While Snake gets ready to kill it this weekend, I’ve been pondering some thoughts on women’s racing. Since the shitstorm I created this summer, women’s racing has been something I’ve wanted to post about on DC for a long time. Here it goes. As my first year of road racing comes to an end (can [...]
Sad truth about women’s bike racing.
Black Jack
This on in from our boy Snake via cell phone. Plate 21 this year. Black Jack. It pays 2 to 1. Get some.
Number 6.
A very young Marco Pantani in 1989. He would have been all of 19 years old when this was filmed. All class. He simple blows it to pieces. I love the bikes from that era: steel & sleek. Awesome. And, I should note, Marco had a full head of hair back then too. Credit to [...]
Girl on girl MTB race
Once again this is not going to be like Dirty Biker’s 24 hour solo MTB race but Judi’s VERY FIRST MTB race. Yes, somehow I got roped into doing the John Bryan 6 hour as a female/female team with a rippin’ fast CX racer chickie, Nancy. I figured it’d be good for CX practice at [...]
High Cascades 100
The High Cascades 100 is in the books, I am sore, tired, cut/scraped up, walking slow, afraid to cough, and still kind of out of it. Despite all that, the race was a fantastic event, the challenge of racing 100 miles on my mountain bike was a great way to cap off the summer, and [...]
High Cascades Prep
This is how I have been prepping for the High Cascades 100 tomorrow. I wonder I can use the tall bike for the race.
I just like looking at the pictures….
Got this one here. Is it over yet?
Galena Grinder Race Report
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 [...]
Flying the Colors
Would you believe I forgot to get this one posted up? For nearly a month? From: DJB Subject: More shameless DC representation Jonny: The Test of Metal was on June 19th, and as usual approximately 800 other rider show up. Once again the DC jersey drew the comments from fellow racers, the best part is [...]
Tuesdays with Dirty: Tour Memories and a Kalimotxo Haze
Today’s stage of the Tour is very near and dear to my heart. Two years ago I was pedaling all over those same roads having one Drunkcyclist moment after another. I was telling some of the stories from my trip the other night and I thought that I might share one with you guys. It was over a week into my trip [...]
Contador sacks up
Or, he attempts to. We’ll see. My own take is this: There are no gifts. That said, it is a damn shitty way to take the GC. Especially as he may well hold it through till Paris. I’m sure he would have much rather just rode his adversaries clean off his wheel like a champion [...]
HTC one man down
Mark Renshaw of HTC-Columbia, has been given le-boot today after doing a little headbutting in the final stretch. Personally, I think this punishment is too harsh and complete bullshit. Garmin rider Julian Dean made an attempt to squeeze up the side and force Renshaw off his line, but he held it and gave a lil [...]
