Early season stage racing pays strong dividends to those putting in the TT work over the winter and looking for a couple last upgrade points.

Searching for a team to ride with in 2019? Then look no further! TMB Development is a team focused on developing road racing skills and race teamwork, but also has a fun side for those who want a soft introduction to racing and group riding with lots of stoke.

Last race of the season, and I had never raced so far away, so how could I say no to waking up at 4:20am, drive for 2.5h and race my bike one last time for the 12th Henleyville Road Race? I couldn’t, so here I was on I5, eating a plain bagel and drinking coffee, determined to make it to the hall of fame of Velopromo races. ….

With the 2018 season coming to a close I am happy to say I was able to take home the Cal Cup! The Cal Cup is an omnium of last ten major races in the Velo Promo season. The competition was tight and we needed to perform well, at least 7th place, at the final race (Oakland Grand Prix) to lock it down. …..

Time Trials are often called the race of truth, usually for good reason as there isn't a peloton, teammates, or luck to hide behind and affect the outcome. It's you and your bike against the clock, and the fastest person wins. Pretty simple really. …

Not a fan of last minute changes and vague course description but this played into my favor as I still had college friends from UCM and that was an opportunity for me to be in town. ….

The Giro di San Francisco is one of my favorite crits of the season. It’s local, technical, with railroad tracks, lots of potholes and cracks, a small up hill and typically a large field – everything a crit racer could wish for.  With the podium finish two days prior, I’m coming into this race with high hope of getting good results. This race has always felt special to me. I ride these roads every morning as my office is right outside the race course. ……

Feeling:

After some nice results and a few good weekends of racing fitness was solid

Plan:

This race almost always has an early break go, riders later bridge and they lap the field. We were ready to have numbers in that break. ….

Having invested a considerable amount of time on time trialing capabilities I decided to race the Tempus Fungit to see where I stacked against other time trialist. The course is a 11miler out & back with the out leg rolling slightly up. I was ready to try a different strategy and different gear this time around. ….
