A while back, I was holding down the bar with everybody’s favorite Gnome and he was telling me about all the riding he has been getting to do lately. I was a little more than jealous. Although I’m having my fair share of fun, my tires have not been hitting the dirt very much lately. In the [...]

I’m pretty sure at this point I can safely name Todd Wells as a “friend of drunkcyclist” after my time as volunteer-luggage-handler-to-the-stars at Redland’s a few years back. God damn Millionaire that he is. (Pic from Facebook, no idea how to credit it properly.) For all you cat’s claiming Leadville is easy, take a [...]

Promoter Ken, a funky good looking leadvillian with a propensity to wield shotguns, has always spoken of the need for you – the individual – to rise above your own expectations. “You can do more than you think you can” is how it goes. He says it year after year in the pre race meeting. [...]

All I’ve got so far is a text message regarding Snake’s finishing place. 21 in my age group 30-39. Then 28th I think overall. And this photo.

(That should read “Es is S.I.S.”) SiS 2010. Schlaflos im Sattel 2010 (Sleepless in the Saddle) It was planned as a two-man, nine-hour race. It ended up being less, and yet so much more. I was invited to take the place of the second man on a two-man team. Cleveland (wunnspeed) was looking for someone and I mentioned that [...]

My summer of having no responsibilities, except of riding bikes and enjoying the days and nights is slowly coming to and end.  Monday morning brings a harsh slap of reality to my face as I begin this new endeavor of life known as graduate school.  With that I bring you the conclusion of my summer [...]

I entered a trance like mind-space induced by speed Rejoicing I went up residential 23rd and ripped down 24th Eating green lights, speeding for ten streets The sun came out, and, feeling like a teenager I went up the hill and did it again. A state of joy can persist tossing away worry and want doing what one’s heart desires The mundane moments can [...]

While Snake gets ready to kill it this weekend, I’ve been pondering some thoughts on women’s racing. Since the shitstorm I created this summer, women’s racing has been something I’ve wanted to post about on DC for a long time. Here it goes. As my first year of road racing comes to an end (can [...]

This on in from our boy Snake via cell phone. Plate 21 this year. Black Jack. It pays 2 to 1. Get some.

A very young Marco Pantani in 1989. He would have been all of 19 years old when this was filmed. All class. He simple blows it to pieces. I love the bikes from that era: steel & sleek. Awesome. And, I should note, Marco had a full head of [...]

Made it out the house for 70 miles yesterday. Started it off with wander over to Mormon Lake via dirt. The day was absolutely superb here in the northland. Green all to hell after that week and a half of rain. Following that, Rubelt made it into town last night. I met up with him and [...]

Give thanks to Jimmy C. for delivering this to us.

Snake snapped a few pics of me while we were out on the Saturday Shoot Out. I guess no one would believe it happened if there wasn’t photographic evidence. I think there is one out there somewhere of me in a parking lot with my beer guy hanging out. Rock it if [...]

Thanks to Ryan for sharing this.

MESA, Ariz. — A 13-year-old Mesa girl was hospital after she was hit Monday morning while riding her bicycle. Mesa police said it happened in the area of Gilbert Road and Southern Avenue. Mesa Fire Department spokesman Forrest Smith said the girl was in a crosswalk when she was hit at a relatively high rate of speed. Witnesses [...]

I awoke this morning to an inbox serving up the latest Epic Rides Newsletter. It’s always a good read on the AZmtb tip, and always at the right time. This round they put out the 2010 Whiskey Off Road Video. have a gander, see what it is; which is a good time in and out [...]

I file this under good shit: “The Single-Speed race saw another crushing performance by Gerry Pflug (Salsa/SPK/Pro Bikes). Although Dejay Birtch (Niner/Ergon/No Tubes) would finish a scant two minutes back. Third place finisher Andrew Genco (Drunkcyclist/32FU) spent much of the day yo-yoing back and forth with some obnoxious guy wielding a video camera (look for [...]

Once again this is not going to be like Dirty Biker’s 24 hour solo MTB race but Judi’s VERY FIRST MTB race. Yes, somehow I got roped into doing the John Bryan 6 hour as a female/female team with a rippin’ fast CX racer chickie, Nancy. I figured it’d be good for CX practice at [...]
