I sitting here the night before the Gran Fondo, Marco Pantani in Riccione, Italy. The Hotel Gran San Bernardo is right across the street from the Adriatic Sea. The night is perfect and the anticipation of tomorrow's ride is on everyone's mind. I hope to have more to write tomorrow or the next but safe to say that one of the climbs tomorrow features a section of 18% for 1 kilometer.

You know how I preach about executing every aspect of training perfectly, from warm up, to cool down and stretching?

As Tri-State Velo starts its 14th year we would like to profile Dana Feiss and Graham Coy, two young athletes that have the fire and desire to make the "big time" of professional cycling.

In this time of drug controversies and scandals it is refreshing to see athleticism at its finest. We are proud to introduce our best young talent for 2008 and hopefully beyond.

Here is a report from Justin Woulfe on the final race of the season:
