Off Season
Off the couch Ironman
by Blake Anton April 20, 2020When I was a teenager in middle school, I started a bucket list of crazy things I wanted to do before I pass. Hike the John Muir Trail, ride my bike across the country, do an Ironman… With the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down a lot…
Old Caz Grasshopper: Building Confidence
by Sam Bassetti February 1, 2017The Grasshopper Adventure Series are some of my favorite events of the year. I have used the Old Caz Hopper as a perfect early season race for quite a few years now. For the first time this year, I had a cross bike and was…
Holding On and Letting Go
by Timothy Rugg December 10, 2016The computer mount on my handlebars is held together by electrical tape. Wrapped in an infinity-like design it somehow holds the mount and my Wahoo cycling computer in place for at least a little while longer. My cleats don’t make a clicking sound when I…

2012 Dorothy McAlieden Park Sagebrush Cyclocross Race Report
by Nick Schaffner October 5, 2012The first Reno Wheelmen Sagebrush Cyclocross race of the year was held at Dorothy McAlieden just a few miles north of Reno in Stead. This race hurt. I had done the Race Around Lake Tahoe earlier that morning, and arrived in Stead with just enough time…
Early winter riding isn't so bad…
by Forrest Huisman November 18, 2011Although the intro may be mellow, it’s immaculately shot, and reminds me of the anticipation that comes from planning the next trip, prepping the bike, approaching the trailhead and gearing up for singletrack bliss. For me, the film makers’ articulate attention to creative cinematography and final…
