At 11:30am, the guy that sits behind me in EMT class, starts mumbling about how the fire dept wants to take his mullet from him in order to hire him. He’s got real narrow, sunken eyes. He yanks on it a bit and proclaims “they ain’t tak’n mah hair”, then pulls a pocket knife from [...]

I took Chad to Tumaccori once when he was a Cat 3.  He wanted his up grade to Cat 2. I told him to bring his resume for Al Hopper.  When he reached into his pocket he had a spirial bound [...]

Event Promotion makes for some strange bedfellows…with FBO’s event with Floyd (ironically makes me not want to donate to FBO) and El Tour de Tucson dedicated to his coach, what’s next? Will Tyler (who still beleives he is the rightful Gold Medalist from Athens – read U.S. pro road race comments) be the U.S. [...]

The Flagstaff Biking Organization is now so hungry for funding that they are associating themselves with Floyd Landis. Whatever it takes for a dollar, eh Anthony? You talked my ear off about this back when I had to take your shit for my paycheck. I told you it was a bad [...]

She’s got talent. No doubt about it.
WTF is the mantra for the week. I’m ensconced in idiocracy by radio, by retail, and by education. I’m now off to the night class which is the reward for a long tuesday in that there are (finally) lots of hot chics all around. I get to go [...]

Looking for some of those rare- top of the line & never worked quite right- components from the late 90’s to outfit that vintage mtb project of yours? Dan over at milewidesports.com is selling some amazing, old-school mtb components for long time Flagstaff Local Mark Gullo. There’s nothing like a cherry red Paul’s Components Rear [...]

Can we call it a peak, or is fixie culture going to stay around? Pollard pulled off what I think is the first Alley Cat in Flagstaff. Of course, I’m so old, I’ve never even been to one, the closest I came, were some 3 hour training rides with Gubba Gubba Domenic and I thought [...]

With the Check Engine Light, on and the tires low, self and fellow traveler, Miss B., made it up to MOab last weekend to rendezvous with Big Gay Randy who prefers to go by: Randini Hill. – The guy that road there, mostly off-road, from Flagstaff, in 14 days. I’m only now getting my shit [...]

He says it well, doesn’t he?

Hey jonny,
It was a beautiful day here in East Texas, went for a mountain bike ride, thought you might enjoy this photo of a clear blue sky after the passage of Gustav, and my favorite hill, a three part hill this is the top.
Yall [...]

How it really happened

The guy who sent this link it asked “Do they sell blaze orange jerseys in Radford, Va?”
Radford owns about 250 acres in Montgomery County that it really doesn’t use for much. The city lets people hunt there, but it’s not always hunting season. So Pathways of Radford, a bunch of people who really like trails, [...]

Apparently, cavorting with the Olsen twins, hooking up with Kate Hudson and shmoozing Hollywood’s elite isn’t much of a challenge for ‘ol one nut. Look who’s returning to the peleton. Maybe the whole Brett Favre/GreenBay Packers debaucle enticed Lance to make a comeback? Or his stock pile of EPO is reaching it’s shelf-date expiration and [...]

Or in our case, Warren Jeffs don’t ride. The batcall went out and we descended upon Gooseberry Mesa outside of Hurricane, Utah. 5 rides in 3 days over some of the most engaging slickrock and singletrack trails around and no other riders. Labor Day weekend and we only encountered 2 riders. If you haven’t made [...]

Well, here it is, a beautiful Labor Day in North Carolina. The hurricane weather has decided to chill out long enough to let come to the surface a cool, sunny day. Work is done, and as I drove home, the smell of grilling was everywhere. There’s nothing I’d love more than to [...]

On Sunday I got in another ride of one hour. I went _maybe_ 10 miles.
It is better than nothing I suppose

After Saunier-Duval pulled the plug, Scott bicycles was joined by American Beef. Talk about strange bed-fellows. Now it seems that Scott bicycles has had enough and is discontinuing sponsorship. What now? In lieu of dopped up Italians, the team will now be riding doped up cattle?

Sad news outta the northeast today:

A bicyclist, John Lacaillade II, 38, from Meredith, NH, was killed yesterday on Route 25 in Porter, Maine, when he lost control of his bike and fell under the rear wheels of a tractor trailer.
Read the news account here on MaineToday.com. Read a more detailed article here.
I know that section [...]

Yep, in his own words. And I’m not going to bother posting any of his words. The pics are enough. Must already have a dozen emails (so far) with people sending shit in.
Bottom line: Our man Chris was at SSWC spreading the love like mayonnaise.
And if that didn’t gross you [...]
