get cookin’ !

I’m sure we all long to wander across the world and explore the nooks and crannies of the far stretches of earth, perhaps by bicycle… Silly norms, limited resources and such always seem to stand in the way.. Well the internets shared one little trick to make light weight meandering explorative nomadic life a little more within reach..

If 10,000 people read this blog post I hope at least 1 to 3 of them become nomadic homeless people who could crush a cat1/pro cyclist at the drop of a hat in a 100mi race. Maybe that number is to high, if 10 people read this post I hope still at least 1 person grows a serious raggedy beard, gradually covers themselves in road grime for a minimum of 3 years, whilst growing quads that could resemble an assortment of gallon jugs smuggled in the legs of a lycra race kit (if they should ever decide to wear such a sparkly impractical outfit).

gotham cup duathlon!

Who knew Prospect Park, Brooklyn was a nice morning trip from Syracuse? Made it there in time to race at 7:30am, and back in time to play good ol’ fashioned BTB hockey at night!

Above is my hip interpretational photographic documentation of the drive down to Brooklyn.

It was great fun racing through Prospect Park, already on the second lap of the first run the city started to come alive, probably delayed from normal days as it was a sleepy Sunday after all. By a few laps into the bike it was like a video game; dodging pedestrians, joggers, walkers – some with dogs on leashes making their surface area for impact about 8 feet wide while they still thought they were only normal human width, regular cyclists, 1 man who seemed to enjoy bouncing his giant kick ball and occassionally just watch it roll down the inclines seemingly observing what would happen as it approached the packs of cyclists and generic crowd approaching.

All said and done, finished up 2nd overall, met some very nice folks while we were waiting for the final tally of the results.

November 2nd at the WTF!

No charge to physical therapists. If you want the gift bag that will be $50.

When you register you will receive a FREE in home training kit complete with a training manual which they will go over thorough the workshop.

Paradigm shift happening in core training and Fernando Paredes (Fusion Fitness and Performance) and Morehouse HFC claim they are right smack dab in the thick of things. Sign up for their workshop (November 2nd) and not only will we expose the TRUE function of the spine and core in athletic training and how they together influence performance and rehabilitation, but they’ll also show a variety of core training secrets and techniques they’ve gathered form various sources of combined 30+ years of training.

These dudes have the fire to get athletes on the competitive stage… worth checking it out.

bigger. stronger. faster. BTB.

This has been a public service announcement supported by BTB because we think you should use as many convenient local resources as possible to get stronger which directly correlates to doing more awesome stuff and having more fun.

Any questions, call Brent Morehouse on the phone number from the flier and bother him.. or if you just feel the urge to heckle someone and you’re not currently at a cross race… tell him BTB athletics sent you. OH! and there is a BTB discount since you heard about it here, ask him about it in your email or tele-heckle-conference.. points go to best cowbell ringtone and digital hand-up. just reference BTB or the Brothers Hadzor Conglomeration

Sincerely,
management

text in gray means we made it up, but still kind of stand behind it.

trainer season

It’s not quite trainer season, but with the crazy rain and this little radar snapshot heading our way:

wall of weather

I’m glad to start the indoor hammertime..

as this time of the year approaches, I am happy to focus the time spent spinning wheels to also satiate my new addiction of watching bmx+mtb videos.. coincidentally the music typically ranges from decent to excellent.

for the next stationary foray I’m thinking :

warm up:

work out:
not found yet. ~1-2hr.

cool down:
~15-20min

cx season approaches!

As the temperature fluctuates wildly there are tell tale signs the fall is coming. The occasional brisk gray weekend and cool evenings that lead to morning rides, far darker than just near weeks prior. The trees typically green, turn orange and occasionally bright red, but this hides in the shadows and folks claim it was a trick of their eye. The apples ripe and fragrant on the trees as you climb around route 20, even in the city you see crab apples gathered along the curb.. there’s no denying it..

cyclocross season is coming!

who’s up for some adventure..?
