Pinarello got Pez'ed

Pez cycling news just did a review of the Pinarello FP3. This is the little brother to the Prince, which is the race bike for Team Bissell. How appropriate is that?!?!?

When purchasing Cereal, buy KELLOGS!!!

As most athletes know, carbohydrates are very important to performance and recovery. Before a workout, simple sugars and some protein in a 4:1 ratio can help boost the blood sugar while the protein helps regulate the insulin, meaning you'll get a controlled amount of energy in your blood stream. While I do not recommend solid foods 2 hours before threshold or above efforts, I would highly recommend a nice bowl of cereal before long rides. Plus, IF you are going to the grocery store, you owe it to yourself to buy Kellogs brands. "Why Kellogs?" you might ask... Well, because they are putting their money where their mouth is and supporting the sport by sponsoring Team Bissell. As part of their sponsorship, they will be trying to be more involved with the sport and that will in turn pay all of us cyclists back. Oh yeah, they also make very healthy food for breakfast, snacks, and even a well placed desert (Baer Naked Peanut Butter Granola with yogurt and a banana). Nutra-Grain bars also make a good low calorie snack to fend of that late morning hunger.

Ride hard and eat well!

Veronika Lenzi's Pictures from Bissell Training Camp

Veronika Lenzi came to camp and took plenty of pictures too. Here is here site.

Back to the Cube Farm

Well, it is back to the office for me at least for the next few months. Life is good, but it sure feels like hitting the brakes hard. From having a whole week with Bissell to concentrate of biking, eating, and recovery to meetings, meetings, meetings (a.k.a. The 3 M's of 3M), it sure is a different type of work. I am just glad I am having the opportunity to do both.

Bissell Training Camp - Day 7

Today was a helluv a ride. The 120 miles of pain dished out by Skaggs Road and the Smash Brothers was hard, but I loved every second of it.
Here is a picture of Olympic bronze medalist and Bissell team mate Peter Latham.

The man, myth, and legend lives on!!!!

Beautiful Pinarellos waiting for their jockeys to remount for the surge back into Santa Rosa.
