Note: We’ll post better video as it becomes available. Please provide links in comment section. Update: “ronde van vlaanderen 2011 final kilometres – Nick Nuyens victory” below. Boonen had so much power, and he almost there. C-Store could feel it too, and he started the sprint early to try and keep the distance. I believe [...]

Found this little gem on Reddit. Thought you guys would appreciate it. —bp. ps : …damn.

After watching that video this evening during a well deserved study break, I have three things to say: Ian Stannard’s late lone bid was gritty (caught at 150 meters!), Gert Steegman is a monster, and Tom Boonen showed them all. Update: Stannard knows what the wind feels like. He is without fear.

I have a rather sickly two year old at home (some vomiting yesterday & last night, but better this morning), so I was unable to sit in front of a computer to watch any of Gent – Wevelgem. That’s the way life goes sometimes, you know. It’s OK. I’d rather have a healthy kid on [...]

Fabian Cancellara took the top spot, crossing the finish alone. Source: http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/e3-prijs-vlaanderen-harelbeke-1-hc/e3-prijs-vlaanderen-harelbeke/photos/164894. After watching him bring the meat-rack and diesel it up proper, I will hereafter attempt to refer to him only as either C-Store or Big Oil for the balance of 2011. Just because I can. Dude brings it like a full display of [...]

Behold. Chess boxing. I thought it was just a Wu Tang song. NPR article.

Milan san remo 2011 final kilometres Tip ‘o the pint toward our own dirty biker for posting this link in the comment section earlier today.

A great video from our friends over at Black Cat Bicycles.    If you are going to drive a couple thousand miles through the southwest, it only makes sense to ride as much as possible along the way. I know what I’m doing this weekend…how about you?

“enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others” Yup. Sounds about right. edited to add : I like the idea of buying local. Don’t we all? this is something I’ve had my eye on for a while. This year’s model is even more sick than the last. Fixie Inc’s PUREBLOOD. —bp

OK, I thought I was getting better at this posting and embedding thing, but apparent it was just an illusion. I tried embedding this one, but was unsuccessful after several tries so I’m resorting to just providing the link. Sorry, I’ll keep trying to learn. Thanks for your patience, hopefully the video makes up for [...]

After a series of catastrophic events in my life last week, I decided it was time to quit smoking the mezz. It’s been 6 days now. My heart races, I don’t sleep, and I have no appetite. It gets better every day though and my brain is no longer a clouded mess of bumbling thoughts. [...]

We got this one from Kent over on the DC Facebook page.  Gilbert, Ballan, Cunego, and Big Swiss were all up there. That is a lot of heavy hitters going into a very narrow final kilometer. Gilbert gets the straight baller award for the day. Watch and learn kids. Velosnooze coverage here. Milan-San Remo is coming up on [...]
