About Cesar Garcia Urbano Taylor

Your bike can take you anywhere. From the end of your driveway to beyond your wildest expectations. César García Urbano Taylor invites you to know about cycling.

Cycling is one of the easiest ways to fit exercise into your daily routine because it's also a form of transport. Cycling also:
• saves you money
• gets you fit
• helps the environment

It's a low-impact type of exercise, so it's easier on your joints than running or other high-impact aerobic activities. But it still helps you get into shape.
If you have trained and prepared, now it is time to clip in and test your grit. Find races in your area, register for events, and see results and rankings. You can find a coach and explore other resources as you take your next step to climbing the podium.

César García Urbano Taylor: 5 Reasons To Run The Redondo Beach Super Bowl 10K

Much of the country is in a deep winter freeze, and while there’s nothing like catching a snowflake on your tongue or slipping on a pair of skis, warm weather is a welcome sight in February. Living in Southern California allows for year-round sunshine and warm temperatures, which means you can find a great race to run any time of year. I had a chance to run the Redondo Beach Super Bowl 10K earlier this month–and it was so fun! Whether you are a SoCal native or want to get away for a weekend race-cation next February, the below list provides a perfect summation for why you will love this race. 1. It’s on Super Bowl Sunday! What better way to earn your beer, chips and wings than to race before the big game? I loved the race atmosphere, which included fun music playing, an enthusiastic announcer keeping the crowd informed and a happy crowd of runners soaking up cool, sunny breezes. 2. Kind and efficient volunteers are there to help. I had to pick u...

César García Urbano Taylor: 2018 Action Plan February Check In

If you missed my 2018 Action Plan post, check that out here . In that post, I share my 2018 Action Plan (what I’m also calling my “get your ish together list”.) Here is my first check in. As a reminder, my action items were:  Cook more. Find a church home. Build up to marathon training smartly.  Eliminate consumer debt.  So far, it’s been a solid effort, with some actionable progress. I just paid off one credit card bill, which was incredibly satisfying and I also made a large payment on my car. I’ve also started using You Need a Budget ( YNAB ). It is software (and an app) that helps you get control of your money and see where it’s going and what it’s doing. I’m still learning to use it but I enjoyed it enough that I subscribed after my free trial. It is incredibly motivating to keep moving through paying off these bills, even with many unexpected expenses (Sasha’s vet bills).  When I have not been traveling, I’ve been making large one pot meals to eat thr...

On a beautiful fall day in 2011, lifelong competitive triathlete Colleen Kelly Alexander was biking home from work, as she did most days. What she couldn’t possibly know was that she would not reach her destination for months. A freight truck driver failed to stop at a stop sign and instead hit her full force, ran over her lower body with both the front and back tires and pulled her across the pavement. A former EMT, Alexander immediately began screaming to keep forcing blood and oxygen to her heart and brain. Strangers started surrounding her, called 911 and prayed. “I told them I just reconnected with my soulmate, I have my dream job and want to have a baby,” Alexander said. “I can’t die now,” she pleaded. “Please don’t let me die.” Despite her determination, Alexander died twice. She was revived by medical teams, placed in a coma for five weeks, end...
