I guess I've been putting this one off because it hurts so much I don't really want to think about it any more than necessary. This race, in a nutshell, is a bastard. Why ... http://beefandpie.com/cycling/?p=120 There are few organized cycling events that are as appealing - by name alone - as the Real Ale Ride. It has two of Beef and Pie's primary reasons for existing encapsulated in the title. Brilliant. Needless to say, we were there en masse. This was the biggest team turn out ... http://beefandpie.com/cycling/?p=106 By: Mike I’m up before sunrise. It’s 38 degrees. I’m in the middle of the desert surrounded by hundreds of cyclists. I’ve got a warm Lone Star in my pocket and I’m wondering, “what the hell am I doing here?” There’s really only one reason I could be in ... http://beefandpie.com/cycling/?p=76 By: Karen As most Beef and Pie fans know, my nick-name is Ponies. Because this is a cycling blog there will be no horses in my blog entry. No really, I promise. Last week after many years off the bike I was lured out to West Texas to ride in ... http://beefandpie.com/cycling/?p=65 By: Andrew This is one of my favorite marathon races. I've done it twice, had great results, and just a good time in general. But, the race is held in Juarez, Mexico. Tell that to most people and the usual response is "Dude, are you crazy?".

My second time around just confirmed that for me. Clearly my memory is shot. This is not so much a mountain bike race as a death march, and this year they made ... http://beefandpie.com/cycling/?p=19 By: Richard I was keen to see what my next ride held in store for the new B&P Team kit and I was not disappointed. I was so busy last week that between the storms and working I was not able to ride much. Sunday morning I rode on the Freewheeling ... http://beefandpie.com/cycling/?p=9 By: Andrew So, we're really busy at the studio right now and I have to try and squeeze in rides wherever I can. Thus it was that I found myself battling traffic out on loop 360 early one morning last week. Also, I was very excited, this being my first ride ... http://beefandpie.com/cycling/?p=8 By: Richard Sunday was one of those weird B&P rides. It included a crash, a fire, a very close call, and a dead body. I haven't been on a Progress Coffee ride in a while. With as few miles as I am able to put in, keeping up on a Progress Ride ... http://beefandpie.com/cycling/?p=5 By: Andrew The summary of La Ruta de Los Conquistadores (or our three days of mud, pain and suffering in Costa Rica). Our group was comprised of John Wilder, Joey Machado, Scott Henry and myself. Scott had done this race before, finishing 5th overall two years ago, and is a Trek ... http://beefandpie.com/cycling/?p=3
