Burt, get some sleep. Its going to be a long day.

The authorities are now awaiting the results of toxicology tests to show the level of alcohol and drugs in Vandenbroucke’s body at the time of death. The Dakar coroner declared last week that he did not have the necessary resources to carry out the tests, suggesting that the body might be released quickly to return [...]

Our man in the field, Hellbelly, proves once again, that all underground is local:
Gnome,
The weather was great and as a result waterline road was extremely crowded with peoples checking out the fall colors especially at the intersection of trails below the inner basin. We had 25 veloluchadores in various stages of inebriation at the top. [...]

Yeah, anger is a healthy thing.

I don’t believe I’ve seen this one before. But, damn if I don’t understand just what he’s saying.

Just remember, no matter how much you think your life sucks (shit job, fucking law school, can’t win a god damn race, girl friend is nuts) at least an ten foot long alligator didn’t rip your arm off just because it felt like it.
Officials say an alligator bit off part of a golfer’s arm [...]

Jonny was right. JR won with a worthy ride. i’ve seen roadies ride mtb’s hard. never have i seen a roadie ride a borrowed bike a handful of times, then [...]

babies and hangovers: they go together like jihad and a plane ticket. conceptually, they are best of friends.
just ask this dude:

 
i think i found the well last night.  It came in the form of a little number i like to call a “nighthawk,” which is like a redbull/vodka, only the point is to make fun of [...]

It means different things to all of us. For some it means going to a place that has limited resources. For some it’s going to a better place. For some it’s going to a place for inspiration or energy.
When I was learning the “particulars” of road cycling up in Flagstaff [...]

So as of late I have been hi-jacking photos off of a friend of a friend of a distant long lost twice removed cousins web page. Most days when I get home from my salt mine I check to see what the hell the world is up too. Once upon a while ago [...]

I used to write stories about riding bicycles. About training, traveling & racing. About my friends that were faster than me. About sleeping on sofas and drinking coffee. About lycra and tan lines. Now I just write about sitting on my ass and driving around Phoenix, Arizona in my “experienced” [...]

I saw this over on Steve Garro’s Coconino Blog. It is a photograph of Doug Roether’s bicycle. A bike Steve made for him.

The image speaks. It speaks volumes. The scene, the orientation of the bike, the bare naked saddle.
The photo was taken somewhere in the glorious southwestern [...]

Not to minimize the horror of this day just eight short years ago, I know full well just how horrible that was and still is. Mad respect. Tip of the pint eastward toward the Big Apple. Love ya, babe.
That said, we’ve got to give a birthday shout-out where one is [...]

It was only months ago that I reported our friend Doug Roether was in a bit of a pinch otherwise known as cancer, and now it seems the moment is at hand for our good friend.
Hello to all,
My time here on this earth is coming to a close. I have fought the good fight & now [...]

Art is as art does. I’ve been thinking of such things of late. I take a lot of photos. My kids. Glasses of beer. Bikes. Plates of food. Shelves full of legal books. I see, I snap.
This is from this morning.
