Snowing at Snowshoe! Our 4th trip of the Season to Snowshoe Ski Resort – Drove up in a Snowstorm!

This was our 4th trip to Snowshoe in the 2023/24 season. We drove up in a major snowstorm and it made for an interesting drive. The snow looked great but wasn’t so good on Saturday because of the previous warm weather. Sunday was much better. We enjoyed several days at Snowshoe mountain resort. We hope you enjoy the video.

Gravel Bike Ride: Old Falls River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park

ByMike Byrd October 22, 2023January 15, 2024

Kim surprised me with a trip to Fricso, Colorado over Labor Day weekend 2023. We took the gravel bikes with us on this trip and were looking for a good gravel rides. I wanted to visit Estes Park (also knowns at the Rocky Mountain National Park) and we found a gravel ride review for Old Falls River Road.

The reviews said it was a challenging but beautiful ride. We watched a Youtube video review and decided, why not, let’s do it.

We drove down to Estes Park and as usual, ended up with a later start than planned. That seems to be our MO these days.

Race 1 – 2011 North Mecklenburg Cyclocross Series

ByMike Byrd April 27, 2023September 12, 2023

The North Meck Cyclocross Series kicked off Tuesday night in Huntersville with great weather and a fast dry course for the opening round. For the fourth year of this USAC sanctioned training series, promoter Neal Boyd used a similar course setup from previous years- featuring traditional barriers, wooden stair- step run-ups, and a short gravel section near one of the softball fields. The course winds through several flat grassy areas, but takes advantage of some sidehills and off-camber sections as well. North Meck Park has lights for the softball and soccer fields, and the course is well-lit for night racing.

Cackalacky Cup 2010 – The Legs Fell OFF!

ByMike Byrd April 29, 2023September 12, 2023

This past weekend was the Cackalacky Cup held at Lake Norman State Park. Charlotte Sports Cycling hosts on a Mountain Bike Time trail on the Itusi and Mombo trails. The first TT is on the Itusi loop with some man made obstacles (a skinny, limbo and cones). If you were to fall off the skinny, not clear the limbo or knock over a cone, you were assessed a time penalty.

Tri Bike Vs Road Bike

ByMike Byrd June 20, 2023September 12, 2023

There is always a lot of discussion amongst ‘us racers’ as to whether or not there is a significant advantage of riding a Time Trial/Triathlon bike in a time trial. Most of us are aware of all the marketing around aero frames, wheels, helmets, position, etc. You know what I’m talking about, this wheel will save you 40 seconds, an aero helmet will save you a minute…

2012 Elite, U23, Juniors & Paralympic Road National Championships – Day 3 (6/22/12)

ByMike Byrd April 7, 2023September 13, 2023

Today was a rest day for Chester and I at the 2012 Elite, U23, Juniors & Paralympic Road National Championships. Today were the Criterium Championships and unfortunately (or fortunately) they don’t have a crit class for tandems.

We slept late and headed down to the races to see the Paralympians that were able to do the Crit race. It was inspirational to see them racing. Watching them race definitely puts things in perspective. They don’t see it that way and race as hard as any able bodied athlete, maybe even harder, but for me it definitely makes me realize that I shouldn’t be ‘sweating the small stuff’. I hope that makes sense.

Sea Otter Classic 2006

ByMike Byrd April 19, 2023September 12, 2023

I attended the Sea Otter Classic this past weekend and raced the Masters 30+ Cat 5 Circuit and Road Race. If you haven’t been to Sea Otter, I recommend going at least once. Riding the Laguna Seca Racetrack is great experience. It’s a tough circuit race that climbs 300 feet per lap in about a ¼ mile with the 2nd half of the climb being much steeper than the first half. Riding the corkscrew is like being on a roller coaster ride, you feel as though you are riding straight down a mountain. A fellow competitor’s computer said we were going 47mph by the time we hit the bottom of the corkscrew turn.
