https://type2fun.wordpress.com/2010/04/11/fleche-new-england-2010
Fleche New England 2010. April 11, 2010. By last year’s Fleche in the middle of May, I had ridden 1500 miles. This time round I had 1700 under my belt, and 5 weeks earlier, and including several rather long rides. I was feeling pretty good about my training, especially since the route seemed to be a notch less hilly than last year. Loading up the bikes at Randys house in Moretown. My Niner, ready for the long road, complete with frame bag, Carousel Design Works seat bag, fenders, Ay-Up lights etc. Strong...

February 25, 2010. Endurance athletes and those who recreate in some long distance activity know that adequate hydration is the only way to stay happy, regardless of whether you’re trying to be hard core or not. What has taken me a couple of years to figure out is that exactly. Go through the online survey and answer questions about your style and level of activity. It will generate a drink mix formulated specifically for you! Thanks to Google, a few useful conversions:. 1t salt = 2400mg sodium (Na).

The last rides of the Kermit Niner. May 26, 2010. 8221;, which was rather confusing, since Hardwick is hardly a mid-sized progressive city with a helpful network of bike paths. As far as I know, Hardwick has zero bike paths. Its amazing that so few drivers understand that bikes have a right to use roads. Round barn in Elmore. Mow his lawn. I rode home to dismantle the Kermit Niner. Maple Corner Store, Calais. From → Biking. May 18, 2010. 8230;I wonder if he knows Little Debbie…. From → Tour Divide. Soon,...

Tour Divide gear: Niner Air9. May 30, 2010. My Tour Divide race machine will be a Niner Air9. When I was done, the first test spin was rather satisfying. My oh my do new parts run more happily than old beat up ones! Niner Air9 XL Raw. A shiny new drivetrain! The bike. One odd bonus item you might spot is the Adams Trail-a-bike hitch on the seatpost. Removing that will have to be a very last minute modification since the trail-a-bike is very popular! Dave’s Tour Divide Bike. Niner Air9 Raw XL. Ergon GX-2 ...

News and Notes (blog). 11 TD Start List. 11 ITT-D Start List. 11 Letters of Intent. 10 TD Start List. 10 Letters of Intent. Start List and LOI Archive. 2010 Letters of Intent. This is indeed my 'letter of intent', but I would prefer to elevate my commitment and, instead, call this my 'letter of DO'. I’ve given my 'intent' to my wife, employer, family, and friends, so now it’s time to pony-up and turn this into some 'DO'. I DO have a leave of absence from my company. May we all make good on our intentions,.
