Team Astana has been barred from the Tour de France and all other ASO events this year which means that Levi Leipheimer won’t be able to ride which is absurd. Team Astand is basically brand new this year and its members include champions that should be allowed to compete. Join the campaign and push for…

Recreational Cyclists Should Not Ride Like the Pros
Well sort of. The pros have great techniques. They are fun to watch. You want legs like then and their bikes are awesome. You can learn about how to climb hills and how to sprint from the pros. However, you shouldn’t ride like them because you can’t. Any pro team has a hierarchy that most…
Trek Project One Update
I just got a notification about the status of Trek’s Project One. Even if there are a few kinks left to work out and even though the pricing isn’t on the site just yet I am thrilled that Trek decided to let us have a look at what they are planning. Praise to Trek for…
Project One Goes Live With the New Madones
Just in time for riding season Trek has decided to turn on Project One. I am not sure if that means that they are planning on fulfilling those orders before the end of summer or not but it gives me something to drool over. I didn’t see prices, but I am betting that the bike…
Logan Cycling Psychopaths
# I like to ride, but I won’t be joining these guys. I must be getting old since riding in the middle of the night in the cold doesn’t seem especially appealing. I’ll stick to the trainer in front of the computer.
2008 Tour de France – Don’t Watch It
As long as I am ranting about everything under the sun I may as well add the Tour de France to the list. This year they have banned Team Astana from participating. The result of this action is that Alberto Contador and Levi Leipheimer, last years 1st and 3rd place finishers won’t be in the…
2008 Trek Madonne Disappoints Big Time
It is no secret that I have been excited to see the new 2008 Trek Madonne for a while. I have now seen the 5.5 and 5.2 in the local shop. They say they will get a 6.5. I am still hoping that is true. It took a long time for the production bikes to…
Trek Project One Delayed
During the winter I become a little less obsessed with bikes. The fact that the only place I have to ride is in my office on my trainer while it is 19 degrees outside doesn’t help. In spite of the winter cycling duldrums I have been looking forward to January 1 for a long time…
Cycling Pack Mentality
Cycling is an interesting individual sport that requires teams. That seems like a paradox, whenever you are riding you are alone. There is no one to pass the ball to. There are no other rowers. Its just you and the bike and you personally have to make all the decisions. It is like a chess…
Olympic Cycling Considering Move to Ogden
There is an article on KSL indicating that USA Olympic cycling might move to Ogden (Utah). Again on Velo news. Given the strong community of cyclists in Utah and the fact that I love cycling this would be awesome. I know what I will be praying for for the next month.
