Got an email a couple weeks ago from the Mark Cavendish of Adventure inquiring how my solo adventure weekend went, and I must say it was everything I dreamed it would be…solitude, respite, blah blah blah. The wife and boy were on vacation in Amsterdam (I know, I know, WTF wasn’t I there??- and I Read the full article…

The Goose is Loose!
That’s it. I’ve put in my time and been counting down the hours at work. It’s only Wednesday, but my weekend starts now. Did somebody say ‘Road Trip?’ The wife hates me and I’ll take my lumps when I get home. But now, the Goose is Loose! That’s right, we’re headed to Gooseberry Mesa, Utard. Read the full article…
The other side of the coin
In response to Judi’s last post regarding the inequality and piss poor payouts that female racers endure and are subjected to, I came across the following little gem. I don’t know if this if truth, fact or fiction, but it caused me to do a double take. File this one under WTF??? While some complain Read the full article…
Charlie Don’t Surf
But he can sure ride a bike! I just returned from spending two weeks abroad in Seoul, S. Korea, Shanghai and Beijing, China and damn, what an adventure. With the success of capitalism in the People’s Republic of China, the scores of bicycles have been replaced by electric scooters and motorcycles. I was hard pressed Read the full article…
Hello shit, meet fan

HTC one man down
Mark Renshaw of HTC-Columbia, has been given le-boot today after doing a little headbutting in the final stretch. Personally, I think this punishment is too harsh and complete bullshit. Garmin rider Julian Dean made an attempt to squeeze up the side and force Renshaw off his line, but he held it and gave a lil Read the full article…
Is there HOPE?
Shit. Hell. The discussion of reducing our reliance upon foreign oil and the demand for renewable and sustainable energy sources has been a hotly contested topic since, well, for over 3 decades now. Is there HOPE? Can we make a CHANGE? I like to think so. Saw a jaggoff driving a car the other day Read the full article…
Cat Fight!
Wow, sparks and tempers were flaring after today’s stage! Nothing screams “Lil Bitch” more than a couple cyclists clad in lycra and funny shoes tussling in public. And to make matters worse, Quick Step rider Carlos Barredo used a spare wheel to aid in his bitch slapping. You wanna kick dude’s ass? First take off Read the full article…
Adios Amigo!
On account of G Donk moving to the land of cheese steaks and William Penn, we decided a farewell ride was in order. Since Flagstaff was now out of the question, we opted to stay local and embarked on a bikepack/overnighter/Lemmon Drop. With Mt. Lemmon topping out at just over 9,000ft, this made for the Read the full article…
