Returned to racing from my brief hiatus after Gloucester with the Cat 4/Citizen races at the Uncle Sam GP in Troy, New York. Initially I had planned to do both the Cat 4 and the Cat3/4 races on both Saturday and Sunday, but I didn’t sleep much this last week, so I toned down my Read more about Race Report: Uncle Sam GP, Troy NY[…]
Last Friday, at 7:30pm, I hopped in my van and drove three and a half hours in the rain on the Mass Pike to Cambridge, where I spent five or so fitful hours asleep, before waking up at the ungodly hour of 5:45am to drive the final hour to Gloucester, excuse me, Glaaahstah, Mass, for Read more about Race Report: Great Brewers Gran Prix of Gloucester[…]
Bright and early, on a Saturday morning when most of their peers were sleeping off the after-effects of the previous night (spent studying, of course), myself and two other dedicated, enthusiastic, and slightly masochistic Ephs met at the Ark to load bikes and wheels into my van for the drive to Blandford, MA, where we Read more about Race Report: Blandford Beer Cross[…]
It is almost September, which means several things: It’s school time for all y’all heading back to Billsville. Which feels totally weird for me, because I still have around a month until I fly over to the old country for my year of school. It’s almost fall, which means…cyclocross (and pretty leaves and pumpkin flavored Read more about You, sitting there at your computer: You should be racing cyclocross![…]
I’ve been meaning to write this post for more than a month, and I would be lying if I said this was the first free moment I’ve had since our last race. But, as you all know, the end of the school year is inevitably a crazy time, and the beginning of summer a sleepy Read more about 2011 Road Season Recap, or “Yes, I’m really doing it!”[…]
Before anything is said about this past weekend, apologies are owed to Mr. Todd Brenner for grievous oversight in last week’s post. Todd, having received battle wounds (including a concussion) in the fight for the glorious cause (read: while racing over spring break), was unable to join the team on the road at Yale, but Read more about John’s (un)Official Race Report: Dartmouth’s L’Enfer du Nord and UNH’s Live Free or Ride Harder[…]
There was no way that the weekend of April 9-10th was not going to be epic. The Ephs had been eagerly awaiting a return to New Haven ever since team captain Erik “Division III majors are faster” Levinsohn absolutely wrecked the Men’s D2 field last year in both the ITT and the Circuit, while the Read more about John’s (un)Official Race Report: Yale Lux et Velocitas, or: MOVE B****, GET OUT THE WAY[…]
This afternoon Ian, Erik, and I participated in a super fun practice crit with the patrons of Grand Strand Bicycles, on a fun short course with five or so forgiving corners. The group was about 22 strong, and consisted of a wide range of skill and fitness levels, ranging from the 60 year old weekend Read more about John’s (un)Official Race Report: SPRING BREAK (“We’re really doin’ it!”) Edition[…]
The Williams College Cycling team journeyed to the Great State of New Jersey (“Welcome to Mahwah, the World Capitol of Hydraulic Bolting Tools”) this past weekend to participate in the ECCC Season Opener at Rutgers University. Much has been said about the impressive numbers the Ephs posted in the various races, but the true, complete Read more about John’s (un)Official Race Report: Rutgers Scarlet Scurry[…]
The Williams Cycling Team had a simply stellar outing at the season opener at Rutgers this past weekend. Not the crashes, nor rain, nor mechanicals got in the way of superb results. Highlights of the first day include Erik Levinsohn’s storming ride in the Men’s C time trial for second place, Ian Nesbitt’s outright victory Read more about Rutgers results[…]
