressed if I didnt get in the training ride i wanted. This year I say F it! Have fun, don't stress.<br />
<br />
I do have fun on those days when I feel like the fastest version of myself. So I will plan an abbreviated 4 training rides per week, although I may ride everyday, these four focused rides should keep me in decent shape. I will blog about this more later.<br />
<br />
So, here's the list:<br />
• TOPO trail runs<br />
• Death March<br />
• Heart Mini Half<br />
• Kings Short Track<br />
• Mohican<br />
• E/I TTs<br />
• Xtrerra races, TOPO and Dino<br />
• TriState 6 Hours (solo, but maybe co-ed duo if life is busy)<br />
• Maybe JB 6 Hour<br />
• 5-10 CX races at most, maybe focus on Ohio CX Cup...<br />
<br />
I am going to focus less on series, race my bike when I want to and not race when I would rather do my own thing. If the weather is bad, or I dislike a course, I won't go. <br />
<br />
I hope I can get this list down to 15-20 races. Race less, save some money, go on some more weekend trips.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to having fun with you in 2014!<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">I thought I would have my blood screened and do an assessment of my cholesterol so I could get numbers/data. I've been a bit naughty and my biometrics have gotten worse. I have also been exercising less, so maybe that lack of exercise has contributed to higher cholesterol. Also, I've been vegetarian and a diet with cheese and eggs is not the best idea—those things are full of cholesterol.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">So if you workplace provides a health screening I would suggest getting one and just seeing your numbers. I'm doing this to make sure I live a long, healthy life.</span></span></div>

I was at Armleder Park last evening doing VO2 max intervals. Well, started my second interval I ripped my chain straight off! Usually I have a toolkit with chain tool and an extra SRAM quick link but I had left it at home.<br />

I listen to this podcast called the BikeShow from London. One episode this creativity counselor (Rosie Walford of Big Stretch) spoke about how cycling elevates your mind into an alpha state of creativity.<br /><br />So I wanted to design a poster to celebrate my love of bicycles. So, I through a leg over my saddle and as I rode I wrote a poem/prose.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After I wrote this short prose, I typeset it in antique wood type. I also hand carved two linoleum block illustrations to tie the bicycle art piece all-together.<br /><br />I letterpressed the final poster on Rives BFK paper, using gold and silver inks on an old 1927 Vandercook press in Cincinnati, Ohio.<br /><br /><div>

Ever since I saw Twin Six back in the day I have wanted to design my own jerseys as well. I am thankful that I have had the opportunity to design kits for several teams—some that I have ridden for. But often I come up with designs that teams don't dig as much (I really dig retro kits—my passion dates back before Rapha, I bought a book for the 2003 Tour de France and I fell in love with the old wool jerseys).<br />
<br />
I am trying to find resources to do a small run of cycling jerseys. One problem I have is that I would love to design a kit with a collar as well as the retro pockets in the chest.<br />

Perhaps it is best that I find someone to do a small order in wool jerseys.<br />
So going from here I have two options:<br />
1. Find someone to do a very small order to make jerseys for just Bridget and I<br />
2. I start designing jerseys that have broader appeal—and get the minimums required to have them printed by one of the above fabricators.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191304111018050219.post-80463461997855515712013-08-05T08:03:00.000-07:002013-08-30T17:54:43.774-07:002013 Tour de Colorado!Some of my fam moved to Summit County, near Breckenridge.

Breck:<br />
- Blair Witch<br />
-peak trail<br />
- Barney ford<br />
Bankers Tank:<br />
Rating: Moderate<br />
<br />
Time: 1-2 hours<br />
<br />
Elevation: 10,360-10,850 ft.<br />
<br />
Type: Loop, dirt road, trail<br />
<br />
Season: Late June to early October<br />
<br />
Know Before You Go: When the gate near the trailhead is closed, Boreas Pass Road is still snowy and wet. Cyclists should avoid this ride until the gate opens. Expect vehicle traffic (especially on weekends) on the road which is bordered by aspen groves, making it a spectacular fall ride. Although it may look dry at the beginning, the shaded trail takes a while to lose snow and should be avoided in early summer and also a day after heavy rains. This is also a great ride in the opposite direction.<br />
<br />
Parking: From I-70, drive south through Breckenridge on HWY 9. Turn left at the stoplight on the south end of town onto Boreas Pass Road. Drive 3.5 miles up this winding road to pavement's end. Park in a pulloff on the left where the road becomes dirt.<br />
<br />
Description: Follow Boreas Pass Road for 3 miles to Baker's Tank (see the Boreas Pass ride to continue up the main road). Turn onto a jeep road forking left just before the tank. Climb briefly and veer left onto a trail starting near a fence. It parallels above the jeep road, then switchbacks left. Pedal along this nearly level trail as it winds around a hill, clinging to a steep slope. Reach a junction at 3.9 miles, turn left and begin a long descent (going straight leads to private property). For the rest of this ride, expect uphill traffic and use caution around blind corners. Twist and turn through dense forest. Then connect with an old road at 4.8 miles. Turn left (going right again leads to private land), descend briefly and then turn right almost immediately and back onto the trail. Cross another road and pass through a camping area/turnaround. Continue on the trail as it cruises along a fairly level section through the trees. It then descends along steep hillside, switchbacking downward and ending at the trailhead.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191304111018050219.post-73208382745709251402013-07-09T10:36:00.002-07:002013-07-09T10:36:42.369-07:00The Race to Refuel<object height="315" width="420"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/hFj3CbWtshc?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param>

