Small mountain of Clif Shots in Africa. A sight for sore eyes indeed.
Dear North Americans: Edible Gold, also known as”Clif Bars” do not exist everywhere on this earth. Appreciate it, dammit!
When I come to South Africa for training, I take 2 pieces of carry on: 1 a “small laptop bag or personal item” and the [...]

My blogging mentor, Nikola Tosic (he probably wont like the definition) posted this interview with my coach, Ian Rodger on EliteCiao.com
The interview made me laugh out loud. (LOL, right?) OMG, it totally gives you a glimpse into Ian’s quirky character.

He stayed at my house in Stellenbosch this week, and this is where he made himself [...]

I know ALL about time trailing- as long as its sandwiched between swimming and running. Here is a pic from ITU World Cup 1996? in Bermuda, wearing my favourite outfit and sporting my first free bike.  A Sunn, I had to give back to Montpellier Triathlon club in France at the end of the season. [...]

Just got this puppy in the mail, thanks to the folks at Specialized USA. The new UCI legal SHIV 3. The raw carbon looks great, (there was no time for a paint job) its got 55/44 Rotor rings, Quarq powermeter and the special Fabian Cancellara conversion.
Getting ready for South African TT Championships in 2 [...]

I had a dream:

But oh damn. A broken rim! Caveman-ized  into total oblivion. My mountain bike mantra of :
Low air, big gear, no fear!
does not work so well with my KTM 950 Adventure’s Butter Rims:

Wakey wakey. Its Christmas! And there is some training to be done.

A hearty breakfast to put the POW in Power. Some of us has Avia AVI STOLTZ for breakfast…

2010 Urban Rage: a 2km downtown Durban course with natural and man made obstacles. A lot of them quite intimidating- skinny bridges over water, a 6m high BMX style start ramp, a BMX track,  a  big drop and some serious berms. And not a single rock. The Caveman loves rocks. (Will have to make do [...]

The “professors” at XTERRA University the day before the race. XTU is a 90 min session where a few pros talk about the Art of Xterra, the course, equipment, nutrition and take questions from the audience.  Lesley Paterson, Josiah Middaugh and the other guy. Not sure what I was talking about here. (Now that we [...]

I never tire of this episode from XTERRA Richmond Virginia 2009. “Tire” pun intended…
Dan Hugo and I  pre rode the XTERRA Richmond course shortly after our arrival from XTERRA Northwest Cup in Coeur D’Alene, where I had a 4 inch nail puncture my tubeless tire in 2 places. See previous blog.
My replacement [...]

Seriously Bobby, you need 8 tooth cleaning tools? (ok 4, if you dont count the ones in the mirror)
On a recent trip to Keystone Colorado for the Specialized 2011 product launch, I shared a room Specialized Team Manager, Bobby Behan, who is a very very organized guy. (“like, you know”- Irish accent) When on the [...]

Hats off to the XTERRA TV crew and Whit Raymond (commentating)- those guys surely knows how to make one look good.
Thanks for the good times and good memories!

Heavily modified Caveman cast
My 2005 off season reading was Brian Lopes’ book on mountain biking skills. As a fairly competent mountain biker, I was amazed at how much there is still to learn about the art of making an off road bicycle go fast.
My favorite quote from the book was: “if you [...]

2008 XTERRA Worlds
The Caveman’s somewhat-secret XTERRA tips.
“Somewhat secret” because I borrowed (and modified) the article from my “All” (previous blog posts)  page.
• XTERRA is a strong mans race. An endurance event. Don’t let the seemingly short distances fool you. Forget about 400 repeats on the track and all-out sprints on [...]

Veins like baby carrots?
Knife too sharp?
