Compton, Powers Win Harbin Park
Whether it’s competitive events, charity rides, or mountain bike tours, BioWheels has supported or produced quite a few cycling events over the years. BioWheels’ first race production at Harbin Park pulled in a whopping 8 riders in 1997. Cyclocross was unknown to 99% of the region’s cyclists. Those that “knew” it, spelled it cyclecross. Most rode mountain bikes. The 2009 …
Mohican 100K – Largest Mountain Bike Race in Ohio
Charley Miller Race Report 6th Place 100K For lack of training and motivation this year I decided to just try and finish the Mohican 100K. My plan was to ride with Mark Virello so we could encourage each other along the way. I showed up at Mohican on thursday to help Ryan a little and visit Mom. Ryan was swamped …

Tour de Georgia: TT, Mountains, and Wrap-up
I wish I’d been able to do a write up after each of the final four stages, but the time (and wireless internet) just wasn’t there. Wrenching for Marco Polo is a 16 hour day – 6am to 10pm just about everyday. A lot sure did happen though – lots of stories, too many to tell in one sitting! I’m …
Management of Energy (TDG Stages 2 & 3)
Watching a pack of 118 professional bike racers in a peloton from a few cars back is something else. It’s a mass of color washing back and forth across the road; at one moment stretching out length-wise, and the next width-wise. For the first two stages we had a Chinese reporter and cameraman from CCTV following the team around, and …
TdG Stage 1 Ends with Russian Rocket
For better or for worse, a quiet, boring day in the team cars for the mechanics is the best day you can ask for. No troubles with the new groupsets, no slipping handlebars over the 6 sets of choppy railroad tracks, and no flats. Sometimes you may take a look at a rider roster and wonder ‘who the heck is …
Calm before the storm (Tour De Georgia Part 2)
Yesterday was a looooong day. Henk and I worked straight through the day (minus a 90 minute break to get a run in) stripping down the rest of the team bikes and building them up with the new sponsor parts. We don’t have a scale on site, but these bikes are for sure at about 15 lbs, and have very …
