This Lance thing is Screwy 02-08-2012

The Department of Justice dropping the “Lance Investigation” out of the blue seems kind of screwy. So screwy that the Wall Street Journal and NPR did stories on the subject. The subject of these stories was how surprised that the FBI, the FDA and the Postal Service […]

Back to Boulevard Road Race 02-07-2012

Okay, early season is always hard. I’m not sure what time that is for me anymore since cross season just finished and road season seems to be upon us in a lot of places. It doesn’t feel like early season, but my mind still thinks it is. The first race of the […]

Contador Ruling – Justice? 02-06-2012

Okay, it’s a little hard to write about a puny little road race in the mountains outside San Diego when the Contador ruling comes out. So, here’s a little of my thoughts on Contador and I’ll post the Boulevard road race later. Contador’s 2 year ban […]

Boulevard Road Race – Campo California 02-05-2012

The Boulevard Road Race was yesterday, but I didn’t get back until late and then there was the KU game on after, so I’m just going to have to update this a little later after I get some more sleep. Okay, now I have more sleep, but it is a perfect day in San Diego […]

I don’t understand the Law 02-04-2012

I really don’t understand the law. The Department of Justice finished the Lance Armstrong investigation and closed it without filing any charges. I have no idea whether this was the right decision or not. I guess I need to say I hope so. I obviously have no access […]

Packing to Race 02-03-2012

I flew to San Diego yesterday. I was sort of behind schedule all this week from roofing, riding most of the daylight hours and a sundry of other things. I wasn’t flying until after 6 so I had all day to pack and get ready. I went to the bank and deposited a check and […]

Clothing Rules?? 02-02-2012

I’m flying to California tomorrow. There is a road race on Saturday, the kick off to the Southern California road season. I was looking at the event flyer and was a little worried about it being a little too hot for me. Sometimes inland in Southern California can be […]

100 miles – 103K Views 02-01-2012

Yesterday was the 3rd day in a row with the temperatures near record highs here in Kansas. It is such a treat not wearing anything over my knees at the end of January. Yesterday and the day before, the high was nearly 70. Needless to say, I got a fair number of hours in […]

Albert’s Manager is an Idiot 01-31-2012

I’m not sure why people of authority seem to always want to air their views publicly. A manager is supposed to be media savvy. Niels Albert’s manager isn’t, not even close. And his statement makes his client look like a unappreciative cheapskate. His statement […]

Racing Hurt 01-31-2012

I’ve been hurt a bunch racing bikes. Bicycling Magazine did an article on me a few years back with a semi-nude shot and pointing some of the injures I’ve incurred throughout my lifetime racing bikes, along with the attributes of being an athlete. It is kind of […]
