When we strive to get better, when we want to improve, something has to change in either our approach, preparation, or ex*****on.
•
In most cases, things need to change in all three areas to get the results we desire.
•
That’s why Mr Lichtenbergs quote points us to an important realization that change is a MUST.
•
We can dream about better outcomes and results, but without making changes to our approach, preparation, and/or ex*****on we cannot expect improvement on “game day”.
•
So as Spring gets into full-swing and Summer events loom, now is a great time to evaluate progress and recommit to making the changes necessary to put ourselves on track to the performances we desire.
•
Don’t shy way from change, embrace it, because when we make change less abrasive or complicated, progress comes faster and more consistently in all we do.
•
Athlete Highlight: has worked hard throughout the early part of the year to build solid form for the race season and it is showing at each race!
•
He has been sniffing around for the break-aways and mixing it up alongside his teammates as their team has been competing in criteriums throughout SoCal.
•
A big result is on the horizon for Jon, we know it, and we want to highlight the consistency and commitment to training that has kept him competitive despite long days at work and extended commutes.
•
Great work Jon, we are super proud of you and all your hard work to be able to race at the front this year and in years past!
•
Way to go Buddy!

Another great Coach Wooden quotes comes to the fore as this weeks post.
•
The notion of “staying the course” keeps coming up around Camp Big Wheel these days as the results we seek (as Athletes) often take more time and patience to achieve than we expect.
•
It’s normal to be impatient, it happens to all of us, Coaches too!
•
But that’s why we seek the wisdom and experience of champions like Coach Wooden who reiterates the need for us to “stay the course”.
•
It is said that good things come to those that wait…
•
But for endurance athletes like us it might be better said that “good results come to those of us that ‘stay the course’ and persevere through setbacks!”
•
Success in sport and in life takes time and plenty of discipline, hence why Coach Wooden reminds us that when adversity arises, we should continue to grind, only harder and smarter!
•
Athlete Highlight: has had a solid start to the season tackling the 3/4 and 2/3 categories at all the crits this year.
•
And he is getting better with each race!
•
Faster, stronger, more confident, and savvy.
•
But it’s not always been easy for Greg, there have been a few tough races, but each time he has bounced back in a way that would make Coach Wooden proud.
•
Reaffirming his commitment to training and getting better after each “thwart”!
•
Great work Greg! Keep up the solid effort and thank you for showing us what perseverance can look like!
•
You rock, Buddy!

What is the first thing that pops into your mind when you read Mr Ali’s famous quote?
•
Buying better shoes to ride in?
•
For us, we are reminded of the great book “They Call Me Coach” in which famed basketball coach, John Wooden describes instructing his collegiate basketball players on how to properly put on their socks.
•
Long before he taught his players winning strategies, Coach Wooden taught his national-caliber Athletes how to take care of their feet.
•
Because if their feet were blistered or injured his players would miss valuable practice time.
•
And missed practice time translated into poor team cohesion and losses.
•
In endurance sport, this concept plays out much the same, in that when ignored, little details like under-fueling, poor bike fit, lack of recovery, and over-shooting training targets end up causing setbacks that become very difficult to bounce-back from.
•
So as silly as it seems, yes, Mr Ali is correct in that it normally it is not the mountains ahead that derail us from achieving our goals, its most often our daily habits and distractions.
•
So today, this week, and all season long, don’t lose your focus on the small details, because disciplined daily habits will propel you toward your goals much faster than you would ever imagine.
•
Athlete Highlight: knows a thing or two about daily discipline and staying consistent in his training. In the not so distant past he had to miss a season or two of racing in order to focus on family and his professional goals.
•
But he remained disciplined about his training and dreamed about racing alongside his teammates, as it is one of his favorite things to do. That commitment and consistency paid dividends as he is back to racing this season and looking strong too!
•
We are biased but it sure is good to have Byron back in the peloton and at the pointy end of the local races!
•
Chapeaux Byron! Thank you for showing us what consistency looks like and how to keep the “little things” from derailing us in our pursuit of sporting goals.
•
You rock Brother!

Temps have dropped and the races are fantastic!

Lots of great results, mentoring & community time!

Thank you ahead and Kris for an awesome day of racing!

One year ago our coaches did a Strada Rosa Recon ride - in the rain and cold!!

Today - not so much!! Our local weekly Thursday Crit Practice has started and it’s a great place for us to see friends and clients, and get a ripper of a workout!

Coach & Seamus came with ice socks and cold water for everyone - because it was HOT! 🥵

Coach got a great workout and 2 laps with Seamus!

16 yrs ago we were out there handing out popsicles after the ride. We love our local community, bikes and all the people we get to ride and work with!

