Ed Ilgren passes the clouds ~
February 2003 - Ed Ilgren and
friends climb a peak in Hawaii that takes
them above the actual cloud line at 6:30 in the
morning. A lot of climbing for a sunrise, but it sure
looks worth it!
Ed
Ilgren conquers Mauna Kea, Hawaii
Our good buddy, Dr. Ed Ilgren, made his 2nd attempt at the treacherous Mauna
Kea climb. Last year, rough roads and inclement weather held him back. This year
he successfully competed the world renowned monster climb. Big congrats to
Ed.

Fordney in Singapore, 8/03 ~
Cycling mates. Here is a pics from the Singapore Corp Triathalon - a
precursor to the final series i November. My participation was as part of a
relay trio - with me covering the bike leg - a 20K timetrial. (avg speed 31K
(19M)/hour).
We came in 10th out of 90 teams. Needless to say my teammates, swimmer -
Raoul - and runner Shaffiq - and I all worked together for this great result.
... my Cycles BiKyle frame and new outfit brightened up the place!

Summer 2001: Bill Nottingham of Delaware brings the BiKyle colors to the top
of the infamous "Tourmalet" of the French Pyrenees. Bill still has 3 miles to
go. But, his 39 x 26 gearing was enough to bring him to the
top!

7/3/01: Hi Kyle,
Well, it's been an incredibly busy race season to say the
least. Since I updated you last , I've been in CA for Nationals and
Idaho for the HP Womens Challenge and everywhere in between. All in all
it's been a good season. My role on the team has changed a bit this
season from last season. We now have a sprinter on the team which means
that we work to get her to the sprint finish and I along with my team
mates have been learning the fine art of the leadout. Pretty fun stuff.
The National TT went pretty well, although not quite as well as
I had wished. My goal was a top 10 finish but it just wasn't meant to
be. I finished 14th , which isn't bad but it's always a bit
disappointing when you don't meet your goals. The Cervelo is working
just fine. I always get tons of complements on it.
Our team was in Philly for the First Union race. The
Manayunk Wall was a real treat. It was incredible to see that many
spectators . What a rush! I felt really good for that race.
It wasn't a particularly hard race except for the wall. The final sprint
was pretty hairy as usual but I had pretty good position and ended up
finishing 21st. Not too bad for a non sprinter in a field like that.
I was one of the top 5 American finishers which made me very happy.
From Philly we flew to Idaho for HP. My attitude going
into that race was survival. I had never done a tour type stage race
before and only had been at altitude once and that was 4 yrs ago. So,
survive I did. All 13 stages. The altitude really killed me at
first but by the end I was actually getting stronger and even had some top 20
finishes which was very encouraging. What a great experience .
Hopefully that will be a perfect tune up for tour de Toona.
Now we're off to Mass. for the BMC race, then to Seattle at the end of the
month and then Altoona. Ahh, the life of a bike racer. Gotta love
it !!
Take care Kyle. I'll continue to update from time to
time.
4/10/01: Hi Kyle,
Well, Sea Otter has come and gone... What an
experience! A good experience I might add. Our team had traveled to CA
at the beginning of March to do about three weeks of training and to do the
Visalia races and the Sea Otter Classic. My main objective while I was out
there was to get as much quality training as possible. And that I did. It's
always a rude awakening when you are thrust into a World Cup race and your fitness
is only up to east coast winter training standards. It was an
encouraging time though. My fitness is right where it needs to be for a May
peak.
I did take the Cervelo to CA with me, thinking that it would be
a perfect time to really try it out on a tt course. Well, that was a mistake.
The TT course at Sea Otter was all climbs which required a lot of standing.
I probably should have used the road bike with aero bars. My finish was ok,
not great - 24th. Still encouraging though. I hadn't done any hill training up
to that point and the course was all hills. I finished 26th in the GC. I
crashed on the last day which put me back some in GC. I would have finished
20th had I not crashed. Oh well, that's racing. So , all in all it was
great experience and great training. Next on the race agenda is tour of Gila.
I've been doing a few training races here and there and really increasing the
training volume in preparation for Gila. I've been training on the Cervelo
once a week also. I just love that bike. It's like a little rocket, especially
when I put the Zipp's on.
I'll continue to update you on the seasons progress. The
updates will become more frequent as the season gets in full swing. I
will also be sending a photo soon. Our team will be having photos taken on the
16th and I will have one taken separately of me on the Cervelo. Thank
you for your continued support Kyle.
Sincerely,
Charm Breon
