I had the pleasure of celebrating J.P. Manoux’s birthday by participating in an a beyond amazing race across Los Angeles. I didn’t win but I got to see David Sitzman (87), Tom Cole (87), Tom Hale (86) and an assortment of Manouxes, so actually I did. Jen Crittenden CdeP 1987

I’ve got my first 21 year old–watch out. He’s working his way up through the mountain bike world, working at a bike shop and planning to race some this summer–hopefully we’ll get to race a few together.

I just completed a 155 mile, 6 stage, self-supported ultramarathon through Madagascar (Racing the Planet). The run took us through breathtaking terrain, ranging from tropical beaches to red rock canyons, vast rice patty fields to rural African villages. It was physically challenging but I felt good through most of the race and I definitely drew […]
