This one got forwarded to me last week. I hadn’t had a chance to post it up till now. Subject: FW: STOLEN BIKE – Downtown Tucson – Watch the Video!! My stepdaughter Rachel’s bike was locked up in front of the Pennington St. garage and was stolen in broad daylight. The surveillance video is 3 [...]
Welcome to Tucson, indeed.
Le Tour de Tryptophan
From: Virgil M.F. Rufus Hey BJ, My friend Steve Boemke puts this on every year and it is kind of cool. This year it is to raise money for a kid battling Leukemia. Link: archive.constantcontact.com. Anything you guys can do would be greatly appreciated. Even if you just come out and pedal. I can’t make [...]
Get out and grind.
Youngest El Tour Finisher
I got an email this morning (a forwarded forward, actually) regarding this past weekend’s El Tour de Tucson. For those of you that have followed the site, you know I’m a big fan of the stories in the middle of the pack. Or, in some cases, as I was often there myself, the story at [...]
Taking it on into the weekend:
Being the dirty old skateboard and bike addict that I am, I tend to watch a lot of videos. Back in the day, it used to be dubbed copies of Curb Dogs and H-Street videos. But now its sitting in front of a computer at work watching the newest (and oldest) stuff online. There are a few videos [...]
“Get drunk, ride bikes, and cock block cars.”
It had been three or four days of very light riding and ‘off bike’ time for me due to an incredible knee pain and getting over a nasty cold that my friend brought back from Mexico City. I needed a good day on the bike, so I cruised down to SoDope to the bowels of [...]
I’ll tell you what it is…
It just so happens, that the Colorado DA who charged those two chicks with felonies for racing with the other one’s bib# at Leadville, is the same DA who let that money bag douche bag off the hook for hitting a cyclist in CO recently. Damn, that’s a lot of links, and a run on [...]
USGP – New Belgium Cup: Photo Journal
Let’s start this off with some beer
golden daze.
i hit the swerves today for 2.5 hours, or in euro time, 10 kilodays. it was a small group, just a camera and a kona and a dickwad you’ve come to know as shankhock. i treasured every single kineto-slide, barkwipe, jog-ram, slab-blaster, lever-chint, and sparkle whip. there were about 30 of each. it was grandeur, [...]
For the weekend, email, video, cyclocross, doping
Lets kick this off with an email: From: Andy I’m pretty sure DC will have a gigantic hard-on for this one. It looks awesome. By the way, DK and I are planning on coming to the fun-fest this weekend. We should meet up and drink beer. I don’t have any details yet, but the “run [...]
Rough Ride Turns 20
My apologies to Dirty, in a perfect world his most recent post would be left up with top billing for the next two weeks. Looks like it has been twenty years since Paul Kimmage dropped the “Rough Ride” bomb on the cycling world. I was six at the time, busy spinning my wheels at the [...]
Find some time to ride today
When I meet people from the DC family out on the trail, the one question I get the most is “How do you know Big Jonny and how did you end up writing for the site?”. I am reminded of this story every year around this time, and today seems like the best day to share it. I always [...]
