I need help pinning the high rpm
/2 Comments/in Ask Lee, Pump Up the Base training program, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHey Lee I need help pinning it. I don’t use a watt meter, just cadence. Can’t get above 200. Is it my bike set up, my position or what? My husband can get to 215 on my bike. What to do? I’m in week 10 of Pump up the Base, which I love by the […]
The connection between yoga and cycling

Chasing numbers
/1 Comment/in Life with a capital L, Pump Up the Base training program, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesYesterday I hit a personal record for sprint power — stoked! — but the extreme level of stoke got me thinking: Why are numbers so appealing?

/1 Comment/in Prepare to Pin It training program, Pump Up the Base training program, Skills/training, Uncategorized/by leelikesbikesI just finished week 5 of the Prepare to Pin It training program, and my power improvements are shocking. If you’re into numbers, you have to see this.
Angle of your head in berms
/5 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesDear Lee, I’ve noticed two styles of keeping one’s head while cornering. Let’s see two examples on Pinkbike: Brian Lopes – with his head more or less in-line with the body Jared Graves – with his head almost always perpendicular to the ground: Is it just a matter of style and habits, or is there […]
Why did I ride my Stumpy 29 for Sea Otter dual slalom?
/4 Comments/in 29ers, Racing, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, The Sea Otter Classic dual slalom is coming up. 2012 was my first year and it was a blast–I am looking forward to 2013. Sea Otter, when you take into account travel, entry, and the practice-qualies-main spread across days scheduling, is the most expensive race in my amateur season. So I am trying […]
Here’s to sucking less
/2 Comments/in Pump Up the Base training program, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesPart of the continuing saga … A few years ago I realized (well, I was shown) that my sustained power and climbing ability pretty much sucked. Too many years as a downhiller, too much coaching, not enough riding, non-exciting genetics, blah blah. While I suck at lots of things, I generally try to suck less, […]
leelikesbikes is 10 years old!
/0 Comments/in Life with a capital L/by leelikesbikesToo bad I learned this when my 10-year domain registration expired, but everything’s working again and all is good. 10 years ago I had some bike stories to tell, so I whipped up a little site for my friends Now I have almost 40,000 friends each month. Thanks everyone for your support! Big things are […]
Enduro 29 vs Stumpy 29 geometry?
/2 Comments/in 29ers/by leelikesbikesHi Lee What do you think about the Enduro 29er vs Stumpjumper 29er in regard to the chainstay and head angle. The Enduro has got a 2cm shorter chainstay and a slacker head angle. What are the diffrences? Is the Stumpjumper geometry better for uphill and the Enduro better for the downhill? Looking forward to […]
