Tales from the Peloton!: January 2010

http://talesfromthepeloton.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

None are worthy enough to guest-blog on Tales From The Peloton. But TFTP might have done a little guest-blogging over on Texas Cycling. Links to this post. Cycling in Townsend and The Smoky Mountains. A recent winter trip to Tennessee found me in Townsend with a bike and spare time on my hands. Here's a list of my ride reports:. Rides 1 and 2 - Cades Cove. Ride 3 - Foothills Parkway and Tail of the Dragon. Ride 4 - Wears Valley to Pigeon Forge. I found the Tail of the Dragon. Links to this post. It was n...

Tales from the Peloton!: May 2009

http://talesfromthepeloton.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

One of our Tales From The Peloton correpsondents sat down with Jacob yesterday to discuss one of the more interesting members of his cycling team. So what's the story behind the Texas Loggerhead? Well, a few years ago, in the wee hours of the morning, one of the treasurers at Texas Cycling was set to order some letterhead for the team. But in a coffee induced stupor, she accidentaly adopted a loggerhead turtle off the coast of Hawaii. We named him Yurtle.". Well, as always, it's been a pleasure.". Damian...

Tales from the Peloton!: Eurotrash Weekend

http://talesfromthepeloton.blogspot.com/2010/04/eurotrash-weekend.html

I thought about quitting. But that would dishonor my mustache and cycling cap. Street Sprints later. I'll do them if they happen. Must honor the stache. Crit tomorrow. Same weather as today. I anticipate a lot of crashes. Thank you for reading the most boring race report this blog has ever bequeathed to the populace. I'm feeling generous, here's a photo of Vladimir Karpets:.

Tales from the Peloton!: July 2009

http://talesfromthepeloton.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Le Tour de Force. The epic tale is now complete. Relive it in all it's glory in this, the hub of the multi-storied saga. Consider it a TiVo of sorts. A Texas Cat 4 cyclist finds himself at the center of a desperate powerplay that could rock the world of professional cycling. Full of espionage, deceit, machine guns and chamois, can this humble cyclist save the Tour de France? Episode 1 - An Unexpected Errand. Episode II - In a Cool Place, Things Hot Up. Episode III - Like a Pigeon Among Cats. 8220;I&#8217...

Tales from the Peloton!: Sorry folks

http://talesfromthepeloton.blogspot.com/2010/03/sorry-folks.html

Tales from the Peloton has been banned by the UCI. I enjoyed it, other people enjoyed it, but I haven't the time anymore. March 4, 2010 at 11:27 PM. March 7, 2010 at 4:12 AM. Its been real, Jacob. Mad props, you had the funniest blog this side of Wooly Mammoth. March 18, 2010 at 11:45 PM. March 18, 2010 at 11:55 PM. Jacob never leaves, he just changes things up. This blog will probably host new things in the future, but not new things like my old things. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). K to the J.

Tales from the Peloton!: April 2009

http://talesfromthepeloton.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Lance: Dude, I’ve been a huge fan of yours for a long time, it’s an honor to finally meet you. Jacob: Thanks Lance, you too. Lance: Hey, after the race, can you sign my copy of your book, ‘It’s not about the Blog’? Lance: Wow, cool, thanks. You know, your story of going through college while maintaining peak performance at the Cat 4 level has been really inspiring for both me and my friends. Jacob: Enough about me though, how’ve you been? Jacob: Why’s that? Lance: The balls, Jacob, the balls. Lance: In t...

Tales from the Peloton!: Rides 1 & 2 - Cades Cove

http://talesfromthepeloton.blogspot.com/2010/01/rides-1-2-cades-cove.html

Rides 1 and 2 - Cades Cove. Cycling in Cades Cove starting at The Y and ending in Townsend. Aborted Cades Cove ride. The heavy snow over the weekend meant that the road up to Cades Cove was closed, so my dad and I got dropped off and took our bikes up it. There was snow in abundance so everything looked nice and the road was closed to cars, so it was very pleasant despite being freezing or so. Cycling Cades Cove, successful this time. This time we actually made it into Cades Cove. See map here. K to the J.

Tales from the Peloton!: Ride 3 - Foothills Parkway and Tail of the Dragon

http://talesfromthepeloton.blogspot.com/2010/01/ride-3-foothills-parkway-and-tail-of.html

Ride 3 - Foothills Parkway and Tail of the Dragon. Cycling through Foothills Parkway and then the Tail of the Dragon, one of the hardest and most rewarding rides I've done. At the top of the climb, there's a large parking lot with a scenic view and a ranger station nearby. From there, it's a good 8 miles of downhill until you reach 129 and take a left towards North Carolina. Chilhowee Lake will be on your right side, something which I had overlooked in planning the ride, so it was a nice surprise. And fo...
