I had to rally down to the Boulder area today for some Cyclocross. See, if I want to get me a trip to Nationals on someone else’s dime, I needed to get this one race out of the way. That’s the good news. The bad news was the collegiate racers would be lining up with [...]

I’ve spent the last week seeing picutres from friends who did the right thing, they scraped together whatever money they had, and got their ass to Kiwi-Land for SSWC.  I picked grad school instead, so in the short term I am regretting not getting down there, in the long term game of life, I’ll see [...]

From: Pépin Hi Jonny I found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3FNdiHLq9s. It was in january 1985, during winter preparation for Bernard HINAULT. Lanarvily’s cyclo cross race, takes place since 1958 in the very far west of France. http://www.cyclo-cross-lanarvily.com/. The badger didn’t win as he was just preparing for his 5th and last victory in Tour de France. Pépin [...]

This was taken about 15 minutes after I finished LT 100. Either pedal your bike or go back to the farm. Snake

came across this tidbit whilst surfing… from the WADA website – paragraph 8 of the “code” SUBSTANCES PROHIBITED IN PARTICULAR SPORTS P1. ALCOHOL Alcohol (ethanol) is prohibited In-Competition only, in the following sports. Detection will be conducted by analysis of breath and/or blood. The doping violation threshold (haematological values) is 0.10 g/L. Aeronautic (FAI) Archery [...]

As promised, part two (part one here). And Corey is still harder than you. From: Corey the Courier The next morning Mike bumped into a shuttle driver who was from Pana that said he could get us there by back roads. I was a bit hesitant as we had already paid the other drivers for [...]

Enough already of all these warm fuzzy feelings. Harden the fuck up people. What would the Badger do? He would ladle out some pain and suffering. Just like Big Pun used to tell me. Less talkie and more doie. Stop talking and start doing. The 2011 season starts yesterday.

just gotta say..it’s quite a thing, this team that is growing… it is humbling….. from getting resumes from pro riders from all over the world (not so unusual apparently if you talk to elite or pro team managers) to having to respond hopefully somewhat diplomatically to riders that are both realistic and unrealistic in their [...]

This in from our man Corey the Courier. He is harder than you. He rode from NYC to Philly to get a cheesesteak. From: Corey the Courier I began seriously training for the 18th CMWC (Cycle Messenger World Championships) after destroying everyone in Philly at this year’s Rocky 8 race. My thinking was that if [...]

I rode up Snowbowl road last week twice. It was the first time I’d done that in years. What’s the occasion? The Gnome informed me there may be a chance I can race at 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo, and I thought it wise to not repeat last year’s performance, in which I crashed [...]

I had plans to do a post today about some quality riding I have gotten to do over the past five days here in Colorado, but alas if it bleeds, it leads.  And by “bleed” I mean, has to deal with professional cyclists doping.  Hump day started so good, free coffee and treats for us [...]

I just got back from my 2nd CX race of the season, and I am coughing, coughing, coughing. I raced down in Louisville for the TDL, put on by my friends, the Websters, at Bike Cliques. I race with the 3/4′s 35+. They start us with the 3/4 open women and today there were probably [...]
