Geninho
Geninho from 4dro on Vimeo.
Genesis Cerqueira, o Geninho, é um ciclista especial. Além de pedalar muito, esse camarada de 23 anos, é o mecânico da Tre3e e montou, com suas mãos experientes e olhos atentos, muitas das fixas que rodam por São Paulo e outras cidades.
Por esses motivos escolhemos ele para estreiar nossa série de vídeos dedicados aos ciclistas e suas magrelas.
Geninho pisa firme, pesado e desliza seus skids em um giro pelas ruas do bairro da Vila Madelena e arredores.
E aguardem, tem mais Genesis por aqui em breve.

Mid-Week, GMR FIXED
Yesterday night I rode up GMR via my fixed gear bike. It was hot and I was hurting the whole way up. I typically can ride from Pomona to GMR to Baldy with one water bottle. Yesterday night was hot with a brutal headwind. By the time I reached the maintenance shed, I had less then 1/4 water left.
It was brutal.
On another note, on the way down I saw Matt and Wayne. If I had more time, I would have turned around to talk. Next time!

This last weekend, Jamie and I spent some time in San Fransisco. Great city and we managed to ride from Union Square to Tiburon.
In addition to riding, we spent Saturday walking, walking EVERYWHERE! OH those hills. I'll post more pictures later.

Cervelo T1 - I Want, I Want, I Want ...
The Cervelo T1, I absolutely love this bike but everything about it is really what I don't need in a bike; very track specific geometry, steep angles, ridiculously stiff, no brakes and no water bottle mounts. I ride fixed gear, but its all street riding and long distances. This bike is everything I don't need, but want. What's up with that!

Easton Cycling: Birth oh a Carbon Wheel
Tony posted this great video on FB about the manufacturing of a carbon wheel. There are a lot of different steps and I was impressed with the amount of labor and QA processes needed to make a single wheel.

Diamond Bar Beach Ride, FIXED
Today was a real treat. Mike, Scott and I rode to Newport Beach from Diamond Bar. The treat was we (Mike and I) rode fixed, and by way of Carbon Canyon to Newport Beach.
This was my first time riding thru Carbon Canyon and I was surprised by some of the steep sections thru the canyon. I wasn't feeling to great in the morning and I was SOOOOOO over the descent and the super high RPMs.
We made good time and were in Newport Beach at about 8 am. A quick bio-break, refuel and it was time to head home. The trip home was made thru Brea Canyon. It was hot and I wasn't going to tackle Carbon Canyon.
In the end the trip was about 72 miles. Not to shabby.
So with all the 72 miles of riding, I only managed to shoot one picture. It was at the end of the ride and as an unfortunate after thought.

What is a Derny?
You ever see that weird motorcycle / bicycle leading out racers on the track? Well its called a Derny.
From Wikipedia ...
"A Derny is a motorized bicycle for motor-paced cycling events such as during six-day and Keirin racing, or motor-paced road races. It is driven by a 98cc Zurcher two-stroke engine and by being pedalled through a fixed gear, typically of 70 teeth on the front chainring and 11 on the sprocket on the back wheel. The combination allows for smooth acceleration and slowing, important when the rider taking pace is centimetres from the pacer's shielded back wheel. A coupling between the motor and the back wheel ensures the machine will not stop dead if the motor seizes. Top speed, with rider pedalling, is up to 50kph, depending on gearing."
UCI Track World Cup 2011 - The Derny Explained from British Cycling on Vimeo.
Many casual observers of track cycling might have seen the Derny, and the Keirin race, but there's a good chance that they won't know how it works or what it's for.
Matt Rendell talks to the National Cycling Centre's derny driver, and asks him to give the low down.

Midweek Ride, FIXED
Yesterday, I was able to sneak in an after work ride. I ended up riding up GMR to the maintenance shed. I was suprised by the amount of riders heading up.
Matt rode with me to Newman's and he sure kept the pace fast. Matt kept talking the whole way up while I was barely able to say simple words like, "Sure" or "Yes" or "Wow". With Matt in the lead, I sure got my monies worth out of this ride.
I also saw Wayne. Wayne looks like he dropped a bit of weight. Unfortunately, I was pressed for time so I didn't get to talk much with him.

Marymoor Velodrome Grand Prix Elite Women's Keirin
'Marymoor Velodrome Grand Prix Elite Women's Keirin Final 2012 Redmond Washington from RideITLikeUstoleIT!!! on Vimeo.
A keirin race is a mass-start race with 6-9[citation needed] sprint riders and a paced start. Riders draw lots to determine starting positions and start as the pacer (usually a motorcycle, a derny, or a tandem bicycle) approaches. The riders are required to remain behind the pacer, which starts at the deliberately slow speed of about 25 km/h, gradually increases in speed and leaves the track approximately 600–700 meters before the end, at a speed of about 50 km/h. The first cyclist to finish the race is the winner (sometimes finishing at 70 km/h). Keirin races are about 2 kilometers in length (eight laps on a 250m track, six laps on a 333m track, and five laps on a 400m track)

VeloJam 2012
VeloJam 2012 from Siobhan Tebbs on Vimeo.
VeloJam with the MuleBar Girls and AnaNichoola is a concept based on the belief that something needs to be done to tap into all the women out there who want to be taken seriously and race track. VeloJam attracted and rewarded high level racers as well as providing the opportunity for newcomers to race. It gave women the rare chance to race in a field of just other women.
See Lizzie Armitstead's recent comments on the lack of investment in women's cycling in the UK here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2012/aug/01/lizzie-armitstead-sexism-cycling?newsfeed=true

Chantry Flats and Rose Bowl, FIXED
On Saturday Michael and I decided to ride from San Dimas to Chantry Flats via our fixed gear bikes. Its been over a year since our last ascent up the mountain, so I was pretty excited about attempting it on my fixed gear.
We left San Dimas Ave. and Bonita at about 6:30 am and started heading to Chantry Flats. The ride there was pretty straight forward except, somewhere in Duarte, I was stung by a bee. Once on Santa Anita things got interesting. Heading up Santa Anita to the start of Chantry Flats was steep, very steep. We rested at the base before making our way up the two plus mile trek to Chantry Flats.
The ride up to Chantry Flats was not easy. I am not sure of the grade, but it's steeper than Glendora Mountain Road for sure. Michael, riding fixed as well, powered up the mountain ahead of me. When I met him at the top he said he was thinking "good thoughts" about me the whole way up. I'm sure his thoughts included things like, "Wow, I really like the way Jason encourages me to ride hard," or, "I am SO thankful Jason invited me on this marvelous ride!" RIGHT????? Somehow if you ask him, he may have something different to say.
Riding down wasn't bad, with all the twists and turns, I was able to keep my speed in check, and not to mention my ability to skid is getting much better. Once at the bottom, we felt pretty good and refreshed. Mike asked if we wanted to add some more miles by heading to the Rose Bowl. Being the team player, I said, "Sure, why not."
While riding to the Rose Bowl, hunger was starting to set in. We stopped at a Farmers Market in Pasadena, and bought some peaches and figs. We also helped ourselves to a few free samples of watermelon slices and fresh strawberries.
After the Farmers Market, it was off to the Rose Bowl for one lap and then back home. I love the houses surrounding the Rose Bowl. I'm going have to take Jamie there, she'll get a kick home watching.
