Oh man GMSR was quite an experience this year. I had told myself I would be happy getting in the top 20 and I managed it at 18th overall. But I am left wanting more because I know I can get more from myself. I could have played a few moves smarter, taken a few more risks here or [...]

The last time I wrote a race report (following my broken pelvis at Giro del Cielo) I ended by saying that my 2017 season was over but that, “I was already looking forward to 2018.” Well, it turns out that my 2017 season was not over. After some gentle nudging from the team – looking at you Dan – and [...]

I don’t exactly want to admit it, but Purgatory was a bit of a target this year. While you never really want to walk (ride) away from a silent target with anything less than a win I told myself that getting the state championship jersey was a good secondary goal. I will just throw this right out there, it [...]

To start let me say that this was the longest road race I have ever done. Not my longest ride, (That honor goes to the 200 on 100 that I did with my girlfriend, Anne) but it was the longest race I have ever done by about 15 miles. I was definitely nervous going into it. The mood was pretty [...]

Jarvis just finished a huge ride - the Dirty Kanza. Here's how it went: Drove into Emporia, Kansas on Friday after spending a few days with some friends/support crew in Colorado. Camping in a RV campground after 8 hours of being in a car wasn't an ideal pre-race night but everything in the town gets booked up instantly for the race. [...]

Morning rides are best started with a good espresso and some delicious pastries. The Buttery got us going before an early mid-week ride.
