102. My Year in Review

2019 I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually kind of glad the 2019 race season is over.  I mean, sure it was a great season of big boss racing, but after 16 races I'm tired.  Like, really really tired. Keep in mind that 16 races means 16 days of racing, 16 days of … Continue reading 102. My Year in Review

101. Reggie Ramble

Introducing the Reggie Ramble "Leaves are falling all around" Well that was fun. The Superfly Racing Reggie Ramble was a seriously fun, wickedly cool, smiling-from-ear-to-ear, good-time, deliriously awesome, gravel rip. I just have one question:  What the hell is a Reggie? Is it a type of race?  A Norwegian sports car?  An menu item at … Continue reading 101. Reggie Ramble

I Was WRONG? Well this is new. I was wrong. Hmm, so that's what it feels like...

90. Paris to Ancaster 2019

The 2019 P2A70 is a Wrap! Well that was fun. Truthfully, it was actually kind of horrible.  But the fun kind of horrible. A giant, horrible, fun-bucket of playing bikes. You have to get it in order to get it. Honestly, there isn't much I can say about the Paris to Ancaster bike race that … Continue reading 90. Paris to Ancaster 2019
