What a shit show. Lance is banned for doping. Of course he doped, they all doped and he should have been caught. Just like Tyler, Floyd, Ullrich, Pantani, Heras, Basso, Ricco…. None of them deserve our sympathy, they cheated they lied they took the big gamble for the big reward and failed. Fuck them. Cycling [...]
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Mike Tyson If there is one thing I have learned in the past year it is plans are a good starting point but the finish is usually not in the original plan. 2 huge loses changed my world entirely and suddenly the bike seemed [...]
Yup, we all get in them. In a lot of ways I am in a massive one that no ones really needs to hear about. One place I am not in a rut is in my training and riding, not this year anyway. After taking last season off (somewhat intentionally) I had a lot of [...]
So Boonen and Cancellara have thrown their hats in the ring as contenders for the northern Classics. Boonoen not only save the day for Quickstep by getting Levi in the break but then he throws down for the win at Paris Nice. He already proved he has the legs (if not the head) at Omloop [...]

So I guess Jan Ullrich won’t be lining up for LeTour this year. Thank you CAS for saving us all. Whatever Jan brought the thunder in his day. I am all for cleaning up the sport and i think it is safe to say cycling is among the cleanest sports out there right now. I [...]
Depending on what part of the country you live in the early season races are starting to pop up. If you live in a place that has winter this usually means driving 12-14 hours to blind people with your ghostly white legs that have not seen the sun since October. All those hours on your [...]
Thought I would lighten up a bit today. This made me smile. bike ♥ from Rick Darge on Vimeo.
Team Big Ring is an amazing group of people. I feel fortunate to be associated with such a diverse and talented group. Team rider Tommy Chandler not only won the last race of the UTCX he then put his considerable skills with a lens to work and shot this gorgeous clip of the Mens A [...]
To paraphrase the late great Hunter S. Thompson “Bike racing is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuckoffs and misfits — a false doorway to the backside of life”. At the upper levels a Pro Tour rider will log 30,000 miles in a season. At the local fred level [...]