I just wanted to ride with Bridget and made sure she had fun. But now she is bailing on the 100 miler due to minor injuries.<br /><br />I took my Strava data from last year. I might write these numbers on my bike so I have a lil bee in my bonnet during the race.<br /><br />Here are my approximate splits from 2012:<br />To Aid Station 1 (20mi): 1:57/10.26mph split/10.26 avg, took about 3 min: A lot of trail<br />To Aid Station 2 (34mi): 1:32/9.13mph/9.5 avg, took 4 min messing with Infinit, more trail than I remembered<br />To Aid Station 3 (46mi): 1:04/11.25mph/9.82 avg, took 4 min<br />To Aid Station 4 (72mi): 1:52/13.33 mph/10.96 avg, last fill up, about 3 minutes<br />To Aid Station 5 (88mi-ish): 1:29/10.79 mph/10.67 avg<br />To Finish (93mi-ish): :32/9.33/10.79 avg<br /><br />Overall I was 43rd/166 with a time of 8:37:09 about an average speed of 11mph.<br />

I commute over 2,000 miles a year.<br />First, I want to say thank you to all my fellow road users. We all share the road. We all do our best to drive and ride safely and sometimes there are others, drivers and cyclists who are not cautious as we are.<br />Is it fair to take the rights away from all just because a few do not exercise caution?<br /><br />I adhere to all the same traffic laws as a car. Most of the roads I ride on are two lane streets—I hope that in doing so it is easier for a car to change lanes to pass. I really make sure I signal using my hands and arms, and I often thank drivers with a wave. I do not take my fellow citizens on the road for granted, and I really ride safely because I do not want to endanger others or myself.<br />My commute also features many urban neighborhoods. I often average speeds of 15-25mph on flats and sometimes 35-45 downhills. I would worry that if I were forced to ride the sidewalk that I would endanger pedestrians, the mothers pushing carriages with their children that I often see along my route.<br />Also, I am a home-owner. I do own one car (although I let my wife use it). I have a job, insurance, pay my taxes. These contributions should add up to pay mare fair share as well of road costs.<br />I also hope my cycling can benefit you and society as well. Less demand on gasoline and health-care (I am fortunate to have lost over 60 lbs since I took up cycling and I have been going to the doctor less) will hopefully reduce the cost for everyone.<br />Once again I want to say thank you for sharing the road. I wanted to share my story and point of view. I am grateful to cycling for changing my life and health—and I am grateful that I can commute and be in the sunshine and enjoy our beautiful home town.<br />In closing I wanted to invite you to ask yourself how could you get around if you suddenly lost your car? Having a full array of transportation options benefits all of society. I am grateful to have a car but there are many who cannot afford this. I am happy to have the Metro as a convenient second choice. I feel that as the Greater Cincinnati area grows we need to ensure that there are options for everyone—sidewalks, buses, etc. so we are not tied to one specific form a transportation.<br /><br />
<div>
- - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br />Unfortunately for commuters the bike trail (at the moment) does not network in every possible destination. In Cincinnati I am excited about the Wasson Way and Ohio River Trail which will provide this as an option.<br /><br />At the moment cyclist are legally entitled to ride on the road. This 3 foot law just adds in a bit of safety for people. There are 1% of motorists who are not completely respectful and are rather dangerous. This law will help educate the public about safety (kind of like Buckle Up), prosecute the very few who are dangerous and will hopefully make the road safer for all of us.<br /><br /><div>

True it is frustrating when all road users do not follow the law.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is above the spandex nation. It is for the right of your neighbor's 16 year old without a license to get to work safely. It is for the impoverished that cannot afford a car to be able to get around safely. Currently is is legal for bikes to be on the road, the 3 foot law would just require extra safety, I feel it will act as an awareness campaign similar to "Buckle Up" and only be enforced against those who are truly negligent.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As Steve the bike lawyer wrote: "it is the right of every Ohioan to choose a vehicle to use on virtually all Ohio roads - be it motorcycle, car, truck bus, Amish buggy or bicycle."</div>

