Big Ring caught up Sam Krieg for this mini-interview:
TOCBR: Why should people come race the Gap?
SK: Rumor has it that Lance is dropping out of the GIRO now that LEVI blew it. He will be at the GAP!
Because the gap is probably the best damn road race in Idaho or Utah. The roads are in great shape. A cool climb, no POT HOLES…. And it isn’t an out and back. It is a LOOP that finishes on a climb. The best rider will win. If you have the balls to ride off the front you might just pull the wool over the climbers eyes.
TOCBR: Is the Gap “Big Ring”?
SK: Marco Pantani rode it in the drops 55/11… back in 1996. He was juiced to MAX but it can be done.
That gap can be ridden in the big ring. Most riders will probably ride in their small, but I will give $5! bucks to anyone that pedals it in the 53! I heard when LOUDER raced it he rode the 53/16 for most of the climb!
TOCBR: Will there be beer?
SK: I will provide a cooler of PBR. Just look for a green Honda!
OR …..BYOB…. It is a stellar climb and most categories will finish before the 1-2’s so bring a beer and watch them suffer to the finish! Oh yeah… it is in Idaho so you can pick up some good beer at the SINCLAIR gas station at the base of the climb!

Instant Whey [Reflex]: I really rate this product. I ve been using throughout the day mixed with soaked oats and yoghurt for a great replacement meal. Maximuscle Cyclone Tastes great with milk and alright with water. For an after workout with water only, I like banana flavour. I ve currently got raspberry which I m not a fan of at all, I d really suggest people avoid. Doesn t seem to mix as well as banana either. Going to try choc next. Have seen good lean growth. Would recommend!
