Cycleogically Speaking

2011 with Audacious ultra racing calendar;

The year planning for me is coming to fruition two-fold; one as just making plans with the Honey Stinger team and more-so as a full time coach with Carmichael Training Systems. As a coach, I'm finding and refining my niche as an ultra mtb coach, heavily working with athletes tackling races like Cape Epic in South Africa and dreams of conquering the infamous LT100. Well in these pursuits and the ever-growing desire to toe the line of these ultras is the inevitable "sold out registration" message that people get when they realize that the start spots go fast.

Well here is my solution for the Rocky Mtn cyclists that I work with and even myself as I try to gain as much hands-on experience so I can better coach my athletes from a race day perspective.

A caveat here is this list is not fully complete, but a darn good start for some awesome series and events. And not gonna lie, I may be biased to some events here as I've done them before or they are close to me.
