Tour of Utah officiating … and idiocy thereof

Every bicycle race has its characters, either in the field, or more often on the side of the road running alongside the peloton (especially on a mountain climb) cheering the riders.

In Utah, we’re no different. Our character is Cris “Sly” Fox, also known in some circles as Slyfox Moonwillow, who has established himself [...]

FS: Tufo Cyclocross tubular tires

It’s almost ‘cross season, and while people are looking for deals, I’m looking to sell a few things. We’ll start with some tires … there may be more items in the future. If interested, leave a comment or drop me an email to flahute at veloworks dot com.

2010 Ride #19

View Ascent activity on 23-May-10 at 01:29PM in a larger map

Just another ride, didn’t feel great, didn’t feel completely shitty either. Ran into Ohran on the bike path above Parley’s and chatted a bit about the upcoming season; only 4 months until the first race, and oddly, it already feels like cyclocross weather. [...]

More Floyd, another POV

I’ve been doing a lot of reading about Floyd Landis the past couple of days … as we all (at least the cyclists in my group of followers) have, I’m sure. Needless to say, most of the commentary from the pundits has been fairly negative against Landis, which I’m beginning to think in many [...]

The Latest on the Doping Front

News from Italy:

The Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) announced that the examination of Italian cyclocross rider Vania Rossi’s B sample has returned a negative result for EPO-CERA.

CONI released the news on its website on Friday with the statement, “In the B sample analysis for Vania Rossi, conducted in the period from March 29 [...]

Cycling.TV comes through in the end

Checked my account this morning, and have now been credited for a full refund, not only for the most recent quarter, but dating back to September 2009, corresponding with the beginning of cyclocross season (which was geo-restricted and not available to US subscribers).

Thanks to Harold Dalton at Cycling.TV for his follow-through in making [...]

Busted!

I guess Richie Rich got tired of sitting on the sidelines while his girlie girl was getting to race … so he decided to take her out by slipping her a little CERA to jack up her Hct values …

Poor Vania … did you not think that being associated with a doper [...]

Ali Goulet podiums at CX Nationals

Congratulations to Ali Goulet of The Church of the Big Ring/ RealCyclist.com … I’ll be adding to this post as I find more information; but I’m damn pleased about that third place, although like many, I’d be happy if Ali were on the top step.

Richard Sachs tells me that Ali was crushing, and [...]

UTCX … the finale … it’s over (for this year).

Another Utah Cyclocross Series in the books … and today was definitely an interesting one.

To start with, both Matt Ohran and Jon Gallagher were out of town … Matt is back east for a Cannondale sales meeting while Jon is in Portland working (and racing) the US Gran Prix of Cyclocross.

That means [...]

UTCX on PCTV

Cyclocross from M.C. Preman on Vimeo.

Looks like the UTCX State Championships got some decent coverage on Park City Television … great interviews with Slohran and Bart, and lots of screen time for The Church of the Big Ring … and even yours truly got a little bit of air time. Yeah, yeah, [...]
