2010 UTCX #10 (Mud, Snow & No Brakes)

Another video from the inimitable Sam Ray from this past weekend’s penultimate UTCX race for 2010, held at Fort Buenaventura in beautiful Ogden, Utah. You could tell which riders weren’t going super hard, because they were the only ones that managed to stay semi-clean. Everyone else, especially Kevin Hulick (the eventual winner), was caked.

Clammy Chamois ‘Cross

You know you don’t really want a week off between cross races … you’d have to do stuff like CHORES! or spending time with the FAMILY? It’s time to get the chamois clammy … it’s time to roll in the mud and sand and dirt and grass and snow. It’s time for Clammy Chamois!

2010 Ride #16

View Ascent activity on 15-May-10 at 12:32PM in a larger map

Felt like complete shit today … think my lungs may have worked better in the 1990s when I was still a smoker … I had multiple people ask me if I was doing okay; one woman who was running even turned around and came [...]

Heber wrap-up

Woke up Saturday morning to clear, blue, perfect skies in Salt Lake City … and drove into pea-soup thick fog in Heber.

The course was muddy, thick, sticky, peanut-butter mud, but not the kind of peanut butter that Marit would want to use to make cookies.

Of course, the conditions wouldn’t last, and by [...]

SHADWELL STAIR

I am the ghost of Shadwell Stair.        Along the wharves by the water-house,        And through the cavernous slaughter-house, I am the shadow that walks there.

Yet I have flesh both firm and cool,        And eyes tumultuous as the gems        Of moons and lamps in the full Thames When dusk sails wavering down [...]

Poetry Friday (Sailing Edition)

ALL THOSE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED

All those ships that never sailed The ones with their seacocks open That were scuttled in their stalls … Today I bring them back Huge and transitory And let them sail Forever.

All those flowers that you never grew— that you wanted to grow The ones that were [...]

Big Ring: Andy Hampsten and the 1988 Giro

VeloNews | Andy Hampsten and the 1988 Pink Jersey

How do you define an epic? It’s a noun grossly over-used by sportswriters, particularly those who write about cycling. Through the years, European journalists have described heroic deeds by brave athletes on bicycles with gushing prose that was rarely deserved. They even titled road racing’s formative [...]

Queen of the Classics

“A Paris-Roubaix without rain is not a true Paris-Roubaix. Throw in a little snow as well, it’s not serious.” — Sean Kelly

In just a few short hours, the 106th edition of Paris-Roubaix will depart the streets of Compiègne, heading north some 260 kilometers to the industrial town of Roubaix; along the way, encountering 28 [...]
