ISM Adamo Breakaway Saddle Review

by Eric Lepping on March 29, 2010

I became interested in ISM saddles after seeing so many pros adopting them. I have to admit that as a longtime roadie some of this triathlon gear still looks pretty geeky to me.  ISM saddles fit the bill as a “tri geek” looking item.  (Don’t beat me up too much. I [...]

Handlebar flip video mount

by Eric Lepping on March 27, 2010

I’d been trying to figure out how to make a handlebar mount for my flip video camera.  I was thinking about trying one of those Gorilla Pod deals but wasn’t confident that it would stay secure.  Then I saw a twitter post from @ironmanbobby saying that he had made a simple mount.  I went to [...]

Gran Fondo San Diego Report

March 11, 2010

Event organizers can control many things…but not the weather.  That was the case for the Gran Fondo San Diego.  The forecast was for rain and rain it did.  There was a light spritz as we rolled out of the hotel.  By the time we got to the start we were at the light drizzle point.  [...]

24 Hours til take off!

March 4, 2010

It’s 6:34 as I write this.  If everything is on time my flight will leave at 6:35 tomorrow for Gran Fondo San Diego.  My bags are pretty much packed except for a few items I need to pick up today at Knapp’s Cyclery. I need some knee warmers and maybe a new rain jacket.  I [...]

One week til Gran Fondo San Diego!

March 1, 2010

One week to go.  I’m hoping that all of my off-bike training is enough to get my Clydesdale self through 101 miles of the Gran Fondo San Diego.  We’ve had record-setting snowfall here in Pennsylvania so I haven’t had many miles on the bike.  According to my Training Peaks account I’ve only logged 114 miles [...]

Kestrel 4000 seatpost adjustability and the ISM Breakaway

February 23, 2010

I received the new ISM Breakaway yesterday to review.  Like a kid with a new toy I took my Kestrel 4000 review rig & the Breakaway down to the Clydesdale Multisport lab.  My first order of business was to remove the fiz:ik Arione TRI2 from the Kestrel.  Since I had the saddle off I took [...]

February 23, 2010

The weather in PA recently has made it a bit hard to get out for rides so I haven’t done a lot of miles recently.  I have been able to check out some of the interesting features that Kestrel has built into the 4000.
First up is the ability to slide the rear dropouts fore and [...]

Racing For A Cause

February 15, 2010

I’ve been meaning to do this post but today I got some news that made this post necessary.  This morning I learned that a friend from the Tour de Pink lost his partner to breast cancer.  In addition to my friend, she leaves behind a young daughter.  Another good friend lost his wife to breast [...]

First Steps, Small Steps

February 4, 2010

As a follow up to my post, Conquering Self Doubt, I started to think about how I got to the place I’m at today…
I had a great conversation yesterday with two friends from my Rotary club.  One of them, Tim, is starting a blog with accountability as the theme.  He has some fitness and business [...]

Calorie use in bigger athletes

January 31, 2010

It’s no secret that the bigger you are, the more calories you burn.  Just sitting still while I’m writing this I probably use as many calories as some wee athletes use on a short run!  So, what does this mean for Clydesdales & Athenas?  You’ve got to plan your fueling accordingly.  If I think I [...]