The road less traveled…
•
For those with a passion for sport, taking the road less traveled, is a daily choice.
•
An opportunity to do something challenging, to stretch our limits, and yes, to seek adventure.
•
If Mr Frost was a roadie we’d like to think he might have travelled to Europe to ride the high-mountains of le Tour de France or the centuries old pavé of the Flandrian Classics.
•
If he was into gravel, he would probably train for UnBound, the BWR series, or Gravel Worlds in Nebraska.
•
But if he owned a Shred-Sled, and could do only one bucket-list event, we are sure Mr Frost would grab a friend and go to the Absa Cape Epic in South Africa!
•
It’s EIGHT stages of epic mountain-biking that covers approximately 430-miles with 52,000’ of climbing… and you have to do it all with a partner!
•
Without a doubt, it’s a challenge for the rider that consistently chooses the road less traveled!
•
And we are excited to coach one such adventurer… The one and only Ms .
•
As a multi time world and national champion, Tammy has been a competitor all her life and this year, actually right now, as you read this, she is racing (and leading her category) the most epic mountain bike race on the planet.
•
The Cape Epic is physically demanding and the trails are quite technical, not to mention the extreme heat, post-stage transfers, and epically long race routes all demand an Athlete be their absolute best just to finish each day.
•
So it only makes sense that Tammy would bring her lifetime of experience and race savvy to tackle this challenging event.
•
We couldn’t be more proud of Tam-Tam, not to mention thankful for her example that reminds us to choose the road less traveled a bit more often because adventure, success, and fun lie down that path!
•
Please help us wish Tammy and her teammate Rhonda “Good Luck” as they continue to lead their age-category at The Cape and show the younger masters racers what they are made of.
•
Smash it girls, we are rooting for you!!!

It is said that fortune favors the bold…
•
And most certainly, success comes to those that take action.
•
But more than action, it seems that pairing a desire to seize opportunity with action is the super-charged formula that can transform an ordinary day at the races into something incredible.
•
Athlete Highlight: headed to Texas this weekend to join his new team, the as they took on the gravel race, which is punctuated by a Friday night “Dirt Crit” and a Saturday 95-mile gravel epic that blends sand, cross winds, heat, and plenty of Texas undulation to make for a supremely difficult race course.
•
Although Kash has never raced a criterium of any sort, he lined up ready to take on the challenge and make the most of this high speed, and notoriously rowdy, racing format.
•
And boy, did he ever seize the opportunity!
•
Kash ducked, weaved, drifted, pedaled, and sprinted his way onto the podium, bring home a heard earned and well-deserved 3rd place finish.
•
It was an incredible racing performance that we couldn’t be more proud of.
•
Congratulations Kash, what a ride Buddy!!!

Oftentimes “coaching” and parenting are one and the same… which is how we got to today’s topic.
•
Coach Brian and Séamus The Nugget were doing house chores over the weekend when one chore had to “get done the hard way”, if you know what we mean.
•
It took struggle and hard work to complete the task.
•
No fancy tools, hacks, AI support, YouTube University or neighborly wisdom to help us get the job done, just some hard work and struggle.
•
The outcome was only a job complete and some extra fatigue for our efforts.
•
But it was a healthy reminder of Mr Douglass’ wisdom, “where there is no struggle, there is no progress.”
•
And it made us think about our Athletes.
•
Although it can be unpleasant and uncomfortable to struggle, that struggle is the oven that forges a stronger more capable Athlete!
•
Thus we cannot shy away from the struggle of training and must “lean into” it regularly in order to help us achieve our goals!
•
Athlete Highlight: .0 has been “on the grind”, so to speak in training for quite some time and at this weekends in Arizona his hard work paid off with a win in his age group!
•
It was a hot and brutal day on the UnRoads of Arizona in what is a notoriously challenging and difficult event.
•
Chad, battled the heat and technical trials to earn himself a fantastic result against some very solid bike riders.
•
Great work Chad! You rocked it, Buddy!
•
We are so proud of you and thrilled that all the hard work has paid off with an incredible result to kick off your gravel season! Well done Brother!

It’s time to sign up for Redlands Strada Rosa!

Our trails will be PRIME and beautiful. The rain and snow have left them in great shape!

Being our “home race” all within 0.25-10 miles from our door, it’s always a favorite for us and our athletes!

2 excellent routes!

3 aid stations supported by local bike shops

Route WILL BE MARKED this year!!

Amazing meal and fellowship after the ride.

All proceeds go to local Redlands-area non-profits!

Commitment is purposeful action repeated…
•
And that repetition builds incredible momentum that propels us toward our targets!
•
Ms Wood’s quote reminds us that the momentum we desire builds as soon as we make the commitment to take action toward our goals.
•
Pretty simple, but absolutely effective advice…
•
In fact, the best kind, as far as we are concerned!
•
Athlete Highlight: has been working diligently the past few years to prepare for his varsity season of racing and he has started the year on a high-note! Dylan is off to a great start and has seen improvement at each of the first two rounds of SoCal racing. Bettering his result at each event.
•
We couldn’t be more proud of Dylan, his hard work these last few seasons, and the momentum he has ahead of the next few rounds of racing!
•
Keep up the good work Dylan, you rip, Dude!
