There are things we do because when looking into the future they seem like a good idea to better ourselves. Or more than likely we are overcome with a sense of bravado. I cop to the latter and got myself and three buddies, Otto, Danny, and Matt into something which we may regret [...]

This is mine about an hour ago.

Yo, I got mad bikes. You should see the other side of the place.
Room for cars? What, are you kidding? This is a two car garage and I’m a bike nut. Cars go out in the driveway, kid.

Patrick Brady had a piece in the LA times yesterday regarding doping. He suggests offering an amesty for former pros to come clean. There has to be some way to allow the truth to come out and overcome this “code of silence” bullshit.
Anyone who believes that Riis didn’t use EPO on his way to [...]

You just knew this one was coming:

Riis ejected from Danish sports hall of fame
The 1996 Tour de France winner and Team CSC director, Bjarne Riis, has been removed from the Danish sports hall of fame, following his admission of doping earlier this week. According to Danmarks Radio, the president of the commission which [...]

The key stage that mostly decided the Giro was wednesday’s climb of the Zolcan. What an excellent time to test the riders. So they actually did.
First we have this Link, in which the Italian Olympic Committee focuses not on “any” rider, but the premier riders; Danilo Di Luca, Eddy Mazzoleni, Riccardo Ricco and Gilberto Simoni.

Just wanted to let the DC community know that we are hosting The
Sheeptown Fat Tire Rally up here in Sun Valley, Idaho June 29-July 1 of this summer. On deck are Man’s favorite vices: BBQ’s, live music, rides, some killer racing, beer drinking, pub crawling, and the like. We named the [...]

I think this is a mistake. We need to find ways to reward those who come forward and tell the truth. Even if it is ten years after the fact.
Why do you think former pros sit on there thumbs when this shit comes out? They know their jobs are at stake for things they did [...]

Another one in via email. I can’t wait to get this kid up and running.

Kung Faux ~ The Box Cutta style, baby. Blade it up. Holla at your boy. Parts one, two and three are, well, “Embedding disabled by request”. Yeah right. I’ll just embed what members of your immediate family I can then, kid.

It’s three thirty in the afternoon and I haven’t been thirty feet from my front door all day. I’m still wearing the clothes I woke up in. I haven’t showered, combed my hair or brushed my teeth. I’ve dropped two glasses and broke one. I haven’t eaten anything aside from a donut and a cookie [...]

This one ain’t fun:

Today’s right out of the box news flash: Riis admits doping.
“My yellow jersey is in box at home, you can come and collect it,” said Riis of his 1996 Tour performance. “What matters to me are my memories.”
Well god damn…

Best part of Bike To Work Week?
The tub of fake butter no one would touch. We tried. We offered. We begged. No one would touch the stuff.
All the rich, buttery goodness!

Look at the goodness! Taste the goodness!
