Shindaggers on Thursday. It was Satisfactory. Slight bruising. De la Garza was up on the mic at one point, I think that’s were it went to eleven. Then they pulled more punk into the rock towards the end of it. I always like that. Persons bounce. Boots stomp. Flip-flops worry. Good times.
Friday I made it up to the dogs grave. It’s a place I go on occasion to hold onto that special kind of chill that only a dog can bring. It was the first time this season and there was another set of burial rocks placed next to her’s. I think it is Sid. A lotta locals have their dogs buried up on the mountain. The dogs are sacred.
Challoner’s answer? He said the Whiskey hurt.
This is just a small sample of the suffering that occurs on the big climb at the Whiskey Offroad mountain bike race put on by my boy Todd Sadow at epicrides.com. I was battling for third place in the 25 Proof, when my friend John “Fuzzy” Mylne came stomping by us! Fuzzy had started an hour earlier than us for the 50 Proof, and had already been climbing for 12 steep miles!
Yea, I concur. That place is full of pain too. Skull Valley. Appropo. Not only was Mylne rock’n, but that is also the first uphill video I’ve ever seen. Excellent. Strangely satisfying. There are more Whiskey photo’s here. Looking forward to next year. Gotta do it.

I understand that this is old news but I needed to mention it anyway, because it is doping. Still.
It will be nice when it’s done. The doping. I’m over it. But then I look at the disgrace of Hamilton and I’m like fuck. He is utterly unemployable without the juice; and that brings it all into perspective. A lot of clean kids missed out on opportunity because of that whole mess. I look at those video’s of Armstrong on the Hautacam; blowing doors off the pelican; making 10 kilo’s of climbing seem like a 300 meter sprint effort. Even Pantani couldn’t respond, and how doped was he? Well, he didn’t kill himself just because. Let’s just leave it at that.
But now, not so much. There’s no doubt that Armstrong is the most physiologically talented cyclist in the world; timing being what it is; dope or not. With his resurgence, I am interested. In barring the Astana Train from the Gila it has been good to see the Texan relegated to being just a really good domestic cyclist. And he’s been appropriately formidable as it should be. But he has not blown the doors off the field. He’s been towing the line and when was the last time anyone saw that? It’s something I wish he would have done for Hincapie during the Spring of all those years. As well, Beyer finished 16th in the TT yesterday. And Ride Clean has been ever present. The Tour of the Gila is the American Classic. Nevermind what the ToC may become, the Gila is the shit. I made it there twice. I finished once.
Steve Froth has twitter updates from the Gila here. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Time to move on. Hairnet.
Schleck sounds like kind of a pussy. Makes me think the Euro roadie is the lamest type.
“Three days after my win in Liège-Bastogne-Liège and I’m sitting in the gutter, covered in dirt and grease. No, I’ve not been on a 72-hour celebratory binge. Instead I’m on a road outside Luxembourg with a crappy broken down car for company. It’s raining, I’m cold and I can’t even turn on the car heater to keep myself warm. Who said cycling is glamorous?”

ShortLinkDump:
The inspiration for the weekend comes from flo. He’s thinking about tennis a lot these days and I believe he’s onto something.
And because the weekend has already commenced you may already be regretful. In times like these & when in doubt, always strive to outdo your best effort. The dimishing effect is worthwhile. Always rock-out like its nobody’s business.
Happy Saturday. Follow through all the way to the end.

How it Hurts!
Love it, finally a vid that’s not just the rad & gnar section of the ride, but a realistic view of MTB action – the part where I wonder to myself, ‘why do I keep doing this to myself?’
Suffer, bitches!

“Dogs are sacred”? WTF? Dogs are just meat waiting to be cooked. Become one with a cat. Then you might know something.

That Tennis chick’s got some serious tit action going on!!!

Long, painful mtb rides are good but the underage tennis boobie makes me feel dirty. For her sake I hope those don’t grow anymore… That’s gotta hurt after a two hour match…

“There’s no doubt that Armstrong is the most physiologically talented cyclist in the world…”
Actually, there is doubt. Plenty of doubt. That report that put forward all those claims about his physiological state being so unique and above the rest has long since shown to be bogus and without merit. He has the physical make-up of any other rider of his generation.

“He has the physical make-up of any other rider of his generation.”
Ah yes, that is quite obvious. I stand corrected.

The pile adjacent to Snapper’s is Cheeba’s. Each with a tennis ball for eternity. As it should be.

Obviously anyone can win seven consecutive TdF victories.

Yes he is as doped up as a fucking crack smoking prostitute, but man is that shit fun to watch, he is ripping up that hill. And considering all of those fuckers in those vids were doped to the gills, it is kind of like a bunch of dudes driving Ferrari’s….equal drivers, and Lance had the best pit crew to keep the car running on all 12

ManFromTheMitten, that was the best way i have ever heard it summed up

Tennis chick had sweet fun bags…
No to hate, but Greg Lemond was the most phsiologically gifted cyclist of our generation. His VO2 crushes all…were it not for EPO and some buckshot he would have had 5 + tours. I am convinced of it.
I like what LA does for cancer, but it is simple math really. Virenque, Botero, Heras, Zulle, etc. , not to mention Pantani….all convicted or admitted dopers. LA dropped them all and was on a team that has had 7+ former teammates that either were convicted or admitted to doping.
Well, boo if you want but you know I’m right. Do the math

Nope. You’re right (arguably) Humpty, but there’s more to being the best than V02. That’s all I’m saying.
