Crit Racing Tips 102 (Beyond The Basics)

I wanted to write an article about Criterium racing, and give some tips, but looking around, most of the tips like “get in a good warmup,” “line up early,” “stay up front,” etc. have pretty much been covered. So I thought about the advice I give my riders beyond the basics.

What You Gonna Do When It Starts To Hurt?

In every race I have ever done, there comes a point where I get this big surprise when I realize how uncomfortable racing my bike can be. Having to push hard and ride at the pace set by the pack can be painful. The funny thing is that after over 25 years of racing, IContinue reading “What You Gonna Do When It Starts To Hurt?”

10 Simple Things To Remember When Racing As A Team

This past weekend, I was working with a team of riders who where preparing for an important local race. As I was writing a pep-talk e-mail, I decided to remind them of all the things that we have been learning the hard way, that we all really already knew but were not putting into practice.Continue reading “10 Simple Things To Remember When Racing As A Team”
