Ride a bike, share your experience and love. When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting and so on. This helps me transcend the traffic, ignore the clamorings of work, leave all the mind theaters behind and focus on nature instead. I still must abide by the rules of the road, of biking, of gravity. But I am mentally far away from civilization. The world is breaking someone else's heart. ~Diane Ackerman

Diamond Bar Beach Ride, FIXED

Today was a real treat.  Mike, Scott and I rode to Newport Beach from Diamond Bar.  The treat was we (Mike and I) rode fixed, and by way of Carbon Canyon to Newport Beach.

This was my first time riding thru Carbon Canyon and I was surprised by some of the steep sections thru the canyon.  I wasn't feeling to great in the morning and I was SOOOOOO over the descent and the super high RPMs. 

We made good time and were in Newport Beach at about 8 am.  A quick bio-break, refuel and it was time to head home. The trip home was made thru Brea Canyon.  It was hot and I wasn't going to tackle Carbon Canyon. 

In the end the trip was about 72 miles.  Not to shabby.  

So with all the 72 miles of riding, I only managed to shoot one picture.  It was at the end of the ride and as an unfortunate after thought.

What is a Derny?

You ever see that weird motorcycle / bicycle leading out racers on the track?  Well its called a Derny.

From Wikipedia ...

"A Derny is a motorized bicycle for motor-paced cycling events such as during six-day and Keirin racing, or motor-paced road races. It is driven by a 98cc Zurcher two-stroke engine and by being pedalled through a fixed gear, typically of 70 teeth on the front chainring and 11 on the sprocket on the back wheel. The combination allows for smooth acceleration and slowing, important when the rider taking pace is centimetres from the pacer's shielded back wheel. A coupling between the motor and the back wheel ensures the machine will not stop dead if the motor seizes. Top speed, with rider pedalling, is up to 50kph, depending on gearing."

UCI Track World Cup 2011 - The Derny Explained from British Cycling on Vimeo.
Many casual observers of track cycling might have seen the Derny, and the Keirin race, but there's a good chance that they won't know how it works or what it's for.

Matt Rendell talks to the National Cycling Centre's derny driver, and asks him to give the low down.

Midweek Ride, FIXED

Yesterday, I was able to sneak in an after work ride.  I ended up riding up GMR to the maintenance shed.  I was suprised by the amount of riders heading up. 

Matt rode with me to Newman's and he sure kept the pace fast.  Matt kept talking the whole way up while I was barely able to say simple words like, "Sure" or "Yes" or "Wow".  With Matt in the lead, I sure got my monies worth out of this ride.

I also saw Wayne.  Wayne looks like he dropped a bit of weight.  Unfortunately, I was pressed for time so I didn't get to talk much with him.

Marymoor Velodrome Grand Prix Elite Women's Keirin

'Marymoor Velodrome Grand Prix Elite Women's Keirin Final 2012 Redmond Washington from RideITLikeUstoleIT!!! on Vimeo.
A keirin race is a mass-start race with 6-9[citation needed] sprint riders and a paced start. Riders draw lots to determine starting positions and start as the pacer (usually a motorcycle, a derny, or a tandem bicycle) approaches. The riders are required to remain behind the pacer, which starts at the deliberately slow speed of about 25 km/h, gradually increases in speed and leaves the track approximately 600–700 meters before the end, at a speed of about 50 km/h. The first cyclist to finish the race is the winner (sometimes finishing at 70 km/h). Keirin races are about 2 kilometers in length (eight laps on a 250m track, six laps on a 333m track, and five laps on a 400m track)

VeloJam with the MuleBar Girls and AnaNichoola is a concept based on the belief that something needs to be done to tap into all the women out there who want to be taken seriously and race track. VeloJam attracted and rewarded high level racers as well as providing the opportunity for newcomers to race. It gave women the rare chance to race in a field of just other women.

Chantry Flats and Rose Bowl, FIXED

On Saturday Michael and I decided to ride from San Dimas to Chantry Flats via our fixed gear bikes.  Its been over a year since our last ascent up the mountain, so I was pretty excited about attempting it on my fixed gear.

We left San Dimas Ave. and Bonita at about 6:30 am and started heading to Chantry Flats.  The ride there was pretty straight forward except,  somewhere in Duarte, I was stung by a bee.  Once on Santa Anita things got interesting.  Heading up Santa Anita to the start of Chantry Flats was steep, very steep.  We rested at the base before making our way up the two plus mile trek to Chantry Flats.

