http://spidermonkeycycling.blogspot.com/2012/10/spidermonkey-of-week-jan-van-nuffelen.html
I wanna go fast! Wednesday, October 31, 2012. Spidermonkey of the Week - Jan Van Nuffelen aka The Belgian. My first 7 months in the US. It all started at the end of December 2011. my company offered me a 2-year assignment in the US. It was a bit overwhelming, but I was willing to take the opportunity. I still remember that my biggest concern was the location: Chicago, Illinois … Google maps did not show any topography, all flat. Not ideal for a cyclist!

Last Sunday, Kristi Hanson, Kelly Clarke, Hayes Sanborn, Aaron Byrnes, Peter Monko , PJ Cavoto, Kyle Kershasky, Mark Zalewski, myself went down to the South Side at Dan Ryan Woods to see how they do CX there. We were all there to race, but Katie Isermann was packing heat with Twizzlers and Swedish fish. I had to pull out of the race due to (yet) another flat. Photo by Bill Draper.

SpiderMonkeyCycling: Grace Races Cross In North Carolina
http://spidermonkeycycling.blogspot.com/2012/11/grace-races-cross-in-north-carolina.html
I wanna go fast! Thursday, November 1, 2012. Grace Races Cross In North Carolina. Ok, I know this isn’t a CCC report, but I wanted to share a little bit about the racing I’ve had the chance to enjoy out here in North Carolina. Last weekend I made the trip to Boone, in Western NC (yes it is named for Daniel Boone) with my new UNC teammates to make my collegiate cycling debut! I could hear a UNC teammate yelling for me to “move up! As I came through for the bell lap I got passed by two of them and it was a...

SpiderMonkeyCycling: Spidermonkey of the Week - PJ Cavoto Jr

I wanna go fast! Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Spidermonkey of the Week - PJ Cavoto Jr. I have gotten to know so many of you over the course of the last year and it’s been tremendous. Here’s my journey:. I quickly responded to Dean letting him know it was me, PJ. He obviously informed me that I can’t randomly put that down unless I am an official member of the club and I may get myself and the team in trouble. I am pretty sure the next group ride I put a check in Dean’s hand. Photo by Jen Groen.

Class, we went around the class and said our goals for this season aloud. After all, if you're committing to these trainer classes twice a week through the frigid months, what is your purpose in doing so? Do a track race. Do a mountain bike race. Get a top ten in a W4 CCC race. Mountain biking at Kettle with Anna Loosli. 8221; An...

SpiderMonkeyCycling: Carpentersville
http://spidermonkeycycling.blogspot.com/2012/10/carpentersville.html
I wanna go fast! Wednesday, October 24, 2012. This last weekend was an epic cyclocross montage. There were races on Saturday, Sunday AND my wife was out of town. Thus my house was covered in mess and mud the entire weekend. When I arrived in Carpentersville, I threw my money at the registration girl like a blue chip on the craps table. In my best Vegas Spidermonkey spring training voice, I told her I got some hot dice and to sign me up for the 4B race before I crap out. It’s on. Posted by Kelly Clarke.

SpiderMonkeyCycling: The Chicago Triathlon
http://spidermonkeycycling.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-chicago-triathlon.html
I wanna go fast! Friday, October 12, 2012. I didn't do it. I got close, 2:34:54. The year after, even worse. And last year, I didn't race because I was injured and couldn't run. Which bring me to Aug 26, 2012. I stayed the same pace. I had a feeling I did well, but I didn't know. I crossed the finish line with my arm raised in the air - feeling like I had just won the race. 30-34 age group: 10th place. Oh my god, I did it! Posted by Kelly Clarke. October 12, 2012 at 11:21 AM. Great job and great report!
