Whoa, it’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these race reports. I know all the brothers and sisters of the Big Ring have missed me, but that damn thing known as schoolwork has been getting in the way a lot. Anyway, enough of my excuses, here’s the word from the Whiskey Off Road 50 Proof race:
I’m going to start this adventure off on the evening before the race. I was...

Cadel looked good today as well. Where was Astana? Stage racers only I guess. I can only imagine what a leg crusher the Mur de Huy must be if those guys are grinding like that. Enough wattage to power a fleet of hippies in Prius’ on Earth...
Big Ring and Not So Much...
Big Ring -Ivanov at Amstel. When Putin says “You must win”, you must win. -BMC at Battenkill. Hard men win hard races. -Sauser at Sea Slaghter. 4 minutes? Dude…. Not -Theo Bos, how can you say that was not on purpose with a straight face? -Tyler, dude…. -Rock Racing firing Creed, Baldwin, and Grajales. Circling the drain in $300...For Tyler...

I am not sure I buy Tylers story that he willingly took an over the counter medication that he knew contained DHEA. Sounds like typical BS from a know dope fiend. If he has clinical depression then I wish him all the best in staying on top of that. I really do. Given his history of not taking ownership of his doping ways though it...
Big Winner...
So glad tax day has come and gone. The “real” job will slow down considerably (hopefully not to the point of going on the dole), the weather will get better and beer will taste better. Something like that. So the winner of the Roubaix contest is Bob Kimzey of Sac Town in No Cal. There were surprisingly only 2 with Boonen as the big winner and they both also...Chamois Time...
You would think that with an entourage (whose entire meal ticket is Lance racing A Tour de France) around him to make him fast, someone would have reminded Lance that chamois time is training time. All he had to do was wait 20 minutes to jump in the shower. Johan where were you on this one? Say it, chamois time is training time! The thing that really sucks about all this is if he...Viking Power...

My unblemished record of not accurately predicting the winner of pretty much any race remains in tact. Cavendish never got the chance to sprint at Gent today, his herring eating team mate Edvald Boasson Hagen saved the day for Columbia.
From the reports I read it sounded like a first rate Belgian slugfest. 5 hours of echelons, cobbles and Murs. Cav, Boonen and...
Gent...
Show of hands. Anyone out there who thinks Cavendish won’t win tomorrow? Do yourself a favor and head over to Embrocation Cycling Journal and get a peek at what riding in Belgium is like for a mortal. Great roads, bad weather, great beer and frites. They are living the dream for...Stijn Does I Agajn...
QuickStep seems to have the Classics pretty much dialed. Once again they put on a clininc of how to race as a team. Then again tactics don’t really mean much unless you have the horsepower to pull it off. Tactics aside I was staring slack jawed when Stijn bridged up to the break and again when he attacked the break and went away for good on the Grammont. You could almost hear the...
