FINALS – OVER!  Today!  My last out-processing appointment with Sgt. Beer has NOT been canceled or postponed.  ORDERS:  Go directly at Beer:30 to appointment.

I’m posting mainly to tell you about an incredible wine that I’ve discovered – for $8.99 at Mt. Vernon Coop – look for it at YOUR wine merchant.  Buy as many bottles [...]

You know those “reviews” on MTBR.com that are written by somebody who says, “just bought it, haven’t ridden it yet, but it looks great hanging in my garage?”
This isn’t one of those reviews.
On a lark at the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo, in February, i bought a pair of Ergon GX-1 grips at a [...]

I wouldn’t say it was reluctance that it took me this long to write about an xtracycle I picked up from the heads at biketrailershop.com. But then, after I put down the cash for the freeradical(FR), it sat in the garage for months while I slept through the pain of spring. A few weeks or maybe months [...]

Tubeless. Love it AND hate it. I’ve reluctantly embraced the idea since it rolled out a decade ago (already), but it has never been pretty. Failure was common, and I’d bounce between tubeless and tubed setups as the inevitable tubeless-failure occured. Years later, it seems the improvements to the technology have come around… for the most [...]

Being ever so scientific minded and having been presented over the years with a number of “sure-fire” hangover cures, I thought it was high time to cut through the crap and do a little scientific research. Put it to rest once-and-for-all, as it were.
While there are any number of fixes for the brown-bottle [...]

anybody like bikes around here?
of course you do.
And i like my old bike, a bitchin’ black stumpjumper. XTR’d out. in fact, as old parts go, this generation of XTR was hands down the best. big rings, clean lines, good times. Oh, and there’s a 2007 XTR wheelset, Hope Mono Mini’s (160 mm front, 140 mm [...]

I’m developing some new clipless shoes and would appreciate any feedback from any of you. These should be much better on bikepunk’s knees.

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 [...]

I started writing this post back before I sold my house in Flagstaff and moved to Phoenix. That’d make this thing a least three weeks ride. It is still worth posting? Probably. People are still taking about gas prices. And people are still chanting the mantra of “Drill Here. [...]

I don’t know much about Blazin’ Saddles, but I love his stuff.
A few choice bits below:
Tour de France – Blazin’ Saddles: Liqui-blast
Eurosport – Sat, 12 Jul 13:02:00 2008
The honeymoon is over. Just when the world started to believe in a clean Tour, along came the moment that so many had anticipated: a rider tests positive.
The [...]

 jaun grande and i were sitting around over at drunk-cyclist HQ when we heard the familiar sound of the postman. we looked at each other and immediatly the anticipation of what lay in the black metal box at the curb covered the both of us in goose-pimples. there was a padded envelope inside, and inside [...]

There are days when things come together. And some days when things get so strange, you know it will come together, because it can’t not. Know what I mean?
This weekend was one of those times. The Mormon Sensation and I rolled up to Cortez CO to do the 12 Hours of Mesa Verde, as has [...]

First off my legs still hurt. Well another Whiskey in the books. Big ups to Sad Cow and his crew for putting on another great race. If you reading this and you haven’t made it out to AZ to do one of these races then you’re missing out. This is what [...]

Here’s a look at my buddy HamFists new bike.

Nothing like a tight box if you want a stiff ride…

Thank you to FORT Frames as this bike managed to win a race on Sunday.  And I’m sure it was the bike, not the rider….

This is why Dick Pound was not invited to the premiere of the latest Stallone movie:

By the way, HGH is not simply an amino acid, it is composed of 191 amino acids. All proteins are composed of amino acids and if all you were looking for was amino acids, you can get all 20 from [...]

we got there friday night and it was raining, it had been raining for a while, and it was going to be raining for a while. my camper shell leaked and got most of my stuff real wet, and i was sleeping in there, so i was also damp come morning.
i put back a [...]

What to get the girl who has everything? Get her a chopstick push-up bra.

Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a rice bowl and set of your own chopsticks. Or maybe it just says ‘I’m hungry’. I’m not too sure.

…then kill yourselves.
I recently came across a deal that was too good to be true. The On-One Superlight Carbon 29′er fork was on sale. I had been considering this fork for a while, but the exchange rate from Pounds Sterling to U.S. Dollars is something like waking up next to the fat ugly wingman of [...]
