Looking California, Feeling Like a Poser
The last few seasons I have raced as much as I could. I tested different formats and profiles, trying to find what suited me, and what I liked. Every ride was for “training” and assigned grave importance. Sometimes I rode by the numbers and data. Sometimes I rode by feeling, knowing what I needed – [...]
Are There Any Heros Left?
I guess I need to weigh in on the latest Lance. I may sound like a bit of a hypocrite for saying this but leave him alone. My feeling on Lance is they had their chance to make this stick while he was still active. I do not believe in fairy tales and I am [...]

Big Boutte
I get asked a lot “What is Big RIng?”. Big Ring is really all about charging ahead and not letting anything stop you. Too fat, too slow, too busy. Bullshit! Big Ring means you find a way. When Ronnie Boutte asked to join the team he talked big about how he wants to get back [...]
Big Ring, Not Big Ring 2/8/11
