Alright, so it was late (for me) when I posted this up last night, but wanted to do some writing on this. I am very happy for Thor “Motherfucking” Hushovd to have won this world championship. I am also happy (as someone said in the comments section already) as a self admitted non-fan of Cadel [...]
Picture says it all!
Ride The Divide Documentary
Not sure how well the word has gotten out about this one, but I did enjoy a nice lab writing break to watch the first ten minutes. You can go ahead and view Ride The Divide on YouTube in its entirety for free, but only for a limited time (I embedded the video, but if [...]
Katie takes 1st at USGP opener
Interesting. Katie was injured for CX Vegas but kicked some ass today in Wisconsin at the USGP. Maybe it’s the equal prize money? I am glad to see her racing again. Coming off her own knee issues suffered at the UCI World Mountain Bike Championship, Katie Compton (Planet Bike/Stevens) decided to race the day before. [...]
What might have been
It is far too easy to judge the choices a man makes when you haven’t ridden a 100 miles in his shoes. Even if those shoes are hiking boots. Should I have ever been headed for classic or Tour podiums surely I would have entered the full-blown ’roid ranks. Dangle Liège or Paris glory in [...]
Moose Cross
Got this gem in the inbox from my buddy Bergy down in Victor, ID: Yo Andrew, What up dude? Find your fixie girl yet? Thanks for help with the PR. www.moosecross.com October 2+3 I’ll know in a day or two for sure, but this year we are hoping to re-route part of the course around [...]
Tuesdays with Dirty: Burn one down.
Last week I got a call from Scandinavian Jesus talking some nonsense about riding in a 100 mile mountain bike race that was going to be all on fire roads. I wished him luck and then went about the rest of my day. He waited until later in that evening, after I already had a few adult beverages, and asked [...]
More Vuelta

MDOT, USGP and a flatland reunion.
Two weeks ago I went down to Louisville for the Ironman. I was volunteering as a kayak-er for the swimmers and then cheering my friends on the run course. I was 99.9% sure I didn’t want to sign up for IMKY 2011 but this trip finalized my decision. I’ve been thinking about the IM a [...]
We Got a Spot Waiting for Frishy too
With the recent news of Schleck and O’Grady getting the boot from the Veulta for getting their drink on, I came across this gem of a photo from this past weekend’s World Championships at Mount Saint Anne. Photo by Tom Moran on Singletrack The race organizers up in Canada, were smart enough to put on [...]

The Long Haul, the Short Haul, and the White Minivan
For those of you who have never visited the fine burg that is Flagstaff, Arizona, there is a watering hole/convenience store/refuge for dorky cyclists known as the Pay N’ Take that is unlike any other establishment in which I have become inebriated. When I first moved to this town, I spent most nights sitting at [...]
