It’s finished …

… another Utah cyclocross season in the bag, over and done.

And while I didn’t race much this year; I think I only did two of the ten races, I had a fabulous season (I’ve been using that word way too much lately), primarily because of the people I’ve met and befriended this year, and [...]

Utah Cyclocross State Championships

Utah Cyclocross State Championships on Saturday, 11/10/2007 at Wheeler Farm.

My race was not so good … one of my teammates flatted in the first half-lap; so I gave up my rear wheel to him so he could continue; especially considering that he paid to race (my entry fees are comp’ed since I help officiate [...]

CX-y Steves of Utah

The Reverend Steven P. has got his ugly face on …

… while Steve Wasmund continues to rock the single-speed category. Wonder how he’d do if he manned up and rode gears against Bart without doing the single-speed category first?

But it turned into an absolutely beautiful day … wish I felt better, since I would have loved to have gotten in more than one [...]

Settling in …

Also went for my first ride in about 3 weeks today … very brief, down to Cotton Bottom, then back up through Holladay up through Millcreek to Tanner Park; where I ran into Ali Goulet, Kathy Sherwin and Bart Gillespie‘s cyclocross clinic.

The Newb was there, [...]

Quote of the Day (yesterday)

Me (to Bart Gillespie, in the middle of yesterday’s 95-degree CX sufferfest): “What’s better? This, or road racing in a hurricane?”

Bart (riding like he’s out for a Sunday cruise, but face looking like he’s about to hurl): “Hurricane!”

Since when …

… did Michael Ass-munchin’ learn to time trial?

From VeloNews.com’s coverage of today’s stage:

To no one’s surprise the first individual time trial of the 2007 Tour de France proved a decisive affair. What was unexpected was the ride of yellow-jersey holder Michael Rasmussen. Instead of cracking under the weight of ongoing doping allegations and [...]

Tour-ku

Tour-ku

Tour de France riders, starting the prologue, alone save the ticking clock.

Visions of heroes, of Bartali and Coppi, Anquetil and Merckx.

Early flat stages, sprints, breakaways, escapes, crashes for little glory.

Sweat drips, sun beats down bursting lungs, heart pumping, tanned legs pedal faster.

Mountains loom higher, peloton climbs, eagles fly, many riders [...]
