Advice for off season bike racers #3

Take off your cyclecomputer/heart rate monitor/power meter for the
rest of the season.

Get back to basics: if it's warm enough to ride outside and you want
to ride- just go.

Advice for off season bike racers #2

For every new thing you plan to do or change this off-season or next season with the goal of being a better bike racer... try a new type of food, beer, wine, cigar or read a new book, magazine or blog.

It will remind you that sometimes new things are AWESOME... but sometimes they suck.

Best Vacation Ever?

Last year Rosa and I had the opportunity to kick it around Germany, Austria and England for a week. This year it was a Trek Travel trip along the Northern California Coast. How can you pick one of those over the other? It’s close to impossible (but since one included my best friend’s wedding I suppose it has a slight edge...) But regardless, this vacation was beyond anything a cyclist like me could ever ask for.

We posted some photos over at the MobileMe gallery , and they pretty much speak for themselves. Gorgeous scenery, delicious meals, plush accommodations and great company. Anyone looking for a not-so-run-of-the-mill vacation needs look no further than a Trek Travel trip.
