Nice to see a little racing….
From: Bumpus
Great weekend at the Erdinger Gran Prix of Gloucester. First ever beer tent in gloucester, (it only took 10 years) Thought everyone would like a quick video shot by our friend Mark at Eastern Boarder, and some photos from the race. you can put the vid right into your [...]
Be Like Dave Weins. A Consummate pro, and all around nice guy. Everyone ought to be a little more like him. Top Notch write up over at the nytimes.com. Thanks to Sad Cow for the heads up.
Positive commentary only.
Oil at $81. Com’on Dow, gimme 8000 or less. No Whammy No Whammy!. Again, this plane is definitely crashing. The response from McSame?
“If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we’re going to lose”
So, instead of mud slinging because the economy isn’t a good talking point, why don’t you just go ahead and loose “John”. [...]
Dan over at MileWideSports.com had a good ride with Nod & friends in Sedona last weekend where they happened to run into Thomas Frischknecht and some dude named Tom Ritchey, who flew in for the day to ride some prime redrock after the Vegas deal. Frischy gives a little insight on his retirement and riding [...]
I don’t have much on this yet – I’ve been buried in books at the law school library – but it looks like ‘ol Mountain Goat McGehee and Jackass showed ‘em a clean set of wheels at the 508. Maybe we’ll see a race report from one or both of ‘em in the [...]
My dad told me a story one time. Here goes,
One day a man goes to a conference talking about how to be a better this and that. People talking about how you need to feel good about yourself in order to have a positive impact on the world. That type of stuff. [...]
At 11:30am, the guy that sits behind me in EMT class, starts mumbling about how the fire dept wants to take his mullet from him in order to hire him. He’s got real narrow, sunken eyes. He yanks on it a bit and proclaims “they ain’t tak’n mah hair”, then pulls a pocket knife from [...]

I took Chad to Tumaccori once when he was a Cat 3. He wanted his up grade to Cat 2. I told him to bring his resume for Al Hopper. When he reached into his pocket he had a spirial bound [...]
How it really happened
Just think, only 10 years ago the Mountain Bike Association of Arizona held multiday events sponsored by companies like Budweiser and Canondale. Ah yes, those were the days. Thankfully, the trendy popularity of mtb receded over the decade to follow and riding & racing a mountain bike is closer to the soul again. While the [...]
Got this one in from Corey over the long dick weekend…
From: Corey the Courier
At the 2008 North American Cycle Courier Championships in Chicago, Illinois. Although I am smooth as an eel covered in astroglide, I have lost a bit of speed. But then the fast guys are never the life of the party.
Tonight: I’ll be [...]
On Sunday I got in another ride of one hour. I went _maybe_ 10 miles.
It is better than nothing I suppose

Yep, in his own words. And I’m not going to bother posting any of his words. The pics are enough. Must already have a dozen emails (so far) with people sending shit in.
Bottom line: Our man Chris was at SSWC spreading the love like mayonnaise.
And if that didn’t gross you [...]
Since the DC crew is old, and can’t find the time to get out to the sswc since 2002, at least we have things like this to keep us in the loop:

Cheers to the DC clad, beer gutted, single speeder charging at Worlds today in Napa!!! I just pulled a dusty DC [...]
Sometimes I get a piece of something, like this email here for instance, that I just know is going to land a great big old pile of shit right here on top of my shoes. And I like my shoes. Or, maybe I’m not wearing shoes. Or pants. I digress. [...]
You won’t meet a nicer guy than triathlete Simon Whitfield – who just coincidentally happens to be a world class athlete. It has been a pleasure to train with Simon and crew up here in Flagstaff and it looks like it has paid off for the 2 X Olympic Medalist (gold in 2000-Sydney and silver [...]
I know, I know…. Bike Racers Are Crazy is not a headline — it’s not really news to those of us that read this site and it is certainly not news to me. However, after driving the RideClean team car in the caravan at the Tour of Utah for 5 days, it was reinforced [...]
The first race report from this year’s Leadville 100.
Snake, still waiting on yours…
From: Jon
Subject: Leadville
Hey Jonny,
Here’s a race report. I hope it isn’t too long.
The big story was toeing the line with legendary cyclists at Leadville: Dave Wiens, Jake “The Snake” Rubelt, and, of course, Lance Armstrong. Well, I shouldn’t say that [...]
Leadville was off the hook this year, with a fallen record and another win (making 5 or 6 consecutive now?) for Wiens. Nice work to them all, including LA, and especially, the DC boys. Rubelt and Juan layed it down in good style:
