If only…

Imagine if professional cycling had a strong rider’s union in place like the NFL does for its players? A federal judge on Friday blocked the NFL from suspending five players for violating the league’s anti-doping policy. . . . Kevin Williams and Pat Williams of the Minnesota Vikings and Charles Grant, Deuce McAllister and Will [...]

The Happenings

A mother’s love sure runs deep. I’d cast my write-in ballot for this Mom of the Year! Crazy shit. Times are tough. Economy’s in the shitter, discretionary income has dried up, unemployment continues to rise and my drinking fund is getting smaller than Kayle’s career options. But, I know I’m not this desperate for some [...]

Caption This

A reader sent in a photo of his bike. Well, mostly his bike. A little bit of his bike? From: senna I figured this one could make it into ‘caption this’ or at least ‘two wheels one dark..” Anyway, this image captures what my life is about, perty much. That bike you can’t see much [...]

Is there anything the French don’t do right?

First, full disclosure here, I am ethnically French, mostly French Canadian (yeah, that’s right, we DO NOT claim Celine Dion I can guarantee you that), but I still have some roots from the Normandy region of France. Most would mistake me for Italian, or as others have mentioned before, I look sort of like a [...]

Canyonlands back off the auction block

Well, what’d ya know. No longer for sale. My daughters will get to see it someday. Yee haa. A section of whitewater rapids tucked between high cliffs, little-changed since explorer John Wesley Powell boated through in 1896, and a canyon decorated with thousands of ancient rock art panels have been pulled off the auction block [...]

Ride

Kayle = Fail (hey, I think that rhymes)…

Another doper, busted today, or well, not so much today, but sometime last year with the case finally being decided today. Story can be found here at cyclingnews.com. Turns out that the tattooed warrior of bike racing actually did take a few drugs while trying to race Superweek (and who the hell else knows what [...]

Reading Week

It’s my reading week. I’m trying to study. I’ve got a memo worth 50% of my grade sitting on my desk. Draft number six, don’t cha know. I’m dancing all over the max word count of 2,500. I’m at 2,499 right now. Right on the line! If I change anything (and I have changed several [...]

In case you’re wondering where in the hell I got these pictures, my mother sent them to me in an email. Was I surprised? Yes. Yes, I was. Did I laugh? You had better believe it. Dude probably broke his penis on that one. Moose Pipe = FAIL.

Dear sweet little 8 pound 6 ounce Baby Jesus…

This is the story that is going to make me stay so far away from any cycling related forums on the internets, because now for the following, oh, I don’t know, 7 months or so, all we are going to hear from the Lance Fan Boys that have been absent for a few years now [...]
