The Other Side of Dr. Xeno's Brain

It's me, Dr. Xeno. Here are lecture notes and ideas for my work teaching physical and cognitive development across the lifespan (HDEV 3101) at the Department of Human Development at CSU, East Bay. This content is often referred to as mind-brain, mind body connection, brain and behavior; but it is really about the knowledge derived from the related fields of neurology, neuropsychology, neuroscience and cognitive science. Sometimes I just write about my kids or bike racing. Feel free to comment!

Other team's race reports... and tactics!


In line with my cycling obssession, I've found I quite enjoy reading the race reports posted by other teams in public forums, as well as their tactical plans. We at EMC/Vellum keep these among ourselves and I like to believe they are a bit more colorful. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this time sink as much as I do. Oh, the caveat here is that it's a lot more interesting to read a report from a race you were in, or at least observed or at the very least know someone else who was in the race. On the other hand, I perused this stuff like some sort of weird cyclist stalker all last year trying to decide what races to do and what team to join.
Total racer for RacerX 1998-2004: 0.
Total races for RacerX in 2005: 2.
Total for 2006 so far: 5.
Happy reading road freaks.

CVC, aka Central Valley Cycling - lot of reports - see 'Race Reports' forum,
plus a private team forum where I bet they keep all the juicey stuff:

San Jose Bicycle Club, aka 'SJBC', it's like one guy has the assignment to post a report:

Trumer Pils/Cyclesports, aka, 'the organge and white team':
http://www.teamoakland.com/forums/

Pegasus/Allegiant Air, aka 'contra costa cycling club' (C4):
http://www.c4racing.org/
(I especially like the post where one rider says, 'We should do our planning somewhere more private." or something like that):

The NCNCA Racing forum, has both selective "Race Coverage" race reports:
http://www.ncncaracing.com/racecover.php
and an on-going forum with all sorts of chatter:

Of course the OV always describes his 35+1/2/3 or just plain P/1/2 escapades with inspiration and wit, (aka Mike Hernandez, Team Safeway):

Got any other good ones? Post 'em here.
