I realize that this website is mainly used to tell stories of crazy winter rides, race results, and general cycling goofiness.  It is also a blog.  Today i’ve decided to blog.  It is January 27th… and also my 1 year reunion since the beginning of my cycling journey (roughly).  A year ago I bought my first bike with drop handlebars, clip-less pedals,  10 speeds, and skinny tires.  It was a modest bike and i didn’t know to much about cycling.  I remember going on my first group ride.  I got dropped so bad because i bonked.  I literally felt my body crumble minute by minute.  I was miserable, i wanted to quit, i wanted to call my mom, and i wanted to never see any of these a-holes any more.   Fast forward one year.  Cycling has absolutely changed my … Read More »

WOW it was cold this weekend.  Almost too cold to ride.  Almost.  This past week we have been crushed with snow.  I mean crushed for cincinnati.  We had like 6 inches!!  Anyways the white death had kept most of us off the bike outside for a couple days and I was beginning to grow tired of my intense trainer work outs.  Saturday night I went out to party with the likes of the BSM crew, well maybe only Max.  It was a fun night of bowling, beers, and too many beers.  I woke up sunday morning around 9 a.m. to max’s whining cats.  I could hear it out side of the office couch where I was sleeping.  MEOW ME ME MEOOOW.   Damn cats… don’t you realize I’m hung over.  At this point I am moving around and having coffee … Read More »

Since the beginning of January we have been meeting every sunday for our weekly base mile rides.  Attendance has been high and morale has never been higher.  Along the course of the rides I have been falling off the back (on purpose!) to snap some pics.  In my opinion Kentucky has some of the best road riding in the tri state area.  6 miles outside of Newport you are already in the rolling country hills no matter which way you go.. east or west!  I had a great time exploring a lot of these roads this summer on some crazy 100 miles rides with Glenn and Adam.  Last year I can remember us riding route 8 west every sunday.  Borrrrring!  These new routes have really began to refresh the normal base mile routes!  Now on to the pics

While half of the team was off at UC testing their lactating thresholds (only 1 girl went, not sure why the guys went), Jamie and I (James) went out to Harbin park today for a warm winter TT race thing – Harbin Park Riding Dirty TT Series. The weather gurus predicted we’d see temps in the high 30′s today. With a fresh pack of snow on the ground, we were hoping it would stay cold enough to not turn the park into a mud fest.

Wow! Feeling totally overwhelmed about the generosity of this year’s sponsors coming through for Team Hungry. I’m really feelin’ the love here!

I can’t even get my ass off the ground…

Pretty much everyone had hung up their CX bikes for the season about a month ago. Then, those wiseguys at QCW thought they’d give us one more punch to the stomach, leg, shoulder, etc… Some of us suckers had our arms bent and twisted to get out to Kingswood for some mud slinging in near 60 degree December 31 weather!

Category C:
Jamie was holding 2nd place for 95% of the race. Not sure Jamie ever had a chance for 1st against a CAT 2 rider in his first CX race. In all fairness, the CAT 2 rider got his first cross bike 2 weeks before the race. Jamie hammered out strong laps until the last creek crossing / bunny hop over the handlebar excursion. He regained composure only to find his brakes were locked up. He managed to bring home a … Read More »
