I got an email today from my buddy Ryan over at T.B.A.G. letting me know about their 3rd Friday Group Ride that is going down tomorrow night. If you are in the greater Phoenix area, this is definitely something to check out.  Beers and bikes on a Friday night, I’m there. He also informed me that next [...]

There are two sides to the current debate; those that support a legalization of use, and those that call for continued restriction on drug use in professional cycling. That may be, frankly, a gross oversimplification of the issue at hand. These are, really, two ends of a broad spectrum, with the current state of affairs [...]

Lance Armstrong said Saturday he was losing no sleep despite the threat of a federal investigation into alleged doping practices casting a cloud over his stunning career. “It has no effect on my life – zero,” said the American. http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/01/news/armstrong-defiant-on-doping-claims_155525. You are alone in that, Mr. Armstrong. If you are convicted, it will hurt many. [...]

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.

This will be my view on January 30th. I get in at 8am on Sunday Jan 30th for 3 days of riding bikes in the desert. Dirrrty Biker is picking me up at the airport and I am staying in Tempe with him. I am in need of some sun. All who want to join [...]

I was cruising through the links that people use with their names in the comment section, when I noticed one by Ted: commutebybike.com. I scrolled down to this post and I was surprised to learn that Gabrielle Giffords is a cyclist. She is one of us. The drunkcyclist family is wishing her a speedy recovery and may she be back in [...]

I got this one from the honorable Reverend Dick.   Grab a bike (and your flag) and go get free this weekend. Sometimes freedom actually is free.

Facts are scarce at the moment. Which is another way of saying; I have no idea. But, it doesn’t look good. Cyclingnews has gathered information that the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) is in the process of appealing a case against American cyclist Phillip Zajicek. Cyclingnews also understands that the American was cleared of purchasing EPO [...]

The temps ventured above freezing for the 1st time in weeks and all the snow melted. Today the sun came out and my computer read 61 degrees. On fucking New Year’s eve. Everyone headed outdoors to ride, even Dominic rode to work. I felt giddy with excitement as my workday came to an end. When [...]

I’m sitting square in the middle of my third winter well south of the snow line. I’d be lying if I said I missed it. And, while I’m knocking gin splashed ice cubes off the sides of this glass and spitt’n shit all over the keyboard, I wanna say fuck that “you gotta earn it [...]

My wife and I have been in nonstop travel mode since before Thanksgiving, and about an hour ago, I just got home from Vegas and realized how much I just want to stay at home for, like, an entire month. Alas, Snowbird is calling next month, though I suppose I shouldn’t complain. A week slopeside [...]

At the end of last week I wrapped up my first semester as a graduate student, 25% of the time is completed, yet I feel that only about 0.01% of the actual work has been done.  Oh well, that I’m sure will be another story to be told in the future.  Similar sentiments were shared [...]
