Race report from Philly: From: 40 Hands Here it goes, based on the picture you may have already viewed, I drug my sorry ass down to the Philly International Race yesterday. The plan was simple, meet some old college friends, watch the race, drink beer, and try not to get the shit kicked out of [...]
One man’s day at the races
DC at Philadelphia International Cycling Championship.
I’ve nothing to add to this picture. All I got was the image forwarded to me by gnome, no text, no nothing. There was, of course, a bike race. Whatever else happened out in Philly today, I’m sure it was grand. Update: The photo is from out own young gun 40 Hands. He also sent [...]

Seriously? Bike doping…
I sure hope not. Check out the video, let us know what you think in the comments. I’m curious to hear what the DC nation has to say about this. I don’t really know what to make of it. My first instinct is to call bullshit. But at this point, nothing would surprise me. Here is [...]

Philadelphia CycloCross School
So a few years ago, 1991 to be exact, I had the good fortune of spending some time racing in Germany. We found some great people who hosted us, fed us, drove us to the races, and put up with us as strangers in a strange land. It was an amazing experience, an opportunity to [...]
More DC at the ATOC
From: Tad F. DC, I chose the T.O.C. over getting my ass kicked @ the State Finals in Flag. Stage 8 was a freak show & I was proud to be a part of it. I even had a chance to drink from the cup on the Big Bear stage. DC was present for the [...]
Alles Auf Basso
Ivan Basso in the lead by something like 51 seconds, taking the pink jersey from David Arroyo in today’s Giro stage. I saw it on TV. An awesome effort, and he didn’t even look tired or sweaty at the finish. Here is a story: uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/cycling. I’m not a gambling man, but I’d place bets on [...]

This is the type of shit that goes down when the BLK13 crew has an alleycat. They are having one this Friday night and if you are anywhere near Rochester, NY you should try to check it out. I guarantee that it will be a rowdy good time. It’s going down at Manhattan Square Park at 10pm. Facebook flyer [...]
Tuesdays with Dirty: Apen’ ain’t easy
It’s true, Apen’ ain’t easy. I decided a while back that I’m going back to Cali to act a fool durring the mountain stage of the Tour of California. Since its always a little depressing to drink alone on the side of the road, I put the call into the Evil Canadian to meet me. He was [...]
