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 [...]

Heber City Mudfest

Started off cold …

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 [...]

Prime Rib rips the DH

Went to Bart Gillespie‘s summer BBQ bash tonight, attended by many of the Utah cycling community, including the Train, Dave Iltis of Cycling Utah, the Peterson clan, mini-Sager, K-day, BZ, amongst others, most of whom probably have no idea whatsoever who I am …

Highlight of the evening was definitely watching Primetime ripping the DH.

More anti-doping bullshit

An open email to WADA and USADA:

Jean-François Lamour, Vice President of WADA recently stated on the WADA website: “In 1987, a counter-analysis completely exonerated me and annulled the results of the A-sample that were performed by the Macolin laboratory in Switzerland. A laboratory that, following several similar errors harming other athletes, had its accreditation [...]

More USADA lies!

Travis Tygart is full of shit: “We absolutely are motivated to find the truth and do the right thing in every case. Our obligation is to protect clean athletes, nothing less and nothing more. And, while this means we have to have the integrity to follow the rules even when they apply to one of [...]