The ride up to Chantry Flats was not easy.  I am not sure of the grade, but it's steeper than Glendora Mountain Road for sure.  Michael, riding fixed as well, powered up the mountain ahead of me.  When I met him at the top he said he was thinking "good thoughts" about me the whole way up.  I'm sure his thoughts included things like, "Wow, I really like the way Jason encourages me to ride hard," or, "I am SO thankful Jason invited me on this marvelous ride!"  RIGHT????? Somehow if you ask him, he may have something different to say.

Riding down wasn't bad, with all the twists and turns, I was able to keep my speed in check, and not to mention my ability to skid is getting much better.  Once at the bottom, we felt pretty good and refreshed. Mike asked if we wanted to add some more miles by heading to the Rose Bowl.  Being the team player, I said, "Sure, why not."

While riding to the Rose Bowl, hunger was starting to set in.  We stopped at a Farmers Market in Pasadena, and bought some peaches and figs.  We also helped ourselves to a few free samples of watermelon slices and fresh strawberries.

After the Farmers Market, it was off to the Rose Bowl for one lap and then back home.  I love the houses surrounding the Rose Bowl.  I'm going have to take Jamie there, she'll get a kick home watching.

We made it on fixed gear bikes no doubt!

Michael riding up Santa Anita.  It was steep and painful.

Farmer Market.  These tomatoes and peppers looked delicious.

Proof we actually rode to the Rose Bowl

Feeling good, thumbs up.

Diamond Bar to the Beach, FIXED

Michael and I killed it on fixed gear bikes today.  We headed out at 6:30 am from Diamond Bar and made it to Newport in record time. 

The ride to Newport was fast and @ 46 x 15, we were able to keep our average speed above 20 mph.  They were doing some work on Kraemer so we did take a few detours.  Once on SART, it was smooth sailing.  We kept the pace exciting and made it to Newport in no time. 

Heading back we played leap frog with other cyclist to conserve energy for the long trip back.  Basically we let them pull for us until we had a few minutes to recover before picking up the pace and leap frogging to the next person. 

Once off SART it was just us.  My legs were a bit warm but we managed to keep an average speed between 19 and 20 mph. 

Overall it was a great ride, felt good and energized after leaving Michael's house.

Jason's Skid


I spent the day perfecting my skid, or rather learning how to skid.  It is not easy and I still have much to learn.  Yesterday I posted a tutorial on how to skid.  I found it very helpful and since I've been riding fixed, I figure its time to learn how to properly skid.

I can skid fairly well by throwing my weight forward but, other than looking cool, it does very little in the way of actually stopping me.  And not to mention, throwing your weight forward while bombing down Mt. Baldy is not a very comfortable feeling.

I have seen other guys lock their legs up instantly and I've often wondered how they do this.  The trick seems to be lifting up with your dominate leg, while simultaneously pushing down on the other AND (This is the key) having your knees/inner-thighs pressed into the middle of the top tube.  Night and day!  Skidding becomes much easier.

I am certainly not ready to go brake-less, but yesterdays tutorial was VERY helpful.

Kevin Rides to Fork Plus 5.73

Getting closer and closer with every ride.  Soon enough Kevin will be dropping into Baldy Village.  Last ride it was 4 point something, today its Fork Plus 5.73.  That is only 2.52 measly miles until the next downhill and an easy ride into the village.

Kevin keep it up and keep going, only 2.52 miles (Or Mile Marker 8.29). The stretch between 4.25 and 8.29 is the hardest but with only 2.52 miles left you certainly can do it!

One Very Fast Cyclists

Is this for real?

LA Storica 2012


La Storica 2012 - Materiale preparatorio per il film "L'Ultimo Chilometro" - www.thelastkilometer.com from Stuffilm on Vimeo.
La Storica - 22 Aprile 2012
Footage clip from "The last kilometer", a forthcoming documentary movie - thelastkilometer.com
Out Dec 2012
Pedalata cicloturistica per bici d'epoca su percorso parzialmente sterrato con partenza e arrivo a Pietra Ligure.

Il ciclismo antico, rievocato nei racconti dei nostri anziani, torna oggi alla ribalta, anche per il calo di popolarità che vive lo sport dei giorni nostri, per le brutte vicende legate al doping. Ecco quindi che nasce negli appassionati il desiderio di rievocare le gesta eroiche del ciclismo del passato, sulle strate sterrate, con mezzi pesanti e dal funzionamento rude, ma belli e preziosi con le loro cromature, le selle in cuoio, i telai artigianali e su misura: nasce il desiderio di ricordare ed emulare Binda e Girardengo, Coppi e Bartali, Moser e Saronni che su queste strade venivano ad allenarsi e a correre la "Classicissima".

