Yesterday marked my long ride ever, coming in at approximately 139 miles as a part of the Rapha Gentlemen’s Race. We headed out to the beach (Lincoln City) on Friday evening and stayed in a suite at the Inn at Spanish Head thanks to team president Jim who served as sugar daddy for the evening. [...]
Some Recent Projects
Posted By Adam Edgerton on August 24th, 2011
I’ve been redoubling my efforts in improving my knowledge of web coding lately. I’d say I’m now to the point where I’m completely fluent in HTML and CSS, and I’m getting there with PHP. Next up I want to get better at Javascript, and the startup site Codecademy has me intrigued. It’s a fun and engaging [...]
New Tumblr
Posted By Adam Edgerton on November 30th, 2010
These days I’m busy enough that I don’t find much time for blogging, and you’ve probably noticed that there haven’t been many updates here. However, I do find myself wanting an outlet for brief thoughts, images, etc. which sounds like the perfect use for Tumblr. Find it here: http://tumblr.adamedgerton.com/ I’m also still active on Twitter [...]
Glacier National Park Backpacking Trip
Posted By Adam Edgerton on October 5th, 2010
The end of September brought about the end of the cycling season and time for some cross-training. This involved my first week-long vacation from work since last Christmas and a week-long trip to Glacier National Park to go backpacking! Photo gallery of some awesome scenes at the end of the post – mostly taken on [...]
Welcome to the Hurt
Posted By Adam Edgerton on May 28th, 2010
After a great spring campaign of racing in the Cat 3s capped off with a 5th in the GC for Cherry Blossom Stage Race, I found myself with 53 upgrade points and a forced upgrade to category 2 (which I was planning on doing anyway). Kenji put it aptly in his email response to my [...]
Poor, neglected blog…

I wish I had time to update you. Too busy living life and such to have time to write about it.
A Break for Spring
Posted By Adam Edgerton on April 1st, 2010
FYI: If you make it all the way to the bottom of this long post, you’ll be rewarded with a spoiler picture of my new race bike in nearly-complete form. Some nice spring weather happened to coincide quite well with a busy last several weekends. It was Jess’ spring break between terms and even though [...]
Banana Belt 2 Race Report

Chris DuBois posted a great report on this one, so I’ll let him do the storytelling this week.
Health Nut?
Posted By Adam Edgerton on March 6th, 2010
This one could be of some use to all you cyclists wanting to improve nutrition or generally eat well. It has come to my attention recently that I eat nutritiously. Very nutritiously. It’s been an interesting progression, but thinking back I gained some insight into how that has come about – mostly relating to the [...]
Suffering at Sublime Sublimity
Posted By Adam Edgerton on February 21st, 2010
I made yesterday’s race a lot more interesting than it was supposed to be for myself. Sublime Sublimity, now in it’s 2nd year, already has a reputation for being one of the harder one-day road races in Oregon, not to mention that it comes very early on the calendar. For my field, it was 40 [...]
