Holy Crapoli!!!
Well, this is gonna be short as I have to catch a flight to Paris. Apparently they need me to ride the Tour. I swore I wasn't gonna post anymore about doping (at least for a day, or two), but with the two big favorites OUT, I think this is a bigger deal Read More...
Believe Tyler!!
In a continuation of yesterday's rant; I am wondering how people who put money down at the Believe Tyler website are feeling now. How about those who stood in line to get his autograph at Interbike(post positive)? If you haven't read, in this whole "Puerto Read More...
Sick as a dog that is sick, Gate City, My Heroes, The dope in Spain falls mostly in the veins
So, Saturday I went for a ride in the mountains, up to the top of Alpine Loop, back down South Fork, Squaw Peak... 4 hours, standard stuff. The last 45 minutes or so, I was worked, but just figured I didn't eat enough. Then, I got home and just didn't Read More...
Stage 2 Provo-Alpine Loop-South Fork-Provo
Wanted to get into the spirit today by wearing the Leader's jersey, but as I have none (because I suck), I had to borrow Kelly's "Long Beach Crit. Series Winner" jersey. This thing is a beaut, just ask Sleevie. At first it appears to be just a white jersey, Read More...
Stage One(a) The Prove-U of U
Distance- 100km-ish. Time- 3:20. Winner: Ryan Barrett. KOM: Ryan Barrett. Sprint Leader: Ryan Barrett. As noted in the "News"(does anyone read this part?), my training stage race started today. Yeah, it started a day late (and several bucks short) as Read More...
Because I Got High Uintas
Before I start this post, I have a note for the guy I just saw in the bathroom. PLEASE, wash your hands. Seriously, I know it is a busy world we live in and time is of the essence, but I really don't want to touch that doorknob ever again. High Uintas Read More...
Today's a Two-Fer: Movie Star Redux
Double your pleasure...So last night, we (SD/GKC C.T.) went out and trained with a car filming us... It was good times. I reckon anyone reading this will know that I was already in "The Hard Road", where I starred as "the skinny guy that didn't win any Read More...
Snoop Doggy Dogg?? Need to Get a Jobby Job!!
So, I am sort-of tentatively looking for a new job. The funding at my current position runs out in December, and I don't know that we'll be re-funded (it's grant based). This is fairly distressing, but I think it's maybe time to move on anyway. So, if Read More...
I rode with Sandy and J-Rad; It wasn't that great...(and something about racing, memories, beltbuckles...)
Heterosexual life partners... Sugarhouse Crit was Saturday... It was good. This is definitely a course for 100k, but instead it was 60 minutes. Therefore, a field sprint ensued. I wanted to win, and was going faster than the guys in front of me at the Read More...
What do I have to do to get Sandy and J-Rad to ride (bikes) with me??
Waking up Wednesday morning, I was ready to face the world. Looked out the window, and "ahhhh, nuts!!!". The HUGE tree in our front yard had split and maybe 1/4 of it was out in the street. Right where I usually park the car. Luckily, the car was in the Read More...
The hat trick, another year older, some other stuff.
The short story is, yeah, I managed to repeat as state road race champion, and three-peat on the Little Mountain course. I am stuck between hoping they use this course forever, and hoping they never use it again, so I can keep my record intact. To make Read More...
Team site, new links, back to the patio.
Here's the beginnings of our team site: http://www.loganraceclub.org/Teams/Elite+Team/default.aspx Also, I am adding new links to the blog all the time, so check 'em out. The patio guy came by and agreed that it was a crap job. He spent 15 minutes sanding Read More...
