  • Rides For us Non-Nine-to-Fivers

    Hello Portland Velo! As a new member I have been having trouble finding rides due to my "non-traditional" work schedule. I do my own rides but I joined Portland Velo to ride with others. Any suggestions for, or interest in, earlier (than the 9 am) starts, or, better for me (I am a chef), later...

  • NEVER RIDE HARD ON TIRED LEGS. NEVER. EVER.

    Rewind. Stop. Play. NEVER RIDE HARD ON TIRED LEGS. NEVER. EVER. This absolute core principle of intelligent training is repeated mantra-like by most of us. And all too often ignored. But do so at your peril, be you race teamer or serious fitness rider. Who says? Well, everyone. Including Scott Saifer...

  • Mitachondria's Magic Bean?

    It's responsible for the production of 95% off all the human body's energy requirements. Got your attention? Read on.

  • No Really, Get Your Iron Checked.

    I’ll admit it.  I was mega-skeptical about this whole iron thing when it came up.  It’s one of those things where one person tells you about something and then you start hearing it all over. The iron buzz!!  Get your iron checked!  Everyone is doing it! It all started...

  • Make March Transition Time!

    Most likely you've not been riding much over this dreadful winter. Most likely when you have ridden it's not been very vigorous (you know, the cold and all). Most likely you're still doing a lot of gym pedaling, be it in spinning classes or slogging out 40 minutes on a LifeCycle, or you've...

  • Fit Bit O' The Week - Get Schmeissed!

    Ciao, Velo-ites. Uncle Norris's message for you this week is one you aren't going to want to hear: Stop wasting your time futiley chasing fitness and longevity through something as mundane as cycling. Nah, instead GET SCHMEISSED! So say a group of men who, according to a report in the London...

  • Feeling Good Never Felt So Good

    On Saturday I got back on the bike for real.  I went out with a teammate to go long and slow.  Long and steady.  My training doesn’t usually call for LSD, so I was looking forward to ignoring the HR monitor and just riding. I wanted to learn a new route, so I called on the [...]

  • Training While Sick: What’s the Verdict?

    My cousin asked me about this a little over a month ago when she was down with some really nasty cold/flu stuff.  "Should I run?" I told her to stop and get better.  Or, if she did want to get a few miles in just for sanity’s sake, to go someplace warm (a gym) and do them [.....

  • Making Up for Lost Time: The Catch Up Post

    The sun came out.  Portland stretched and yawned and shielded her eyes. The bike called, so I came. On Thursday Sal and I hit the road together for the first time in a long while.  We took an old familiar route south to Oregon City, around Lake Oswego, back to Terwilliger and home.  The...
