And the Northwest heaved a collective sigh of relief.

Well, it did. I wrote the content below before last week which has proven to be icy, snowy and silly again. — I was at my breaking point there for a bit. last weekend was brilliant! The sun rolled in, gave me a sunburn and I finally got some good riding in. “I’ve heard FMB [...]

This guy.

One of the best US field sprinters. He tells me no motorpacing on knobbies, so I don’t motorpace on knobbies. No glory in US field sprinting, get a real job Adam. “I had the impression that Molly, the shop owner, was a pompous dick head” No hate in 08!! Why is everyone so scared of [...]

Weekend update.

Geez! There was so much interest in my old gear from the last post and most of it was sold the day after I wrote about it! Al I have left in USED tyres are: 2 x FMB 34mm custom Racing Ralph $175 the pair! (well used, still in great shape) 1 x FMB 34mm [...]

It is an ad but, it is worth it:

“But doesn’t get petrol more expensive every week.” Hell yeah! It is an ad but worth the whole 7 minutes. The best part about this one is the Flemish announcers FREAKING out about Johan and then Axle Merckx in the sprint finish. They sound like they are going to pee their pants! “come on, come [...]

You make the chocolate muffin? I eat the chocolate muffin.

yeah! This guy deserves an Alice award. I could not afford to attend the Alice Awards this weekend so, I got to do a bunch of paperwork and make muffins! These were the days:

cross? no. more running.

Pete acting crazy. Portland running is kinda like Portland cx. Another great post by Dave Moulton. We watched CB4 last night. holy shit, I forgot how funny that movie is. I remember back when I was bashing the movie Hustle and Flow, m effers need to recognize CB4 has been there, done that. Fear of [...]

not much here. cough.

Still hacking. Trying to get back into a training routine. being sick left me feeling so drained and weak. It has been over a week and I’m still coughing and feeling tired as hell. Cry me a river. This is classic. Good job Sager. Thanks Joe Staples. Damn, that video brings back memories. So does [...]

In between coughs.

Wow. Have not been that sick in a long time. Finally snapped out of it. Though now I have a lingering hacking cough. – Man, the kids love to hate RockRacing! I’ve heard more shit talking than I can handle about the Rock squad over the last few weeks. “Villains!” “Scoundrels!” “They are ruining cycling!” [...]

What do you get when you put a bunch of sickly vegans in a room together?

Sick! Ugh… After 4 days of Portland style epic downpour/long rides in California, half the people at the team camp came down with something bad. Spreads like wildfire in a couple of cramped hotel suites. I feel miserable. Been in bed with a fever for 4 days straight. The flu. cough, cough.
