I am embarrassed the update took me so long but the website is updated!

I have included a summary of 2025, a link to Preston Williams’s podcast interview and his Q&A he did with me.

I hope to hit the road in a couple weeks and give some reports from the route!

Looks like 4 signed up so far at BikeReg! I always hope for 10 total. Don’t forget the 330 option new this year!

Whats your winter riding routine? I realize this is extremely specific to where you live. 45 degrees and sunny is kinda my rule for a casual outside ride during the winter. I joke that my age determines my minimum temp limit. 52 now. Life is still busy in the winter. I work, get home, look for a good hour workout before enjoying family time. No, indoor training doesn't replace out door time. I miss outdoor time but riding in the dark, in the cold, day after day is not my idea of fun. Occasionally, yes. To have fun, yes. Weekend rides, yes. Consistently as a workout? No.

I enjoy Zwift for a workout. It's my gym time.

I've created a winter "Worlds" club on Zwift Companion App for those who care. Club name is Emporia Winter Worlds. Primarily setup to carry on our local Wednesday Worlds through the dark months, I will have race style rides each Wednesday at 7pm CST. 45-60 minutes of power. Blow the lungs up once a week.

Whats your winter riding routine? Does it change much?

DAGNABBIT!!!! All this new fangled junk on the market!!!

As much as I consider myself “old school” and find myself sneering at new tech, I have to admit...I’m spoiled. Even my old Zwift (yes, Zwift...told you...) trainer bike has eTap on it. I mean, yeah, it’s first gen eTap road mech but it’s still eTap.

What’s a piece of old bike tech you swore you’d never leave behind for sparkly new age junk but...you are secretly glad you did and could never go back??

Whats a piece of new bike tech you once made fun of but now find yourself whispering sweet nothings to when alone on your rides?

Me? Duh. Electronic shifting. I rode my old Trek X01 cyclocross bike a month ago and my arthritis still hasn’t let me forget!! ha!!

How do you like your calories on the bike?

Do you go with the scientific method like our amazing friends at ? If so whats your go to bar, gel or chews?

Do you roll gas station style and head for the smell of pizza?? Pepperoni, sausage, chees or roll the dice on the meat eaters?? Fried chicken???

Do you stick to the liquid calorie diet and focus on dem bottles for your ride?

The Leadville 100 was a pretty good race this past weekend, but there is always one question that lingers, is it now a gravel race? I would like to know your thoughts!

A friend of mine, , is putting on his annual Haddam Hounds Hundy group ride. A can’t miss opportunity to see the roads less traveled in Washington County, Kansas. Known for his love on minimum maintenance, Todd and crew never let down!

What’s your weekend plans?

The hotter it gets, the later I find my self riding, and being out side if we are being honest! The sunsets in Kansas are unmatched! I hope you’re getting out and enjoying the sunsets, or sunrises if you’re getting out early!

I know this is a gravel page, but have you all been watching the Tour De France? It has insane so far! It seems like Tadej is putting in a master class, but do you think Jonas can fight back in the last week?? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
