Stories of Hope
Matt Tanner discusses how the Rollfast Cycling Club became focused on Mental Fitness with Andy Kirchoff of STS Bicycles.
Wow wow wow… Last week we held our second Spring Camp of 2022 for the RFCC. We headed to a Brevard North Carolina, new location for the club to explore. I can’t say enough about how awesome the roads, views and routes were. Incredible. Upon arrival on Tuesday afternoon, we wanted to check out the […]
I just returned to snowy Indiana from another great trip out to Tucson Arizona with the Rollfast Cycling Club. This year we had representation from Florida, Texas, Illinois, Indiana, Colorado and brought two new members to their first ever RFCC camp! Upon arrival, we wanted to stretch the legs and did a quick ride along […]
On August 30th of this year, I received the following email from Matt Tanner: “Scott I wanted to let you know that we’ve recently added to the Rollfast website. I hope you are well mentally and physically. Reply to this email or send me a text of you would like to connect or learn more […]
This week a cycling friend in Colorado called me. He just broke he femur in a crash and was really down. When he first called, I wasn’t sure what he was looking for. Mental health support? Coaching advice? Suggestions for sports outside of cycling? We talked for a few several minutes and he asked how […]
Recently David Clark of the Rollfast Cycling Club shared his transformative experience since joining the club on September 1, 2017. Read below and check out the before and after shots! WOW. Yesterday, my daughter reminded me of where I was about 8 years ago, and sent me this photo. Besides being on vacation, I was […]
This weekend the RFCC Indy Squad participated in the Hancock Flat 50. It’s an event that the City of Greenfield contracted Rollfast to create in 2016. Over the years the event has grown in participation. This year over 500 riders came out to ride 25 or 50 miles. While this ride is a fundraiser and […]
We just returned from our World Tour stop in Austin Texas. The entire trip we dealt with dodging raindrops to get our rides in. Some cyclists would be down in the dumps with the radar we were looking at. But our club took it in stride and made lemon margaritas out of lemons. We snuck […]
Saturday I held a Time Trial Simulation for an RFCC member I coach. We spent two hours working on specific techniques and skills to make him a faster racer. After our session, we met up with 5 other RFCC members for a group ride. I don’t know if you got to ride a bike on […]
As I was working on forming my thoughts for this blog post about “purpose”, my phone buzzed with a Facebook notification. It was a tag from my teammate and close friend Josh Drake. Below is his post: I did twice as many miles as last year! However, the miles weren’t as significant as the friendships […]
If you know me at all you know that I’m a perfectionist. It runs in my family I would say, and I’ve been that way as long as I can remember. As a kid, I would build elaborate Lego creations following the instructions step by step to ensure that my final piece matched the front […]
Ah I can feel it coming on. Yep, a cold sore right on my upper lip. It’s the tell tell sign for me that I’m under a lot of stress. Over the last two weeks we’ve been without a vehicle in the shop, cancelled a trip, started a home renovation, started a coaching business, taken […]
As we reach the end of 2020 and the holidays are coming up, I thought I would give my take on experiences. Chris and I enjoy giving experiences as gifts much more than physical things that are soon forgotten. We took our entire family (15 of us!) to Aruba in 2012. Before we even left […]
One of my favorite movies is Step Brothers. It’s a story of two 40 year old men (Brennen and Dale) still living as children at home with their single parents. When their parents meet they become best friends and are eventually forced to “grow up” and become adults with jobs. At the end of the […]
Ah yes… 2020 has been a ride, and at every turn, you think it’s going to get back to normal. But wait!? Thanksgiving is coming? Let’s just ramp up the COVID a little to keep everyone on their toes! So, with all the unknowns on travel restrictions, masks, and group gatherings how can we possibly […]
I read a blog yesterday about how to wake up and achieve your goals every day. It was full of tips like “vision boards” and journaling. Maybe those concepts work for you, but for me, it just feels like another project to work on before I really get to do what I really want to […]
My wife and I were watching the news the other night and had the realization that nobody is getting “2020 RULES!” tattoos this year. Or maybe they are? But we thought it would be funny to get them and then bullet list all of the terrible things that happened to each of us this year. […]
I met my wife Chris in 2011. She was a busy woman with 4 kids running an auto dealership with nearly 100 employees. I had a young son and was working at a technology firm in Carmel Indiana managing several large projects. We fell in love as soon as we met and there wasn’t anything […]
Growing up in Indiana I remember enjoying four seasons each year. Spring has memories of lots of flowers, rain and allergies. Summer we would spend at the local pool trying to flex for the girls by doing flips on the diving board. Fall was always cooler with bright colorful leaves and bowls of my moms […]
I do not consider myself a “joiner”. I’m an introvert, so I really like my alone time because it is how I recharge my batteries, my essential daily self care. A couple of months ago, Phillip Jones approached me via text to ask if I would be interested in joining a cycling club. I had […]
The RFCC World Tour arrived in Tucson on Thursday night. Friday morning was an epic ride up Mt. Lemmon with six members representing Austin, Chicago and Indy Squads. SAG support was key and Kendra Drake did a great job providing bottles and nutrition on the route. Post ride dinner was provided by none other than […]
