every once in a while

when i encounter acts of stupidity that also qualify as humorous i am tempted to share with the wider world.
this morning the alarm went off at 5am sharp. since i am a bicycle industry rep these days i usually dont start that early, but this being a sunday and me having committed to Bill [...]

tribute to d.r.

Just got this from the guys at bicycleradio… they are doing a post-show tribute to doug roether. they want people to call in or send emails with their stories about doug .. pretty cool way to celebrate him — see my home-grown cut-and-paste of their press release below…because i am too lame to make [...]

cheap hotel

here is my view after sucking down a coupla pbr 24’s. damage mcgehee’s impossibly ugly feet on the hotel bed the night before he tries to do 643.738 laps in less than 3:47:26 That would be an average of 24.36 mph. Which incidentally would be a new world record. [...]

Conservation for endangered species

Nice. Fucking. Job.

Ride Clean. Tour of the Gila. State 1.
4th — not too shabby.. team rode well…

..you smell that? smells like a bike race….

Back by popular demand the requirement that we fulfill some obligation we signed up for years ago but are now regretting, we give you..
(…drum roll..)
The RideClean Arizona State Championship Bicycle Race 2009.
Yes — we are shutting down the streets RIGHT in front of City Hall. Take that mr. mayor… too busy with your ‘job‘ [...]

RBC in the books

Just got back from Redlands where the RideClean Team pinned up and suffered alongside 197 of their closest friends. Only 105 finishers mind you as Jonny’s buddy Jeff Louder spanked all comers. That was hard as shit…all I did was drive the car and I’m spent.
Below — in the start house [...]

team update

Over the last few weeks the RideClean Team has posted a couple nice early season results. It started with Rocket Ron busting out a “W” in the Flapjack TT, continued with J-Rod getting a nice 2nd at McDowell, and the following week my man The Flying Scholnick climbed on the podium in the Cat [...]

My kitchen. 12:39 PM today.

And yes… he WILL (eventually) drink it all. This is the guy that has been staying at my house for 8 days. A while back on an early morning ride someone asked me why I was dragging ass. My response… If a guy with a [...]

Fun in the sun

The Valley of the Sun stage race is in the books. And it actually approached fun there for a minute… don’t get me wrong…the OP it is not, but it had it’s moments. Anytime you are pinning a number on a jersey that looks like this:

…it can’t be all bad.
Or, if you [...]

Roller Wars

This Saturday night in Tempe at 7PM…. I’m doing the A race… hoping not to embarrass myself. $10 buys you $100 worth of fun.

Hangover Helper

Being ever so scientific minded and having been presented over the years with a number of “sure-fire” hangover cures, I thought it was high time to cut through the crap and do a little scientific research. Put it to rest once-and-for-all, as it were.
While there are any number of fixes for the brown-bottle [...]

That’s what its about

For me it’s not about a religious event…or some old fat bearded guy in a red suit. It’s as simple as a new bike for my 9 year old. A kick-ass bike. Never mind that it’s used — barely — but used nonetheless. It’s about the look on his face [...]

(sigh)….. i have a teenage daughter.

so when did i start caring? when did i, an irresponsible take-life-as-it comes hedonist, actually get worked up over something i couldn’t control? maybe it was when i first quit work and stayed home with my infant daughter. maybe it was when i realized that this precocious little human and i had [...]

El Tour… FUCK YEAH!

What happens when you ride 109 miles with 7000 people that are WAY too excited to be riding 109 miles? A lesson for those of you that value your ass skin.

Lugs, not drugs

So this was dreamed up by my friend Tina at Tommasini. Yeah THAT Tommasini — one of the all time best Italian bike builders in the business.

they got it on other stuff too – check it out here:
I’m gettin’ mine — you gettin’ yours? And yes, Randy, they mean Performance ENHANCING Drugs…
