I just heard the most horrible story, and decide that I had to share it. Approximately 15 years ago, someone my wife once worked with named John was riding his bicycle down Soledad Canyon Road in Santa Clarita. Along the way some human waste drove by him and hit him with a baseball bat while [...]

I was camping this weekend in Joshua Tree, so I was unable to catch the live feed on the web. I was however lucky enough to get some cell reception and receive the good news that Mark Cavendish won the 2009 edition of Milan San Remo. Anyone that has read this blog at one time [...]

Christian Vande Velde gets what has to be one of the bigger wins of his career today at Paris-Nice. Even on my so so Eurosport feed it was clearly a great performance. Now the question is, whether there is relationship between me getting my Slipstream gear yesterday in the mail and Christian’s outstanding performance today. [...]

I received the long awaited Garmin-Slipstream hat last night when I arrived home. I had to post this picture for all of you that were on the edge of your seat, waiting to see what happened. It got here in great shape, with no nasty notes in the box. Furthermore, I have to Bryan at Slipstream Sports [...]

Team Columbia High Road continued its winning ways last Saturday when Thomas Lovkvist won the 3rd Monte Paschi Strade Bianche Toscana. It is only in its third year, but is already a Spring Classic, in Italy no less. This is another one I have to put on my list to see before I make my [...]

You may have recently read about Torelli’s Montefalco road bike in the last issue of ROAD. Well the short story is that it is an all carbon road frame weighing in around 900 grams, depending on size. The review said it is stiff, comfortable, climbs well and descends well. I read this and became interested [...]
Okay, Now I Feel Bad

Yesterday I published a post regarding my yet to be delivered “Trucker Hat” from Garmin-Slipstream. Yes, I was complaining, but it was not meant to be malicious. Nor was it an effort to get any free swag. With that being said (one of my most often used phrases), I received an email from Bryan at [...]
Team Garmin-Slipstream-Where’s My Hat?

I am on the Team Garmin Slipstream email list. And as a member of that exclusive email list, I get emails telling me what is new with the team, and what cool gear is currently available in the team’s store. I received one of these exclusive emails on or around February 5th, and decided to [...]

Another cyclist and I pulled a 2006 Paris-Roubaix today, by crossing over the train tracks, opposite ways, as the gates were coming down. We both kind looked at each other and figured what the heck.
Dude on Placerita Canyon near Masters College riding the PINK (yes I know that pink was the color of the former [...]
