  • Tour du Rwanda: A Racing Experience That Extends Beyond the Finish Line

    by Sam Boardman September 30, 2018

    I sit on the back of a motorcycle-taxi and grip the driver’s hips with my thighs as we zoom through the lamp-lit streets of Kigali. We weave in between cars and dodge other motorcycles as we go on my way to dinner with my teammates.…

  • Knoxville, You’re Pretty Awesome: Marc-Pro Cycling Heads to US Pro Nats

    by Sam Boardman July 10, 2018

    It seems like it’s been an abysmal year for the American road racing calendar. First, The Tour of the Gila showed record-low turnout rates for competitors in both the men’s and women’s field, with word getting around the peloton that the race organizer/owner was funding…

  • Copperopolis Road Race: 3rd Place Finish for Sam Boardman

    by Sam Boardman April 6, 2018

    THE CONTEXT: It’s been a little under a week since I completed my first Copperopolis, and I’m still managing to find tiny little asphalt bits in places I didn’t even know existed. I guess that’s why they call it asphalt. Get it? Because it gets…

  • Race Recap: North Star Gran Prix

    by Sam Boardman June 25, 2017

    The team would arrive to the Twin Cities area from all over the country, with some members flying in from either Los Angeles, California or Reston, Virginia, and the rest driving up just after finishing Tulsa Tough down in Oklahoma. Blake Anton and Willie Myers…

  • Belgian Waffle Ride: Race Report

    by Sam Boardman May 25, 2017

    I rolled into the finishing shoot, cramping and crying out with pain, my face contorted in both shock and exhaustion at the fact that I had just spent the past seven hours racing my bike on roads, dirt, dust, mud, wooden bridges, piles of sand,…

  • 2017 Team Camp Recap

    by Sam Boardman April 1, 2017

    With the season fully underway, the team took some time away from racing to get acquainted with each other and our sponsors at the 2017 Herbalife24 p/b Marc Pro-Nature’s Bakery team camp! Located in beautiful San Anselmo in Marin County this year, the camp featured a hat-trick…

  • Biking in the Rain: What Should You Do to Have a Good Time?

    by Sam Boardman February 19, 2017

    I will admit, my first thought when writing this was to just type in “Don’t” and leave it at that. Training in the rain is still a bit of a novelty to me. Up until this year, I had only ever enjoyed my hours on…

  • Race Report: Santa Barbara County Road Race and the Carlos Soto Memorial Criterium (1/28-1/29/2017)

    by Sam Boardman February 2, 2017

    Everything about my first road race weekend of 2017 was what I wanted it to be: relaxed, crash free, and fueled on a diet of almost exclusively Mexican food. Did I win either race? Ha. No. Did I get a top-ten in either race? Nuh-uh.…

  • ‘Tis the Season

    by Sam Boardman January 24, 2017

    There is always uncertainty going in a new season. Truly, I don’t think I’m going out on a limb by saying that, as I think every competitive cyclist can relate. UnitedHealthcare’s Tayler Wiles recently wrote in a piece for Cyclingtips about the start to the…
