Valley of The Sun Stage Race, 2015

by

Chad Beyer had another good weekend at the 2015 Valley of the Sun stage race. Here's the report: The Valley of the Sun Stage Race starts out with a long, flat, out-and-back TT. Time trials are my weakest area so I didn't know what to expect. I ended up losing about 2 minutes to the winner Daniel Eaton. I was disappointed in my ride, but I guess that just means I need to spend more time on the TT bike! Luckily, my Superissimo teammate Paul Thomas … [Read more...]

Team Superissimo Update #243

Non. The advantage of HandUp Gloves is that they are designed to be … [Read more...]

A Sunday in Hell

by

As I arrived to my login for the day, I was greeted with the following poignant insight from a fellow journeyman mechanic: "When I was having a shitty time at the bench, kind of being overrun by minor gripes &/ gangrenous management, I would watch the bit at the beginning of Sunday in Hell where the Sanson mechanic is cleaning the Benotto, or Bottecchia. It would remind me of how the basics serve to reinforce and inform and make way for … [Read more...]
