People always ask me, so jonny, you been riding?
It’s like this: I’ve been riding to work these last few weeks. This is the third week. Missed one day in the second week, but that happens sometimes. Even with the one miss, this is more saddle time than I’ve [...]

Like you don’t know that already.

Ice Cream is my Anti-Drug
While the rest of the cycling world was stuck to the television and computer following the who’s who of blood transfusions and horse medication, I was riding and eating ice cream with a bunch of friends.
Ice cream is my anti-drug. Rather than making me go faster and longer it makes me go slower and [...]

Bradley Wiggins speaks
I don’t know about you, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for riders like Bradley Wiggins.
“I wouldn’t say I’m bitter,” He replied when asked. “I’m angered by it and it’s made my determination to come through this whole thing and to prove that there can be clean winners in this sport.”
“Ten years ago [...]
Mayo tests positive for EPO
I left for a minute to go around the corner and buy a soda. And I come back to this:
Iban Mayo tested positive for EPO on the Tour de France’s rest day, July 24, it was announced Monday night. His team Saunier Duval was informed of the positive test by the UCI and immediately [...]
How should I drink myself to sleep…?
I got me a 30-ish Km ride in today. About mid-60’s and partly sunny. Didn’t kill me, but was just right. Just got home from my 2nd litre of fine German beer, and was wondering…
Which should I crack tonight?
Knockando or Gentleman Jack…?
Seeing as I’m asking a group of experts, let me clarify… I haven’t [...]
I rode yesterday
I got in about two and a half hours on my mountain bike on Sunday. It was raining a bit, on and off. I missed most of it.
Or, most of it missed me.
All a matter of one’s perspective, I suppose.
I screwed around a bit in that wide expanse between Fort Tuthill And [...]
Slipstream signings
I saw this one over at cyclingnews.com.
Nothing reported on their website, slipstreamsports.com, as of yet. I imagine they’ll drop a press release sooner or later.
Jonathan Vaughters has confirmed three new signings to his Team Slipstream squad for 2008, including the widely rumoured move of Briton David Millar.
In addition to Millar, [...]
Wim Vansevenant taked 2nd consecutive lanterne rouge
Drunkcyclist would like to congratulate Wim Vansevenant on his second consecutive lanterne rouge.
By claiming his second consecutive last spot in Paris, the Belgian enters into the history books as one of only three riders to claim the double. Frenchman Daniel Masson did it in 1922-1923 and Austrian Gerhard Schonbacher in 1979-1980. Finishing as lanterne rouge [...]
Cousin Vino retains Counsel
Cousin Vino has hired the same two fine American Attorneys who are brilliantly steering the S.S. Landis away from the shoals. Or they’re trying to anyway. Funny thing is, they get paid the same either way.

Doping expert levels charges against Contador
I don’t usually cite an entire article from one of the Big Cycling Websites (we are a small cycling website). But today, right here, right now, I pretty much will:
A leading German expert in the fight against doping claimed Monday to have evidence indicating that Tour de France winner Alberto Contador had used drugs.
Twenty-four [...]
Rasmussen speaks, and big jonny rambles
I support the anti-doping effort. It isn’t easy on any side. I can understand the difficulty between the professional cyclists, race promoters and cycling organizations.
There is some truth to accusations that this is killing the sport. If the drug users, suppliers or testers are to blame is a question [...]
All you need to know
Watts/KG take a big, big jump when you can get that oxygen to the muscles. To do that, you need to increase the O2 carrying capacity of the blood. The ultimate test of how much O2 one can get their blood to carry, is a tough climb.

The Scallywag and The Cockduster
Greetings, Rapscallions. I’d like to present for the readers, my latest tale. It’s miserably brisk, and painfully uncomplicated. I’ll put it to you like this: Brooklyn sucks. Durham is Rad. Not to ruin the ending, but the Scallywag gets nicked. I need a beer.
