The Central New York area has had a huge amount of strong athletes this year.
BTB is very proud of the head of the Hadzor Clan for achieving the distinction of All American by the USAT. He continues to be an inspiration to those around him by routinely putting in the time on the run, bike, swim, weight and on the job site at the age of 65 all while maintaining a wonderfully contagious enthusiasm!
It was another great year running the Tipp Hill Shamrock Run. The event has such a great atmosphere, with runners and walkers of all sorts that come out. The energy level is always a nice happy buzz, with neighbors watching from their porches to cheer for friends and family.. lining the streets, bands jamming out on the corners from rock to marching band to Irish singers.. even the local Irish dance school flanks the road with their pupils in school colors and regalia as runners pass under the historic traffic light whose green light is atop the indicator.
It’s always a great test of fitness and even more fun to see all of the folks from the running community!

BTB athlete, Randy Hadzor, had a decent run and got a nice shout out from the local neighborhood bulletin:
Do what you do! A nice video about a human in the area that is also very good at riding bicycles quickly!
Oh man, more sick Keirin video.. perfect length for some Cadence Practice.. most likely coming to projector screen near you very soon..
A quiet day in lunchtime cadence class, so we loaded up the Nelson Vails Story.. super inspirational, check it out.
This years Gobblecross (five) was a success!
The weather was amazing and it was great to see so many people make the journey out by bicycle to check out the fun!
Congratulations to all of the racers for completing the challenging course!
We never got around to writing the press release detailing the story of ‘Edwards dethrones Timmerman Gobble Legacy’ .. as Kevan became the first A race champion to not be one of the brothers.
For some more info, details, photo links etc, check out the Gobblecross 2015 page.
As usual, only the nicest people in all the land showed up to play bicycles. It was great to see everyone.
Thanks for coming out! We should do it again sometime.
Bigger gears?
Time to shoot for 105 average cadence!
