I had long forgotten about the impromptu interview/chat at XTERRA Alabama with Mike Huebner from Stuffitts.
This morning I accidentally spotted a @Stuffitts Tweet. Mike has been a busy man, he edited and managed to create a coherent video clip from the couple of hours we chatted at the Oak Mountain State Park.
Considering I literally ran [...]

This is a quick post to explain to John Harrington (facebook discussion on 24 August ) about clipping tires.

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 [...]

Got this new toy from the good folks at Specialized. Quarq power meter which I run through a Garmin Edge 500 ANT+ unit. I’m new at using these tools. All I really need is Watts and interval time, but this thing is loaded with info- easy to get lost. Disappointed in the vagueness of the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m very lucky to have a full quiver of Specialized bikes to chose from!
After watching a few youtube videos on the Waco course, I decided to travel to Waco with my 29er Epic (Aluminium)- it loves rocky, rooty and twisty.  But 30min into pre riding the course on wednesday I had to “call a friend” [...]

Caveboy. (or Cowman- Cowboy Caveman?) Renata Bucher’s 1st big win in the US Xterra Series