Estratti dal materiale girato per il film documentario "L'Ultimo Chilometro" - thelastkilometer.com

The last kilometer
1- One kilometer to the finish line. The bunch is all together, every cyclist is tense like a knot of nerves, victory and dreams are still available for each rider. This is bicycle, this is its sport, cycling, a perfect metaphor of life.
2- From the 80's to now cycling has greatly changed. As journalist Gianni Musa says "If you think that every rider now has a transmitter in the ear and is virtually
guided by his car, I would say that this is the end of the adventure". So, is it The Last Kilometer for Cycling?


Synopsis

The Last Kilometer is a movie that faces cycling at 360 degrees through 5 characters, 5 stories:

Ignazio Moser - Francesco Moser's son. Young rider full of strength and dreams, above all the
Paris-Roubaix, the legendary road race in northern France. His father, a constant reference and point of comparison for him, won Paris-Roubaix three years consecutively.
Cadel Evans - international star, first Australian rider to win the Tour de France, last year.
In 2012, everybody's waiting for him. From his winter camp in Spain to the "Grande Boucle" in July, the movie will follow his entire season. Will he be able to repeat in 2012?
Davide Rebellin - 40 years old, last year he returned to victory against all odds.
But after the scandal of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, when he was forced to return his silver medal, for many his name only represents the dark side of cycling, doping.
Gianni Mura - the "suiveur", a well-known italian journalist who every year, since the 60's, writes his Tour de France chronicles. From there, he will provide us the keys of interpretation of this sport.
The Fans - fans and fan clubs willing to follow their idol everywhere, ready to shout for his victories and to soothe his defeat. In particular, we will follow the mythical "El Diablo", a german fan wearing his red devil costume and painting trident symbols on the road some miles before he appears.

The Last Kilometer is the story of a road racing season, but it inevitably turns into a portrait of our passions, motivations, experiences, feelings.
A film with an international slant, as now cycling has become an international sport.
A movie for all those who have been on a bicycle once in their life.

L'Ultimo Chilometro
1- Un chilometro all'arrivo. Il gruppo è compatto, i corridori sono un fascio di nervi tesi, tutti hanno ancora pieno diritto al sogno della vittoria.
Questo è la bicicletta, questo (e molto altro) è il suo sport, il ciclismo, metafora calzante della vita.
2- Dagli anni '80 ad oggi il ciclismo è cambiato radicalmente.
Come dice il giornalista Gianni Mura "Se si pensa che i corridori hanno nelle orecchie una trasmittente e sono teleguidati dall'ammiraglia, si può dire che questa sia la fine dell'avventura". E' arrivato L'ultimo chilometro per questo affascinante sport?

Sinossi


L'Ultimo Chilometro è un racconto a tutto tondo del ciclismo attraverso 5 personaggi, 5 storie:

Ignazio Moser - figlio di Francesco. Giovane corridore carico di forze e di sogni: tra tutti la Parigi-Roubaix, la mitica corsa del nord che il padre, riferimento ma anche costante termine di paragone per Ignazio, fece sua per tre anni consecutivi.
Cadel Evans - star internazionale e primo corridore australiano a vincere il Tour de France, lo scorso anno. Nel 2012 tutti lo aspettano al varco: dal ritiro invernale di Alicante alla Grande Boucle, il film ne seguirà l'intera stagione agonistica. Saprà riconfermarsi?
Davide Rebellin - a 40 anni compiuti, lo scorso anno contro ogni previsione è tornato vittorioso. Ma dopo lo scandalo olimpico di Pechino 2008, quando fu costretto a riconsegnare la medaglia conquistata, per molti il suo nome rappresenta ancora e solo il lato oscuro del ciclismo, il doping.
Gianni Mura - il "suiveur", giornalista di fama che da anni racconta il ciclismo attraverso le sue cronache dal Tour de France, e che dal Tour ci fornirà le chiavi di interpretazione di questo sport.
I tifosi - gli appassionati e i fanclub disposti a seguire il proprio idolo in capo al mondo, ad esaltarsi per le sue vittorie e a lenire le sue sconfitte. In particolare seguiremo da vicino il mitico "El Diablo", tifoso tedesco che armato di forcone e coda da diavolo da anni segue le principali gare del calendario internazionale.

L'Ultimo Chilometro è il racconto di una stagione di corse, ma inevitabilmente diventa racconto delle nostre passioni, motivazioni, vicende, sentimenti.
Un film dal taglio internazionale, come è ormai diventato internazionale lo sport delle due ruote.
Un film per tutti coloro che una volta nella vita sono saliti su una bicicletta.