I mentioned in another comment that I am a commuter who travels from the Suburbs of Cincinnati to Downtown for work. I do follow the laws because it keeps me and other drivers safe. At the moment there is not an option for me to get to my destination on a bike path. I would love such a route—sometimes rush hour is very stressful. Most people are nice and I ride in a way that is predictable (signaling, riding in a straight line, following traffic laws). But then there would be other days where I would require a more direct road route to get to my destination quicker—and I wouldn't want that bike path to make my ability to use the roads I help pay for and use a less "legitimate" option.</div>

It's Bike Month again. The Giro is happening. And I'm getting ready for another Mohican and the first year of the 6 Hours Series.<br />
<br />
Doing lots of rides. Last year I got hooked on a podcast from London called The Bike Show. He had the writer Lionel Birnie on recently and he is urging cyclists to attempt their own Grand Tours.<br />
<br />
So I am tackling my Giro di Jimmy—trying to ride everyday until the Giro ends. Unfortunately I got a bit sick last week and I missed out on an epic Century with my teammate Gers. It was a reminder of how tough those races are and if one were to attempt the same, to race everyday for 3 weeks, how amazing the winners really are!<br />
<br />
Anyway it IS bike-to-work week. I look back on my own history as a cyclist and I really owe some gratitude to commuting. Commuting was a real sea change for me—I rode more and got faster and became a stronger racer.<br />
<br />
So I want to urge my fellow racers to give it a try. And I want to urge anyone to just to try commuting—cut back on your carbon and get some increased fitness. I think you will like it, it can be a rather relaxing way to get around. And if you live on the East Side of Cincy and interested, I will be happy to be your commute sherpa!<br />
<br />
I've been missing out on the cool commuter stations Queen City Bike has set up. Try to hit those up! QCB is very cool, and these use these stations to count numbers of commuters.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191304111018050219.post-30566229710059966862013-05-14T06:11:00.001-07:002013-05-14T06:11:44.979-07:00I miss David Harmon<object height="225" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u_p0NwAR3iw?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0"></param>

Okay, just add Listermann's, Double Barrel and RheinGeist in that list of locations (maybe even knock on the door of Blank Slate) and that would be one hell of a ride. Perhaps start out about noon, make sure you get in Mount Carmel and Rivertown before 4pm and you would be good to go.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191304111018050219.post-37046286637295467332013-04-11T09:10:00.002-07:002013-04-11T09:10:48.254-07:00Always stop at the Overlook<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As many of you know I practice "Joie de Vivre" cycling. Why ride if you're not having fun? I consider climbing "fun, " as in that it is a challenge. It is a metaphor for life. We face an obstacle and through hard work and determination we attempt to overcome the obstacle.<br />
<br />
But here's my thing. If I'm going to do all that work, I might as well reap the rewards. So I almost always stop. Perhaps at the least it is a momentary slowing and gandering to reflect upon the view.<br />
<br />
Many mornings before work I stop at Eden Park's Twin Lakes overlook and have a bit of a stretch, some coffee and embrace the new day. Some days it is the last moment of calm before the busy work day.<br />
<br />
So let's have some fun and take some time to smell the roses. Do any of you have favorite places to stop?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191304111018050219.post-77716625386813877442013-04-08T21:37:00.000-07:002013-04-08T21:37:25.637-07:001/3 as important as a car?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These signs went up on the trail about a year ago and I would get so angry because I could not tell what the hell they are! Am I 1/3 a person because I ride a bike? Another internet site commented: "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">My guess about the sign is that it means bikes are only 1/3 of the traffic on the multi use trail. There's about 3 of them between Newtown and Loveland, Ohio, on the the Ohio to Eerie trail. I just started noticing them in late summer."</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Well, they are our Ohio State bike route signs. They work. They are just a bit generic. My only thought is to really own the shape of our lovely state, similar to our road signs. I like the green, feels eco and not as serious as a road sign. I like the bike symbol but maybe there is a way separate the numeral from the bike, right now they kind of read as equal. And my only other comment would be to use two signs on a shared path — similar to roads.</span></div>

But this is a moot point now. They have been produced and it costs a lot of money to replace them. Plus I might be the only one offended!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">I thought of this post as I browsed the internet and found these lovely posters from San Francisco showcasing their bike route signs.</span></div>

I like to listen to the one day classics and stage races while I am at work. I find David Harmon and Sean Kelly to be very entertaining — yet chill enough they can hang out in the background.</div>

To get Eurosport coverage one has to get creative and troll the dark catacombs of the internet. Well, sometimes those pop-up ads are a bit ridiculous. I go to the bathroom and come back to find a rather mountainous profile front and center... What did my coworkers see?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And what's up with VeloNews? They were bought out by some media company over a year ago and the recommended articles have nothing to do with cycling. Unless Hollywood's hottest racks refers to Yakimas, Saris and Thules.</div>

Which is not a lot, but the heaviest I have been in over 2 years.<br />

Partying pretty hard lately, and after my 2 week recovery I am definitely off to a slow start. I was hoping for more volume and base miles by now, but life keeps getting in the way.<br />

Oh we'll, I will either find some form or not! <br />
