I'll preface this short post by saying I'm a solid guy. By solid I mean I've decided over many years that I prefer and think I look better in solid colors. Patterns are usually not my thing, but I'll make an exception for Houndstooth when it comes from my pal Don Powell at Panache Cyclewear. [...]

Some of you may be wondering if I'm getting much riding in these days... and the answer would be NO. Commuting still puts 100-125 miles on the gps every week, but a it's been more than a month since my last serious ride on the weekend. I'll blame a full calendar of local races for [...]

Nevada City isn't in France and 90-minutes of tough circuit racing may not translate into great things when the Tour starts in Monaco, but Lance Armstrong took his first win of the season in decisive fashion, and looked damn good in the process. Within two or three laps he, Levi and Ben Jacques-Maynes had built [...]

I'm not sure why but I wasn't really into shooting yesterday as I wound my way over the hills and down to the coast for the 2009 edition of the Pescadero Road Race. Funny thing, since last year it was my favorite day on the Northern California racing calendar. Maybe it was the low lying [...]

Not much to say about this one. Mt. Hamilton is a favorite climb; 4,200 feet from the Easter Edge of San Jose. The race goes over the top spirals down a technical descent on the other side and then winds it way through the remote backcountry along Mines Road to Livermore. Sunday I drove up [...]

Sunday morning it was pitch dark when I grabbed my cameras and set out for a 5:30 am rendezvous with Specialized's Bobby Behan at the Uvas Reservoir. Bobby is Global Sports Marketing Director for Specialized and an accomplished triathlete, DS and coach. At an athletic 6'5" the affable Irishman now living outside Capetown, SA is [...]

May 2nd dawned gray and misty in the quiet, affluent backstreets of Los Gatos. The Cat's Hill Classic Criterium was back in town for the 36th time, bringing racers of all ages out to test themselves on the 23% "wall" that gives this race it's punch. I loaded up the car with a small [...]

Nicolas Roche, Chain Recovery Step 1 - Cycling.tv
Cycling.tv is still a long way from an easy-to-view service but a little persistence has paid off this week with some great race coverage from McCrossan and Backstedt.
Excitement. Stage 3 saw an incredible attack by the whole Rabobank team with 45km to go that shredded an inattentive peloton [...]

The best rider won the Tour of California yesterday. Put under pressure and briefly isolated on Palomar Mountain by his closest GC rivals Levi proved he had the legs and the will to cover all the moves. In truth he could have stayed with his Astana teammates who were never more than 30 seconds behind [...]

If bicycle road racing is unpredictable (unless you're Johan Bruyneel of course), photographing road racing is even worse. Tuesday's Stage 3 - San Jose to Modesto drove that point home as the run of wet weather continued to dampen the route [...]
