What is what is happening with the cycling world’s proverbial hot potato team, your favorite and mine, the Terrors of Kazakstan, the Dopest of the Dopers, the Infamous Astana you ask? I’ll tell ya in three words: Leipheimer and Trek. As in Leipheimer will ride for them and Trek’s going to supply the bikes. American [...]

Does this count as a blemish against the event? Paolo Bettini of Italy prevailed in Stuttgart, Germany, after a week of polemics that threatened his participation. The 33 year-old from Marina di Bibbona formed part of a five-man group with Frank Schleck (Luxembourg), Cadel Evans (Australia), Alexandr Kolobnev (Russia) and home rider Stefan Schumacher. It [...]

After a relaxing post-Interbike day in the Flagstaff offices of Drunkcyclist, it would figure that I’d get bumped from my early AM flight back east. “Overweight” was the charge – too many checked bags from the rest of the passengers bringing home dreamcatchers and kachina dolls. As I type my seat is empty on my [...]

Because this investigation and interview is pretty detailed and interesting. You can get more background with your Freedom Fries, in VN-1 and VN-2 An inside look into the wacky world of ambition, cheating, the enablers, the lying, going fast, and the whole shit sammich.

I’m calling it. This is the Year of the Cougar. We’ve had the twenty niner. We’ve had carbon fiber in all its stupid light & expensive glory. I had pegged the twenty seven inch and a quarter knobby coaster brake wheel for a comeback, but I might be ahead of the curve on that one. [...]

They place I stayed at the last two nights had intermittent internet wireless access that kept throwing me off. So I got yesterdays write-up posted this [...]

Heading west out of Flagstaff on I-40 I see the exit for Devil Dog Road. Every time I see this exit, I think the same thing – What the Devil Dog Road? Where does it go? And when will I ride it? AssFork. Arizona’s A # 1 shithole. The sign says “Ashfork”. But I know [...]

This may be all you really need to see from Interbike 2007, but if you must there is more coverage form yours truly at BlueCollarMTB and Urban Velo.

Michael Rasmussen seems to always of been on the cutting edge of the doping curve, that’s what I think. Way back when he was using modified bovine blood, before it was cool. Now he is onto the bio-similars. He’s a trend-setter, and we should all be proud.

I’m nearly out. Shit got done around here this morning. Up at 6:15. Feed the daughter, help out mom. Get everyone sorted. Kiss wife in driveway. Drop off said daughter. Call grandparents and thank them for dinner last night. Go by shop, get there same time as door opens for first time this week, leave [...]

First up, we have this video from youtube.com showing the desperate life of an Eagles fan. The accent, the clothes, the self loathing. It all goes together. Eagles fans everywhere have apparently given McNabb all of three weeks to come up with the goods. Frustrated with the Eagles’ last-second 16-13 loss to the Green Bay [...]
