First Vancouver, now the Tour of Utah?

I’m not sure when I started following the stereotypical Utah trait of claiming anyone with even the remotest connection with the state as one of our own. Hell, I’m not even sure when I started thinking of myself as a Utahn (in addition to being from both a Northern Californian and a Tennesseean).

Regardless, it’s [...]

An open letter to Cycling.TV

Armstrong’s blood (an American article)

This is what I wanted to see … some sort of coverage from the American press regarding the recent allegations about Lance Armstrong’s blood samples.

As Rasmus Damsgaard indicates in his response, and even as Mørkebjerg indicated in his original “interpretation” the numbers are hardly conclusive of anything, are really nothing more than speculation, [...]

Scary shit

A shattering experience – A post-recall, R-Sys wheel failure – VeloNews

Coming around a corner, I felt a shimmy through the front of my bike. I straightened up out of the turn to bring the bike under control. A second or two later I catapulted over the handlebars. The rim of my front wheel [...]
