Yo, when it looks like this (see to the left) outside, it’s time to ride the trainer damn it all. I hate the trainer. I loathe the trainer. I’d rather do nothing than ride the trainer, but since I have been doing nothing for like a month (or more), and the snow is piled up [...]

Zirbel’s B sample also positive from Velonews.com. Oops, looks like someone tested positive 2 times now, and will be banned for a couple of years. Say goodbye to the career you never really had doper. Don’t let the proverbial door hit you in the arse on the way out. Seems as though, he has read [...]

Bike racing season has just started, and already, Team Sky are cracking the whip. Seems as though Greg Henderson took a win in the warm up the Tour Down Under at the Cancer Council Helpline Classic in Australia. Not too shabby, actually, they went 1-2 in the finale with Henderson’s last lead out man taking [...]

Yeah, tomorrow, got to board that big aluminum tube, and fly across the country from the base of operations in DC (District of Columbia, not Drunk Cyclist, although, this is sort of a base of operations as well, but I digress). Work calls, and I now go to, Pasadena. Anyone out there got any good [...]

Vande Velde team leader again according to the linked Cyclingnew.com article, and I say, hells yeah. Vende Velde is the man, and has been for a long time. I’m not saying Wiggins won’t, or can’t do good and big things on the bike, he might, but a one race flash in the pan does not [...]

Turns out, the mayor of Arlington, TN thinks that he really and truly knows the reason for Obama’s speech the other night on Afghanistan. It was to pre-empt the Charlie Brown special, because, you know, Obama is a dirty Muslim, and doesn’t believe in the Lord our Savior, Jesus H. Christ (does anyone know what [...]

See, I’m not sure why you guys haven’t had this one posted up yet, sorry to bogart Friday page, but I thought most, if not everyone who reads this page would enjoy this little video:

OK, haven’t been around here for awhile. Quick recap first before I get to the things that are bugging me (and yes, they’re about bike racing, this time):
1. I got laid off from my job back in February.
2. I thought about going to law school.
3. I got a new job in Washington DC (the Redskins [...]

Of course, le Tour is going on. Everyone on here no doubt knows this, and if you don’t, pull your head out of your ass, and start watching. It’s been, eh, not too bad so far. I’m watching it as I write this now. I was in California last weekend for a wedding, and there [...]

Write your own captions on this one.

What the hell is wrong with Ron Paul, and Governor Perry of Texas when they start talking super crazy about maybe, you know, Texas should secede from the Union (mostly because they don’t like what Obama is doing).
Look, as we all know, elections have consequences. The major consequence of the last election cycle being [...]

Yeah, this is how we roll at my house for Paris Roubaix. We’ve got some bleu cheese moule-frites with mayo (of course, you think we’re using ketchup? WTF?), and a few bottles of well chilled Chimay White. I’ve got to say, I stepped up to the plate this weekend. Last weekend, it was just frites [...]

Yes, we are on the eve of the Queen of the Classics, and instead of bashing FoxNews some more, I’ll move onto cycling for today (I see that the J-man took up my FoxNews bashing anyway, so I digress).
It’s throwdown time at Paris-Roubaix. Here’s who I’ve got one on my list for possible favorites [...]

I stumbled across this story this morning, and thought that I would share it with you guys. It appears as though we are heading right back to the 1950’s where a lot of republicans would like to take us. Yes, Spencer Bachus representative of Alabama has a “list” of his colleagues, who are, “GASP!” SOCIALISTS!! [...]

Turns out Vermont decided yesterday that getting married and being gay at the same time is A-OK in Vermont. I say, good for you Vermont. Way to take the lead again in the area of gay rights like you did back a decade or more ago when you were the first to allow civil unions [...]

As we all know, yesterday was the Tour of Flanders, like Mr. J I turned off the phone, didn’t read the internets and their series of tubes, and basically ignored all media until the race started at 5PM on OLN (I refuse to call is VS). I was NOT disappointed in the result, that much [...]

I mean, seriously, with parents by the name of Connie Carpenter-Phinney, and Davis Phinney, the genetics there are amazing. Add 2 great bike racers together, and out pops this kid, who at 18, is an elite world champion on the track. I’d say, that’s some pretty good work right there over in Poland.
It’s been what? [...]

Someone got a little boozy on the plane ride back from Spain.
Old Mr. Armstrong, living it up on the ride back to get his busted collarbone fixed up had a little extra drinky drink on the way back, and got cut off (apparently), and then passed out. Good times for all I’m sure. This, [...]

Since this weekend was Milan-San Remo, one of my most favorite races to watch, I was pretty freakin’ happy to see Cavendish take the win on the line after almost 300 miles kilometers of racing.
Sure, there are plenty of folks out there that think he is cocksure, and an arrogant prick, but aren’t most [...]

Old school mo fo’s
Just like Forest Gump, that’s all I’ve got to say about that. Enjoy.
