Looking Backwards; Looking Forwards

Here's to another year of riding bikes far places. Here are some of my favorite photos from the year gone by.

Capitol Forest, Olympia, WA
My first trip of the year was up to Washington with a close friend. I rode through Capitol Forest solo. I love the greenery, I was just getting used to my new camera and really had fun with it.
SFR Fleche
I got more involved with the San Francisco Randonneurs last year
In May I won the Medusa's Revenge Alleycat, the first big race I ever won.
A Dubiously Easy Manny Mission
Before I left for Trans Am I got one last Manny ride in. Haven't been on one since, which sucks since Manny rides are never a bad time.
Tenth place #transam #transambikerace #victory #bike #bikepacking #rideyerbike #steelisreal
Then of course, the highlight of the year, finishing tenth in the Trans Am in 22 days. I could have just posted all photos of this, thanks to everyone who supported me on this ride, seriously, to know that my friends and family had my back was awesome.
Adirondacks
Then I went on bike tour, breaking my camera and losing my photos from my replacement camera. I finally got out to the Adirondacks, a place I feel I took for granted growing up in NY.
Walmart, Oroville, CA
Once I got back to the Bay I raced in the first Trans Northern California, I raced the wrong bike and pushed hard.
BASP Sierra Point Night Race


This was my first year racing cyclocross. I'm already looking forward to focusing more on CX next year.



2014 was a great year, now I'm going into 2015 with a slew of adventure races coming up, here's the rough breakdown of what I have coming up;
  • April 3rd: Stagecoach 400 (date may change)
  • April 10th: Tour de los Padres
  • May 22: Oregon Outback 360 (I may skip this one)
  • June 15th: Tour Divide
  • September 10th: Fire and Ice
Before that I have some late season CX racing, early season MTB racing, and the Grasshopper Series coming up, plus maybe some Gravel Gauntlet rides in the South Bay. Should be a good one, hope to see you out there.
