guest — Fri, 03 May 2013 14:35:28 GMT

Hi guys,

Packet pick-up beings at 6am on Saturday, show and go start 7a-9a. Beautiful route, flat course, great ride! Let me know if interested, thanks!

Sports Conditioning / Cross Training

guest — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 05:26:19 GMT

Increase your athlete's overall sports performance and improve his/her cardiovascular endurance while he/she conditions for sports. Combining interval cross training with weight training exercises and plyometric drills, I will assist your son/daughter in building strength, power and increasing his/her speed. I will also incorporate cross fitness workout drills to increase his/her range of motion and improve his/her endurance and mental alertness.

Interval Cross Training is short periods of high intensity exercise followed by short rest periods. Interval Cross Training also improves cardiovascular health, develops/increases muscle mass and burns body fat. My goals are simple: build strength, increase range of motion, and improve foot speed and agility. I know that sports conditioning is not easy.

"Sports Conditioning equals injury prevention."

Specialized Tarmac SL3 Expert Mid-Compact 2012 -- Less than 70 miles

guest — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:15:17 GMT

Brand new 2012 Tarmac SL3 Expert Mid-Compact with less than 70 miles of very light riding on it. It does not get any newer outside the show room floor. Unfortunately for me the sizing is off (size 58) and I need a size 56 instead.

The bike is fantastic; stiff and responsive and surprisingly comfortable. Without a doubt one of the best performing and looking bikes available.

Bike is completely stock with standard specs; nothing has been switched out. Full details on the bike can be found on the Specialized site: http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBCProduct.jsp?spid=61557&scid=1101&scname=Road

Looking for $3300 OBO. I paid $3,900. Feel free to email me any questions.

The second annual Closer to Free Ride to benefit Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven will take place on September 8, 2012, beginning and concluding at the Yale Bowl Complex in New Haven. Three professionally-designed, safe and scenic routes of 25, 62.5 and 100 miles will travel through communities including: Branford, Chester, Clinton, Deep River, Durham, East Haven, Essex, Guilford, Killingworth, Madison, New Haven, North Branford, Old Saybrook, Wallingford and Westbrook. Cancer survivors, patients, families, friends, trained athletes and riders of all skill levels and abilities take part in this fundraising ride. Each participating cyclist pay a $100 registration fee and raise a minimum of $400 to ride. The goal of the ride is to raise $1 million which will help to expand cancer research and clinical programs at Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale New-Haven. If biking is not your thing, there are plenty of ways to contribute. We’re looking for energetic volunteers to help on ride day. We provide training, food and drink, and a t-shirt. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to fundraise. For more information, please visit the ride website at www.rideclosertofree.org or e-mail rideclosertofree@ynhh.org. Rider and volunteer registration opens March 1, 2012.

Road Bike Skills Book

guest — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 05:09:11 GMT

Hi, all. I just wanted to mention that earlier this year I published the book Watch Your Line: Techniques to Improve Road Bike Handling Skills.

In the book I present what I call the "Four-P's" to help organize and recall the techniques and drills presented to develop and reinforce improved road bike handling skills.

The Four-P principles are:

Position
Pedal
Precision
Practice

Reviews have been very positive. Whether you are a new rider or seasoned veteran, I think you will enjoy the book and pick up a few pointers.

The book is available in print and Kindle on Amazon.com, on iTunes for your Apple device, and on Smashwords.com in ePub and other formats.

http://www.amazon.com/Watch-Your-Line-Second-Techniques/dp/1463517629

I hope you like the book and I look forward to your feedback!

Best regards,

Alan Canfield
