The coolest thing I could be doing right now, is chill’n sideline at a cross race somewhere swilling some shit beer. That would be tops. I might even pay a cover. Ah, there’s nothing like heckling a couple dozen spandex knuckle heads as they crush themselves amongst friends.
My man Latham chimed in the other day in an attempt to get some sort of non-official cross sessions to happen up here in the sticks. My response? No f’n way. Not only would I bust my grill on the nearest barrier, I’d also just straight up quite after the 3rd lap and resume swill consumption. Call me the quiter I am.
Otherwise, it is me, and the Tour is going into defcon-lame all the while VeloSnews snags all the free stickers. No offense of course. They have to report and be “non-biased’ but the whole deal, although I’ll watch it, reeks of halatosis. I’m over it. I’m over road cycling. It’s time that shit took a back seat to just about all other two wheeled events other than Trials.
Ah well, on to the emaciated link dump and report of success on the war against cyclists:

Yep, the top story link is bunk as of now.
Here are some that work (at least they do for me):

http://www.gtconnect.com/articles/2008/10/05/news/community/2aaa03_bikedeath.txtFirst one details the original article. Second is the ongoing investigation. Real nice guy – sponsored our cycling team.
Thanks,
Mike.
What can you say to that shit? Totally lame? Nothing like losing your life because you ride a bicycle.
I wonder what Sausage is doing right now?

Gnome-
Where’s the love? What’s wrong with trials? The other day I passed a guy who was riding along the TOP of the concrete jersey barrier- in Seattle afternoon rush traffic. It was cool. I gave him the “rubber side down” hand sign, for whatever good it might do a madman like that.

OK, certain exceptions apply to the hop hop world. My apologies.
