Former Gerolsteiner manager Hans-Michael Holczer has revealed that he went close to suspending his team’s top rider Levi Leipheimer during the 2005 Tour de France, due to suspicions of doping. The German has just released a book, entitled Garantiert Positiv, about his experiences in the pro peloton, and said that the American went extremely close [...]

So here’s a few topics for discussion: A) I basically have a new bike. Basically. I have had the frame for a couple of years now, and the wheels too, but over the course of the last month, a component has broken just about every ride. The first to go was the seatpost. Then the [...]

It is said that comfort leads to ruin, that adversity creates strength; it is also said that one should not rest in Haran. Take my word for it – keep moving when you get to Haran.  We all have a place that that is…. mediocrity, stagnation, and the opposite of success.  My Haran sentence is [...]

I didn’t have a whole lot of time, but I had a whole lot of reason, a whole lot of want, and a whole lot of bike.  (41 unloaded pounds of bike, to be exact.) For years, I’ve been allowing the distance between “the well” and me to grow.  I’ve been watering it, excusing it, [...]

Here ya go, I got videos, photos, and stories from the past five days for all ya.  Starting back on Tuesday when nine fine folks got together to go for a MTB ride outside of Stanley, ID.  Greg put installing a new kitchen faucet on hold, and Club Ride Mike took a break for selling [...]

Where to begin. It’s been a hell of a couple weeks for me. To start, today’s my 40th. I’m not all emotional about it. I am kind of proud of it. I started telling people I was 40 two months ago. Plus you know, that race age shit. Anyways. No big plans. I am actually [...]

Here is a quick photo that I snapped from yesterday’s ride outside of Stanley, ID.  Once more photos and videos are collected, I will have a chance to provide a proper posting of the riding from the past few days.  The final verdict is that you need to get to Sun Valley, ID and Stanley, [...]

Our man Dave is doing his part. And he would like your help. From: Dave B. Subject: Help me get injured soldiers to the starting line! Jonny, I’m taking on the challenge of a lifetime (2.4 mile swim, 112 bike, and 26.2 mile run) and I’m writing today to ask for your help. You see, [...]

We can all make the joke about having them. Some of us more than others. (I’m looking in your direction, BJ.) What makes this site special isn’t just the beer, bikes, boobs mentality; it’s that we all stick together when shit goes sideways. Info about Jonny went up all over and people responded with well-wishes [...]

The 2010 edition of the Galena Grinder is in the books, and let me tell you, it was a fucking awesome time.  Seriously if you have never had the chance to try this race out, mark your calender for some weekend next year in July, and plan a trip up to Sun Valley, ID to [...]

As Joe Biden is prone to say, “This is a big fucking deal.” Floyd Landis took his accusations against Lance Armstrong to the airwaves Friday night, slamming the seven-time Tour de France champion with his most blunt attack yet. “I saw Lance Armstrong using drugs.” . . . “Look, at some point, people have to [...]

Get a load of this: In the ultimate drubbing of an embattled man, they are ridiculing him as a wimpy has-been, a ceremonial rider, a hapless greeter who shakes hands and kisses babies, just another spectator watching the race he used to dominate. All through France, all through the cycling domain, Lance Armstrong is seen [...]
