Trailer - Zoe Goes Runnging - The Film: Running the Tour de France from Alexander Kreher Photography on Vimeo.
Zoë Romano will be the first person to RUN the route of the Tour de France. I will join her to document that adventure.
This summer Richmonder Zoë Romano will become the first person ever to RUN the Tour de France. Zoë is such an inspiring person with a really exciting adventure laying in front of her - I think her story not only deserves to be documented, it needs to be!
On May 18, Zoë will set out on an 9-week trek in Nice and log 30-35 miles a day until she reaches the finish in Paris on July 20 (one day ahead of the peloton). That’s right-- more than a marathon every day.
I will accompany her to France and produce a full-length documentary about her journey.
Zoë and I previously worked together on “Street Dreams”, an award-winning short documentary which I created about Zoë’s run across the United States in 2011. (https://vimeo.com/27590074)

Eagan: There's just no more road to share
Eagan: There's just no more road to share

Boston’s streets aren’t wide enough for bikes and cars. It’s as simple as that.
To me, it’s not a debate about reckless drivers or reckless bicyclists. It’s about inches. Inches is how close my ’07 Toyota — 21⁄2 tons of steel and iron and chrome — comes to the unprotected bicyclists I pass every day.
I’ve been driving forever. Bicyclists still make me nervous. My
nightmare: that I may not swerve fast enough to avoid a bicyclist who
comes into my lane. Or worse: It’s nighttime or it’s raining and I don’t
see them at all. And I hit them.
How do you ever live with that? Continue Reading

Diamond Bar to Newport Beach - Fixed
Yesterday Michael and I rode to the beach. It was an early ride, on the road by 5:30 am, but it was well worth it.
I get a bit of anxiety, whenever we start from Mike's house. You see, Mike lives at the very top of Grand Ave., in DB and it's no joke of a hill climb. After 68 plus miles of riding, this last bit of climbing hurts so bad.
With that said, when we headed out I was tired and feeling anxious. The anxiety wore off as we made our way through Brea Canyon and Kraemer Blvd. By SART, it was a distant memory.
Once on SART we were greeted with a monster of a headwind. The headwind slowly wore me down and I was beat by the time we made it to Newport. I did my best and my portion of the pulls to get us closer to Newport but with each mile, that darn headwind wouldn't let up.
I needed to be home and in my house by 10:30. It was Adam's last soccer game of the Spring season so the stop off in Newport was short. I ate, Mike went to the bathroom and we were off, heading back the way we came.
On SART, Mike's speed kept creeping up and by Glassell he was cruising at 24 mph. I held on as long as I could but eventually dropped off his pace.
On the streets and heading back to Brea Canyon a group of roadies shouted out, "Get some gears!" I took this as a compliment as we were 60 miles into our epic fixed gear ride.
On Brea Canyon, I started to feel some minor cramping so I slowed down a bit. Mike rode on and we met up just before Diamond Bar Blvd. From there we rode together back to his house.
We finished this ride in just under 4 hours. I was home in plenty if time to catch Adam's final soccer game of the season.

MORGAN HILL, CA (BRAIN) — Representing a significant investment in aerodynamic testing, Specialized
this week unveiled its own on-site bicycle-specific wind tunnel,
enabling the company to apply aero principles across its full product
line.
Due to expense, off-site wind tunnel
testing has been almost exclusively the domain of high-end road race and
time trial bikes. Now, with its own facility and team of aerodynamic
experts under one roof, Specialized can expand tunnel testing all the
way down to its Globe commuter bike line, the company said in a
statement. Click to continue reading
