This was my first ever race, so my goals were pretty modest. I wanted to finish and not die in a 40 bike pile up of my own creation. Some one else’s crash is okay, as long as I didn’t cause it. Hao would never let me live it down. I [...]
Ian’s 2010 Coldspring Race Report

At the start of this season I had great plans. I had entered both the Tour of New Braunfels and Pace Bend but because of the commitments of my new job I was unable to make it to the start line of both. I imagine the pre race roll call to be like that scene in Ferris Bueller’s Day [...]

Coldspring: M7 had 4 racers (Ramsey, Ian, Yan, and myself) in the 35+ 4/5. Ramsey’s legs were shining so we all knew that he was ready. Many thanks to those (Scott, Johnston, Ruberti) who worked the event and for our category as the lead and wheel cars. At 8:30, the weather was cool and sunny [...]

Last Sunday was the one I decided to experiment with my first Crit. My recent successes in Fort Davis and Galveston triathlon allowed me to believe I actually stood a chance at being decent at such events , and my Neighbor Hao had been pounding in my ears over the past 3 months that there [...]

This year, we had 4 racers competing (Adolfo, Yan, Dan, and I). Adolfo was in the 40+ and the rest were in the 35+ 4/5. Among the 4, only Adolfo and I devote ourtraining geared solely towards bike racing. Yan and Dan call themselves triathlon Ironmans. In fact, Yan has never been in a sanctioned bike race. Of course, [...]

What a weekend. You missed one hell of a crash. Less than two laps to go the chase group is in full flight at 30+ mph and a chain reaction wipes out half of what was left of field. I’d guess about 25 guys hit the deck very hard. Kudos to the break for staying [...]

What a rush, I almost arrived to the race late because my dad missed the Cleveland exit by 25 miles. Thankfully I was able to call James Ruberti to ask him if he could pick up my number so I could race and he did it without hesitation. Thanks James, thats what I call team effort. If [...]
Henk Calderon at Castroville

Castroville tough race and a hard cookie to munch on. TT don’t even ask. At the crit, I rolled onto the course to get a few laps in before the start. After rolling out, I found myself at a good position. The pace was extremely high the whole time with recent addition to pro team OUCH-Maxxis, [...]
