Off The Back...

Sorry about the total lackof updates.  I have been at the Tour of Cali watching some Big Ringing and never realy got around to posting.  I will write something and post some pics tomorrow hopefully.  I also have a kick ass report from 24hrs of Old Pueblo written by Brother Lee to post.  Need...

Smack Down!...

I don’t know Lance Armstrong personally. I don’t know if he is a jerk in person or not and really I don’t care.  If I got the chance to meet him I would shake his hand and say “Thank You”.  I would thank him for all he has done for the cancer community.  I would thank him for giving those with no hope, hope.  I would thank him for doing something that...

One Day As A Lion/It’s Good To Be ...

is Better to live one single day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep - motto of the Battle of the River Piave Katie Compton and Niels Albert both tried bold moves early with different results.  In the women’s race Katie took it to the other girls early with a wicked start that opened up a big gap Hanka Kupfernagel, Marianne Vos and France’s Christel Ferrier-Bruneau...
