Going all the way back to April, I took a few days of rest after an intense winter and spring of track racing. To get going again, I decided to take a small three day bikepacking trip around the Netherlands. I first headed west to De Zilk, a small town on the coast, where IContinue reading “Exploring the Netherlands and a Trip to the Wind Tunnel”

Turkey and Paraguay
Picking up where I left off on my last post, in late February I left my altitude camp in Colombia and headed home to the Netherlands. A few days later I went to a U.S. national team training camp in Sittard, in the Netherlands’ southern Limburg region. The camp focused on final preparations for theContinue reading “Turkey and Paraguay”
2025 Winter in Review
After returning from a December family holiday visit to the US, I spent the first two weeks of 2025 at home in Wageningen: a not-so-nice reminder of Dutch winter weather.

Belleville is a tiny dairy farming village of less than fifty people high in the Bauges mountain range in the Alps. My longtime host family in France, the Richieros, have aContinue reading “Summer Part II: a Road Win and Track World Championships”
Summer Part I
As always, a lot has happened since I last posted. Life keeps delivering! In May, after a winter of travels and roller-coaster results, I settled back into life in the Netherlands. Carefully following my training plan, I slowly increased my volume and intensity before returning to road racing at the end of the month. NoContinue reading “Summer Part I”
Cycling is Cruel, Life is Beautiful
The last two months have taken me for a wild ride. I’ve enjoyed myself, suffered a lot, and learned a lot. Let’s pick up where I left off in early March. My final two weeks in the Netherlands before leaving for the Hong Kong Nations Cup was the most intense training period of my life.Continue reading “Cycling is Cruel, Life is Beautiful”
