Honestly, if these kids are being told to dope by their fucking coaches, this is SHIT. Let them fucking race for GOD’S SAKE. The pressure they have [...]

This is going to be a pretty weak post. Mostly because the riding is off the hook right now in the desert southwest and I have better shit to do than type. So here it goes:
This might be the link of the week so far, keep hitting refresh notahipsterbecause.com.
A few years ago I had the pleasure [...]

I’m sick. And sore. I have a cough and am all snotty and shit. My doc called in some cough syrup (minus the hydrocodone). It seems to be helping. A little.
So I’ve missed a long ride this week. Was off the bike 3 days. Who really cares? Is it really going to make a [...]

Flock together, or so the saying goes…
Ricco’s babymomma tests positive for CERA. Shit, that’s soooo 2008! What, was there some juice leftover from ‘08 in the bottom of Ricardo’s gear bag?
Think what you will, but I’m not so convinced The Cobra learned his lesson, let alone repent for his sins. Should he return to the [...]

Goddamn I hate January. This has got to be the suckiest month ever. I haven’t seen the sun in GOD knows how long. The rain comes and goes. It’s up around the 30’s and my backyard is a fucking mud pit. The dogs paws are a pain to keep clean. I can’t stop bitching and [...]

I felt that I should put together some of the shit that has been rolling around in the ol grape, it being a monday n all. There’s really no good reason to live the blog life unless you just make shit up. Gramps was a preacherman too. Then he died. Too.
This is what I bailed [...]

Oh man. Motherfucking DC Representative Reichel & Kate rolled into town last night. They broke me in real good. We chilled at FBC, drank beer & reminisced about our origins into bikes. Talked about King, Palmer, Lopes and all those hoods that made it when the money flowed like swill, and long rides and other [...]

No doubt, most of you out there have seen this little item about Jonathan Page missing a drug test post race after a recent outing. When reading the article, you see that, the Page’s have a ton of excuses about “why” Mr. Page missed his doping test after the race. He crashed. He didn’t finish [...]

Hiya mate,
It’s me again from En-ger-land. Thought you might like to see my new filmic offering. You will have heard of the Three Peaks cyclocross race, no doubt? Our man Rob Jebb won it for a consecutive 7th time and set a new course [...]

I know that most of the time I link some stupid stuff just to keep the website alive. Big Jonny and I have gone a few rounds of drinks talking about how much politics get on this site and how I hate it. Most of the time Big Jon just tells me that if [...]
