One nut, seven Tours, no steroids

I got this in February. Really. It was buried in a draft folder for months. Hey, I’ve had a busy summer! I’ll get it cleaned up, I promise. Right after I sort out the garage. Which is an absolute train wreck. I digress… Thought you’d enjoy the billboard that went up across NZ yesterday. It’s [...]

Ferdi Kübler is a Baller

When asked about the current crop of pro cyclists, he said, “‘Do not insult me. We were much harder and more robust’ than today’s pros.” http://bazonline.ch/sport/Ferdy-Kuebler-Wir-waren-viel-haerter-und-robuster/story/22499111.

Giving it some stick.

I don’t have any idea who this guy is. But, I’ll tell you this much: he is railing it. Good on ya. Source: http://taeblog.tumblr.com/post/8647253224.

Wide bars, short stem, baggy clothes, BMX helmet, platform pedals, sneakers, Spooky bike, absolutely WFO into that berm. What is that in the background on the left? [...]

San Marco

Rolls or Regal, the whole lot of ‘em. San Marco across the board. Back when a saddle was warm in the winter and shady in the summer. Class. Image source: http://gibier3000.tumblr.com/post/7188224566/panasonic-racing-team.

Speed talks

Let the legs do the talking. Image source: http://catransplant.tumblr.com/post/7313900326/i-love-his-arrogance-his-style-and-his-game. As a bonus, tubs ‘o fun can’t knock back a bag of curly fries with his yap taped shut. I take the piss out of the kid, but make no mistake – I am impressed with the man’s class. He’s got FIRE! We’ll see where he [...]

Vive le tour!

I rode, I ate, and then I rode some more

Stupid is as stupid does. Or, something anyway. Ya’ll know the drill, get up and get at it. Nothing feels quite as right as the morning sun coming up as you eat miles. Nothing in this life comes easy. Well, nothing worth doing anyway. Being a father is work, being a husband is work, being [...]

The bike, she will wait for you.

Oh, you had better believe it buddy. The last three years have been nothing short of hell. So glad that it’s over. A few years back I figured out trying to ship a bike back and forth across the country was a giant sized pain in the ass. And don’t get me started with dragging [...]

He gave it everything.

I was very impressed this morning. Cadel Evans is a worthy winner of the 2011 Tour de France. He earned this. Andy Schleck left nothing on the road. He attacked with panache, he rode for the win, and he did all that he could. “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who [...]

Voekler

I snapped this photo of the live coverage playing on my television this morning (and shared via twitter). Maybe not the best photograph of the day’s action, but my god, I was coming out of my skin! At one kilometer to go, he had just about lost the jersey to Schleck. He turned himself inside [...]

Check the Schlecktacles

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, now you too can be outfitted with a pair of genuine Schlecktacles. Perfect for the cyclist who spends 90% of his time looking at what’s going on behind him.
