I am honored to announce that I have joined the ISM (Ideal Saddle Modification) team of athletes & ambassadors! I’ve been using their saddles since 2012 and no other saddle that I’ve tried in the past 4 years of cycling has matched their level of comfort. I’m still the new kid on the block when…
Thanks to the extensive and comprehensive of D.C. Rainmaker’s Garmin Vector installation and in-depth review, I took it upon myself to try and install them. Finding the spare installation parts were easy – I got the torque wrench at Sears, crowfoot adapter on Amazon 😎 The installation took me about 15 minutes , and then…
Instead of saturating my schedule with New York Road Runner races this season like most NYC runners, I have opted to do some events out east, mainly in Nassau County of Long Island. The Old Bethpage Village Restoration 5km is part of the Nassau Run Series. It is the first race of a four race…

What a better way to celebrate the new year than breaking in new kicks! I’ve been running in Newton running shoes for the past 2 years now, and I’ve had to privilege of trying their entire line of shoes. Back in October 2012, I attended the Ambassador Program that filled me with a wealth of…
I couldn’t think of a better way to end 2013 with a totally new experience! Cyclocross has always been on my list of things to dabble in during the offseason – and so I raced the Long Island Cyclocross event in Nissequogue State Park. This event is hosted by Kreb Cycle, one of the bike…
