Oh, you had better believe it buddy. The last three years have been nothing short of hell. So glad that it’s over. A few years back I figured out trying to ship a bike back and forth across the country was a giant sized pain in the ass. And don’t get me started with dragging [...]

I was very impressed this morning. Cadel Evans is a worthy winner of the 2011 Tour de France. He earned this. Andy Schleck left nothing on the road. He attacked with panache, he rode for the win, and he did all that he could. “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who [...]

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, now you too can be outfitted with a pair of genuine Schlecktacles. Perfect for the cyclist who spends 90% of his time looking at what’s going on behind him.

Today was Torts day. Or, rather today is Torts day. Because this day ain’t over by a long shot. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, consider yourself lucky. Anyway, it’s dinner time, the whole fam is home, and I’m going to fire off this one quick little rest-day gem: Image source: http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/07/road/2011-tour-de-france-rest-day-gallery_183240/attachment/183249.

100 degrees + Mounatin bike ride = Coors with ice at 10am Act like you know.

I went to France and all I got was a broken nose, a concussion, some fries and a royal with cheese. Image source: http://twitpic.com/5o76et. Can you tell I just took a study break?

It seems that things have been pretty uneventful lately. Or maybe I have just been boring? I haven’t clipped into pedals in over 3 weeks and I’m OK with it, for now. I really haven’t felt the need to put in the miles since my epic fail out at the the 24 hours in the [...]

The Tour started today. I’ve been too busy to watch it. And I’ve pretty much resigned myself to not following the race this year as I have in years past. Too much on my plate to burn up a few hours a day watching television. That said, I can still read about it! Philippe Gilbert [...]

Big Jonny sent me an email the other day. It was simply titled “For Dirty” and contained nothing but a link. He is a good guy that Jonny, a good guy indeed.

Another one in from our Far East Correspondent Response. The Ride of Silence event occurred several weeks ago. I’m a little late in posting this. But, I’ve been a bit buried with this bar review course I’m taking this summer. Better late than never, right? Well, Last night I busted a move to Tsim Sha [...]
