Ride hard, keep the wheels down. Monday, September 29, 2014. Deerfly Chase 2014–close but…. What is it with this beautiful weather last weekend in September the past 4 years? 160; Some say good luck, I’m thinking it’s the Deerfly Chase MTB race…. Now the good fortune of racing an end-of-the-season-burnt-out Nathan Lillie like last year wasn’t in the cards, if anything the odds were tilting the other way as I came in on a still healing fractured left hand that was about as appreciative of downhills,...

Ride hard, keep the wheels down: December 2012
http://aaronswanson.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Ride hard, keep the wheels down. Monday, December 31, 2012. Recaping Cross Season first… champ races to follow. Promptness while always appreciated, ain’t always possible…. I’m lucky to get to the start line on time for a race so posting updates on may take time getting there. With two years of hosting rights for the US National Cyclocross Championships. Occurring in the Midwest (Verona, WI) this year, along with the World Championship Cyclocross. In 2011 I learned the ropes of this system on the fly....

http://aaronswanson.blogspot.com/2014/07/upcoming-races.html
Ride hard, keep the wheels down. Monday, July 14, 2014. Life’s been on a roller coaster since my last post. Probably the reason for not getting in any posts since. I keep thinking to myself… someday, someday…. In a nutshell, training is coming along, there were some low’s but last race at the Chippewa Valley Firecracks ( www.wors.org. Confirmed maybe, just maybe this change of routine is working. More on that later…. It’s really profoundly changed some belief’s I’ve held. . View my complete profile.

Ride hard, keep the wheels down: November 2012
http://aaronswanson.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Ride hard, keep the wheels down. Monday, November 26, 2012. The Conspiracy or the Equalizer….Why does everyone get a head start? Princeton Valley Cyclo-cross race…. Guess rumor got out to the folks at Overdrive Cycling. That I’d be attending this years Princeton Valley Cyclo-cross race in Eau Claire on the Sat after Thanksgiving. Trevor Koss and the rest of crew doing the 60minute race got a good margin from the get go, I’d be out of the running. Guess what! 160; They were right! 160; . Finally the eff...

Ride hard, keep the wheels down: Old guy with crazy powers….
http://aaronswanson.blogspot.com/2014/10/old-guy-with-crazy-powers.html
Ride hard, keep the wheels down. Friday, October 17, 2014. Old guy with crazy powers…. Yeah, gotta love defying conventional wisdom. Take 11 years of training and keep breaking thru to new peaks. It’s been post season power testing the past 2 weeks. Despite all the personal challenges and adversity of this past year. Cranked out some awesome power tests. . Here’s a reference, much loved cyclist Jens Voight, last month set the world 1hr TT record. 160; Does that effort hurt? I’ve got a point in a...

Ride hard, keep the wheels down: March 2013

Ride hard, keep the wheels down. Thursday, March 14, 2013. Product Reviews: Shimano XC50N Shoe and Leyzne HV Micro Pump and Leyzne Dirt floor HV Pump. If you spend enough time riding, fixing and being around MTB bikes over time you find things that live up and beyond your expectations; Those that match it; and unfortunately those things that are exceeding underwhelming. 160; Shimano shoes have always had the best fit. . What I like so much about the Shimano XC50N. This past weekend. I tried to...160; A...

Ride hard, keep the wheels down. Wednesday, October 2, 2013. Deerfly Chase 2013…. Almost forgot how to blog this season… more miles in the legs, more demands in life, work and family, and so funny that’s what seems to happens. Despite the lack of updates, the season has been a good one and with plenty of stories. Most recently the Deerfly Chase. With the Chequamegon 40 and Fat Tire festival. As it turns out, a cast of characters both old and new were there at Hickory Ridge trails start line ready ...

Ride hard, keep the wheels down: Getting around too…recaping ‘13
http://aaronswanson.blogspot.com/2014/01/getting-around-toorecaping-13.html
Ride hard, keep the wheels down. Monday, January 20, 2014. Getting around too…recaping ‘13. I used to have a standard to try and blog no less than once a month… I think that got blown to bits in 2013. Different training, lot’s of different stuff going on in life and most of all lot’s of writers block. Not to say I didn’t get out some fun musings on a few races. But still so many other good stories to share that I missed telling. . While those numbers made great for bragging rights, they still left some...

Ride hard, keep the wheels down: May 2013
http://aaronswanson.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Ride hard, keep the wheels down. Monday, May 20, 2013. Cable Area Off Road Classic…. Big thanks to the people who put on the event and the ALL the fellow racers that came out and made it exciting this year. It sorta had that old school MTB feel this year - back to when there wasn’t zillions of miles of single track available. It was challenging it’s own right and required some good skills and efforts. Though I’d brought both the Trek Superfly hardtail and Trek Cronus cross bike, I was going try my...
