Team Hoffenchard. Another Goddamned team with their shit figured. They requested some sponsorship. I think DC is obligated.
And did you know SSCXWC is coming up. While Wicknasty nabbed it last year, will it be the same again? So many good, soulful races around. So little time. DC was happy to contribute to the schwag bag [...]

Bells Mountain Bike Team. Finally, a team that has its priorities straight:

The Italians taking a stand? Nobody cares.
And, if you want to know just exactly what and where you can ride a bike in all of Arizona, you’ll want this handy pdf.
We Are The Ones Project. A cool gallery of common Obama folk. I’m sure the McSame version is similar except for better clothes and everyone [...]

The coolest thing I could be doing right now, is chill’n sideline at a cross race somewhere swilling some shit beer. That would be tops. I might even pay a cover. Ah, there’s nothing like heckling a couple dozen spandex knuckle heads as they crush themselves amongst friends.
My man Latham chimed in the other day [...]

Happy Friday. May your weekend ride be top notch.

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 [...]

After reading that last post here on DC, it reminded me of the “no pun intended page”.
It also reminds me of the time I tried to go 2 to 1 with the Big Pun on drinks. Futility at its finest.
Fuck Mondays suck some ass.

Just sat through a lengthy c-span symposium including Rob Dugger, who I just met on the T.V. He seems pretty smart. The word of the day according to him, and in reference to the S&L [...]

Pines to the Mines, good and gone. It was a race at the front while the autobus rolled on. Winning time this year was 4.5 hours for 80 plus miles off road. Can you believe that? Some day, when I remove my head from my ass, I’ll prepare to crush myself at this event because [...]

The Eagles just… lost to Da Bears. Sorry Sausage, but you got another gloomy day ahead. Not that it helps, but, at least it wasn’t to the Cowboys…
Johnny,
I just moved to Manchester, UK. Cycling is has a great presence in the city as normal means of transportation. Within a week of being here I witnessed [...]

Many thanks to all who purchased beanies from the technologically advanced, drunkcyclist store over the last couple of weeks. They are sold out now, and the last few are being sent out today. Again, thanks for supporting the site.

Can we call it a peak, or is fixie culture going to stay around? Pollard pulled off what I think is the first Alley Cat in Flagstaff. Of course, I’m so old, I’ve never even been to one, the closest I came, were some 3 hour training rides with Gubba Gubba Domenic and I thought [...]

Got this one in from Corey over the long dick weekend…

On Sunday I got in another ride of one hour. I went _maybe_ 10 miles.
It is better than nothing I suppose

Jonny,
This link is worthy of your site: anybody, anywhere sees this rotten, thieving dirtbag on the street, he must be dealt with — and harshly.

This Segway Faceplant made my day. It reminded me of my own, retarded fat-girl wreck last week, of which I’m still recovering and only when I sneeze, do I cry about it. I watched it about 5 times. I hope you get the same satisfaction out of it. And we can thank Chet, my redneck [...]

Every time I eat shit, I do it in the lamest way possible.
Riding up the urban trail a couple of days ago on the townie to go watch some softball. I was minding the evening sky, looking at the stars and otherwise not paying attention to anything. With no lights, the last thing I saw [...]

One time out on the road, a few years ago, when I actually rode a bike more than once every two weeks (yeah, it’s that bad), my man Philly told me “Take it easy on me. I’m an old man” or some shit like that.
I looked at him and said something along the lines [...]
