Let me tell you about my November, because it’s been pretty damn good.   Let’s start from the beginning. This first point may have actually taken place in October…I’m never really sober enough to remember details like that. Anyway, I headed up to Denver to see my little brother’s band, The Acacia Strain. They are [...]

Well, this is the first official Greasewipe.  It’s Saturday morning, it might be cold out, heads may hurt, legs may hurt more, but nothing hurts worse than trying to climb a beer-pyramid-steep hill in your big ring when the sum of your wattage is coming from a smoldering lump of beer calories and your wife’s [...]

4:30am on Saturday morning found me lugging my packed singlespeed through the airport once again. I really have no idea how people function sober at this time of day. I board my 6am flight for Nashville and the last thought that goes through my head before I fall asleep is “this better be worth it” The plan was [...]

My friend, Average Joe, wrote some pretty cool words on his blog today. I shared it on our facebook this morning, but I felt that everybody should see it up here on the front page.  It’s a great story and great inspiration to take us into the weekend. In 1995 my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and in [...]

I got an e-mail today from Billy. He made a cool movie that I am a big fan of. Seems this past weekend was the 35th anniversary of the Repack downhill. Damn, we have come pretty far in just 35 years.  I would love to see some more pictures from this event, but he just sent [...]

Ever been on a ride and hit a squirrel? Shit can get real bad, real quick like. I remembered the post a few days ago about a busted carbon seatpost, and It looks like many of you have either contributed to or should to busted carbon dot com. You’re wondering where the rest of the [...]

I can’t understand a word anyone says in this video, but I do understand smiles and effort. It seems that all cyclists speak the same language. Link in case the embed fails: http://videos.letelegramme.com/player.php?sig=iLyROoaf2KOk.

A box came for me on Friday. Inside was this: Raleigh is letting me demo this bike for my race season. Here is what went down. I went out to King’s to do some CX practice last week. After a couple of laps around the course, I was doing some intervals. One minute on, one [...]

Around the same time I was sipping whiskey on a beach in Ireland, my buddy Guz was in France riding further that he ever thought possible. It seems that when he isn’t organizing events for TBAG or peer pressuring me into his Tuesday night rides he is training his ass off and qualifying for the granddaddy of all [...]

Friend of DC, Rob made the trip across the pond to take part in the Trans Wales last month. Sure there are days when crawling out of bed is a little tougher. There are days where the stage just goes on and on. Days when you’re convinced your body can’t handle it. Days when the [...]

I got out a few times over the last week or so. These pics are at least 10 days old, but what the hell. Spent a little time on my fixed Fondriest. Sure, it’s hotter than all hell here in Phoenix. But, if you get up and get at it, you can enjoy yourself for [...]

I rode my CX bike yesterday for the first time since last November. I thought I should probably test out the bike since I am racing tomorrow. Dominic had the bike all ready to go for me when I came home from work. He mentioned that he put his old 10 speed Ultegra shifter and [...]
