Here’s a race report for all you racer-brah-spandex-junkies, or just anybody who likes to ride their bikes with a zillion other funny wierdos. And besides, it all started here, at DC HQ, when i rode as “Drunkcyclist 2″ at the 24HITOP. Before then i was just a happy-as-a-clam XC rider. I hold you all responsible. [...]

This’ll probably be covered soon in more detail by the Tucson Lawyering Crew, but with Gnome at the P.E.E. and this in the paper, I wanted to make sure it got out:

A 91-year-old man accused of driving off after his car struck a group of bicyclists last month in Tucson has been indicted.
Pima County Attorney [...]

anybody like bikes around here?
of course you do.
And i like my old bike, a bitchin’ black stumpjumper. XTR’d out. in fact, as old parts go, this generation of XTR was hands down the best. big rings, clean lines, good times. Oh, and there’s a 2007 XTR wheelset, Hope Mono Mini’s (160 mm front, 140 mm [...]

CYCLOCROSS! Flagstaff! Free! Saturday. Race starts 10am. Dollar prime to the rider who drinks a pabst in the “pit.” get a free beer and a buck.
Meet Saturday b/t 9 and 9:30 at Synergy fitness in the [...]

We all love a good fight. Mountain biking’s in one right now.
I’m not ashamed to identify myself as a mountain bike racer. That’s ok, a lot of good things come out of racing. Carbon frames and components, wide diameter fork stantions, 29-er wheels, and stable platform rigs have all gotten their starts in the pits [...]

While we’re waiting for returns, you all can enjoy this recording. It’s old news, but too good to leave off DC after all we’ve seen. What’re we gonna do for fun when this debacle is over?
Palin punked
And some sad stuff, but i’d appreciate…
Could y’all send thoughts and love to the family of my friend, my [...]

So far so good.
Here’re the sub-8 hombres:
5. Extreme Juan
11. Snake

We can all hope for a race recap from Snake. They don’t get much better.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Crazy 88 unfolded to no great surprise – the [...]
