I have an 808/404 zipp setup on my Caad9 for Sunday. To give you an idea of the quality of this aluminum frame, the mavic neutral support vehicles are equipped with Caad 9 frames as shown below: NYC Triathlon is four days away and my expectation is to finish in under 3 hours. A good [...]
During my training rides at Prospect and Central park this weekend, I felt strains on my neck and lower back but not due to an injury. The aero position engaged different muscles and need to put more time to allow my body to adapt. This is when “specificity of training” comes into play. So is [...]

I woke up today at 5 am to take my new bike for a test ride in central park. I’ve done a few laps before on my mountain bike and was pacing about 26 mins per lap. With the new road bike, my pace dropped by 5 mins to 21 mins per lap. My average [...]
