Re-balling…

Look, I know it’s been said before, but I’m going to say it again, and probably again next year. Phillipe Gilbert? Fucking Baller. Don’t even front son. He has been throwing it down old skool style out there this year. Riding hard, and winning races from March – September. And while I enjoyed Cadel winning Read the full article…

Cyclists down. North Carolina.

I know that all cyclists down are tragic and horrible. This one, especially so. Father and son out sharing a ride, much like sharing a game of catch, and they were both struck and killed by a drunk driver. Link to story… Look, I don’t have kids myself, but I know lots of you do.

NAHBS recap…

For some reason, last year I went to the NAHBS in Richmond, VA (great show gents, great show), and never posted my pics. So, here, for your viewing pleasures, are some pictures from last year’s show to get you pumped and primed for this year’s show in Austin. For those of you going, have a Read the full article…

Ludo was a BALLER…

Who here amongst us wouldn’t call Ludo Dierckxsens a baller? I dare you not to. For crying out loud, the man started his pro career, at 30, after being a spray painter. How many pro athletes do you know who turned pro at 30? Not too many, that’s for damn sure. He made other pros Read the full article…

Radio Ga-Ga and BOOM!

I don’t know what to make of the radio ban the UCI is putting into place. Seems rather silly to ban the radios, but then again, the UCI is not known for being pragmatic about embracing new technology, or in this case, old technology. The UCI, going backwards again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, it Read the full article…

Cyclist Down – Carla Swart

According to news sources in South Africa Carla Swart, national collegiate champion, and neo pro on HTC women’s team was hit and killed by a truck while out on a training ride. She was a member of the Lees-McCrae College cycling team located in Banner Elk, North Carolina, and from all accounts, was a pretty Read the full article…

Expounding on a theme…

So I have been thinking lately, looking at Big J’s posts on who is, and who is not a Baller (obviously, those not mentioned = not a Baller). I have a nomination. Seriously, this woman formerly from the Mid Atlantic region of the country is now, without a doubt, the hardest women’s cyclocrosser in the Read the full article…

Picture says it all!

Alright, so it was late (for me) when I posted this up last night, but wanted to do some writing on this. I am very happy for Thor “Motherfucking” Hushovd to have won this world championship. I am also happy (as someone said in the comments section already) as a self admitted non-fan of Cadel Read the full article…

Dipping the toe back in…

So, after training for a month and half, losing some much needed pounds, and the weather being nice, instead of broiling hot, I decided to head back to my old stomping grounds, and race the Carolina Cup in Greensboro, NC, which if you check their website the winners of the race from many years ago, Read the full article…

The mountains loom…

Looks like the mountains, they are a coming in le Tour this weekend. Well, today actually. This is not full on kick everyone in the nut kind of mountains today, but it could, or should, maybe break things up, and spread some panic amongst the riders who can’t hang. I don’t know for sure what Read the full article…

Tour, day 3…

I know, it’s not that cool to write about le Tour, but I have to after yesterday’s stage. Let’s just say, Cancellara, freakin’ ride of the day folks. Ride. Of. The. Fucking. Day. As we have all come to expect out of Mr. Motor Legs, he drilled it on the pave, and decimated, dare I Read the full article…

Just a reminder…

Just a reminder that on today, Memorial Day, that we remember our fallen Soldiers that have fought for our country. Regardless of how one feels about war (current, and or past), we should respect our fallen brothers and sisters. If you’ve never been to Arlington, or any other military type resting place, I suggest that Read the full article…
