I am glad to read that there are some other sports getting cracked down on now about using drugs other than cycling.
The news comes close on the heels of a report that found widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs in interspecies competition. Officials describe the action against Hare as “the first step in a new get-tough [...]

Reading this story makes me so pissed off at some of the efforts of some people.  Sure, it is a great concept, but seriously.  Why does he put so much effort into helping another country when children in our own country don’t have schools to attend??  I mean really.  Let’s be every one else’s savior [...]

I think, for any of us cyclists, this is and should be our worst nightmare. Actually, this situation, except for the some of the goodies, would be anyones worst nightmare. I really feel for the guy:
Last Monday I stepped out of the house at 9:48am. I’m that sure about it because I was [...]

Sure, there has been a lack of posting, but there has to be a good reason right?? Well, there isn’t. Nothing too exciting has been going on here recently. We got a bunch of snow, so I have been out skiing at Wildcat twice, and I have shoveled my driveway a whole [...]

It is getting a little warmer here in the North East (about 45 degrees) and I am stuck inside in my office just staring at the sun, unable to get out there and enjoy it.  Why did I have to graduate from college, join the “real world” and have some responsibilities??  If I were still [...]

Lazy. That about sums up how I feel right now. Too lazy to ride, too lazy to hike, too lazy to even write a post on here. Hopefully this funk gets cleared out. I went on a 20(ish) mile ride on the fixed gear on Saturday, which felt good. Something [...]

You can go ahead and file this one under the “WAAAAHHHH!!! I didn’t get my way so I am taking my ball and going home..”
From Velonews:
“I am stopping competition … It’s a definitive decision,” he told a news conference. “I don’t want this sport anymore … I’m slamming the door and I’m leaving.”
“It’s sad that [...]

Here is a recent post from Fatcyclist that caught my eye and I figured I would share it. Elden has a nicely done site with a whole bunch of posts like this. I would add this to your daily reads, I have. Anyway, you can go ahead and file this one under [...]

I didn’t do squat yesterday, or at least nothing worth while in terms of the training.  Got up, went to work, came home, walked the dog, blah, blah, blah.  It was almost a conscious effort to not ride on the trainer.  My feeling at this point is that it almost feels like I “have” to [...]

Just another day here in good old New Hampshire.  Today was a bit warmer than the past as it was actually above freezing for a little.  After talking to a few, it seems different parts of the valley were hit differently with snow.  I got about 7-8 inches of snow in the yard, while Attitash [...]
