This whole deal with ESPN and laughter over racers getting hit, has really brought a little dark cloud over the past two days for me. The DC family did an amazing job of raising awareness of the issue and we will still keep moving forward. The unity and support that everybody has shown is absolutely [...]
We Interrupt this Downer Vibe..
Stage 9 – the fucking car hits the riders. WTF!
Got this video from Kevin T. on the Facebooks. Off. The. Hook.
A different type of bike race in France
Came across some high quality photos and videos on the InterWebs of a different type of bike race going on in France. While The Chatel Mountain Style lacks the longevity and panache of Le Tour, the shit being pulled on bikes in rather impressive. Images courtesy of Devon Balet. More images and write ups available [...]
Pugs do Alaska
Even though I live in the desert, I am closer and closer to buying a Pugsley every day. Now this video is pushing me even closer … We beach biked out of Yakutat and bear trail bumbled along Alaska’s outer coast, then trailless stumbling and ocean paddling brought us into Glacier Bay. We carried all [...]
Farrar takes Stage 3
Happy Birthday, America. Image source: http://www.daylife.com/photo/02dxgr81UC5XP. Strictly a class move when he signaled a W for Wouter Weylandt. All class. And big ups to Thor Hushovd too. He was a big part of the win, and it did not go unnoticed. “To have the world champion and yellow jersey work for you to launch the [...]
Day one of the Tour, day 45 of bar prep
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 [...]
The classic of the falling leaves
Tour of Lombardy. The last Monument of the year. The leaves fall upon the roadway and the cycling season in kind. Il Lombardia Trailer Another great dramatic documentary movie about one of the monuments. It’s always great when you don’t know dutch, but inflection and tone can tell you everything. They are planning for a [...]
Shane Perkins
Dude. Get some.
I got RAAM’ed.
The other night I was hanging out at the ol’ Dude N’ Hug watching Vancouver get the snot slapped out of ‘em by perhaps my least favorite hockey team in the NHL, when in walked the great and noble Gnome. We bullshitted for a bit as the Bruins fans (over)celebrated their victory, and got to [...]
Andalucia
I needed a study break. Google found me this little gem. It’s a few years old now, and may well have already been posted here at some point or another. But I’m not sure about that. Anyway, this is some pretty cool stuff. Great music, great images. Fox Bmx – Andalucia
