This just in from my neighbor, resident hard man runner guy, and all around drunkcyclist, Scandinavian Jesus. Last week I sent him on his way with some extra lights, my gorilla suit, and told him to try and remember enough to give me a report…this is what he came up with: Here’s a quick rundown [...]
Race Report: 24 Hours in the Enchanted Forest
Somebody sign him already.
Look. He said what he did. He came clean. Took him years, but he did it. Someone step up and sign the guy already. Reward truthfulness. Encourage other to do the same in like situations. Push the ball forward. Clean up the sport. The alternative is that other cyclists will continue to deny everything. Because [...]
Surfing the back of the bunch.
Like peanutbutter and jelly, beer and bikes…what could be a better combination?

in the wake of (r)adness.
went “home” this past weekend. “home” is indiana, where pops lives. it was wedding time, and snakehawk’s daddy‘s, as it were. it’s never too late to call it love. this is what the cycling turf of my youth looks like. on days when the wind from michigan was keeping the state from going anywhere, i’d [...]
What is ‘maintenance camp’? Good question.
Maintenance camp’s call sign in 358 FS was “Maintenance One.” and the best part of it was, it was run by an overweight guy that was simply called Goob, a 20 year lifer that did not make it past E5 because of his girth, but this man could run out, take over a launch emergency, and get a jet ready to taxi like nothing you’ve ever seen.
Something in the water?
Seriously, WTF is up with South Carolina? Is everyone there a distant relative of Forrest Gump or something? You guys eat lead-based paint chips? The mold and mildew eating away at your cerebral cortex? And I thought we had some assclowns in this state of mine. But fuck people, what’s wrong with you all? First, [...]
Remember…
Remember when you could ride your bike and not have fear of being killed by an irresponsible dick in an SUV? Remember when you could have a discussion about politics without

Hipsters, the gift that keeps on giving.
This one was talked about at length by the fine word smith knows as Bike Snob NYC no less than three weeks ago. Three weeks is like seven years in webtime. Whatever. We’re not relevant or timely or young or hip. Tell me something I don’t already know and embrace. (Update: Judi tells me she [...]
Tuesdays with Dirty: Beards of a Feather…
I’m just off the plane from Bend, OR and that was one hell of a trip. The official goal of this trip was to meet up with some friends that were competing in the National Beard and Moustache Championships. In reality it was an excuse to ride some buff singletrack, chill with old friends, and [...]
