Time Trial doubling the fun

The Saltair TT is a great way to ruin a perfectly fine Thursday evening. Besides being so hot outside that I nearly passed out trying to pump up the tubular on my disc last night, there were these little bugs that try to fly up your nose. I began to conceptualize

Waterbottles full of fruit juice

Saturday is the big 2nd Annual Draper Days Criterium. I’ve got a quick little ride down the hill to get to the start line Saturday night and I heard a rumor that they are going to put up lights. I guess if we can't be in Boise, we can put on our own show.

some TOFU lowdown

The Tour of Utah is less than 3 weeks away. We’ve got an all-star squad put together including SkynnyB, Hagemonster, The Body a.k.a. Jessica, Zulle a.k.a. A-rock, Party Jack, and yours truly, DH (I keep campaigning for HeavyD or RowD, but I hear Hardwood

1, 2, 3

The DMV was successful on many fronts this week. First, I didn’t get a flat! That has been such a pain. Out of the previous 4 DMV races prior to last night, I flatted twice and won twice. AJ, BadMF and I lined up with the rest of the crowd and we got

I did my usual Tuesday afternoon routine and was pulling into the parking lot at the RMR at 4:55 p.m. to find a line-up of street drag racers lined up to burn rubber down the drag strip. I was thinking how stupid I was for coming out here on the wrong

This looks just like China, except no yaks or yurts…

The Porcupine race weekend is over. Big thanks go out to Mike Meldrum for putting on two great races back to back. I don’t know what to say about the Porcupine Hillclimb on Saturday other than ouch and nice work to Mike and all his volunteers for providing

Stinking Tour!!!!!

The attempt was made last night to avoid having to watch Tour coverage from 10:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Sadly, watching the video tape recording from the 6:30 a.m. broadcast didn’t help much. We ended up watching Freire’s sprint at about 11:50 p.m. Between

Less Talk, More ROCK

Less Talk, More Rock. This motto works equally as well for bike racing as it does for cosmic space-rockin' goodness, except when The Body gets annoyed. If you make The Body mad enough that it results in him saying something to you…well, you’ve really

Gate City Grind '06 - red bull powered dope free fun

Lots of big news has been coming out of France over the weekend. The big news outta Pocatello, Idaho, is that T-bird and J-Lao made their way to put the smack down on all of us in the Gate City Grind. New for the Grind this year was the Prologue. The
