Floyd Landis’s team Phonak has confirmed suspicions that he tested positive for Testosterone doping the day after Stage 17 into Morzine, where Landis regained 8 minutes in an epic show of guts, strength, and iron will. (Do I sound like a schlocky Olympic commentator yet?)

This upsets me a great deal. I like Landis - his […]

Arrived back from cycling in Provence on the the 4th and spent the majority of yesterday catching up on personal issues.
The cycling trip was fantastic, as usual Erickson Cycle Tours did a wonderful job.
I was posting daily updates with photos, miles, mileage but decided they were too off topic for this venue. At some point […]

In exactly one month I leave for my bi-annual cycling trip to Europe. I’ll be riding through the Southern French Alps with a number of friends from previous trips.
Contrary to media blabbering about how Europe is oh-so-more-plentiful with broadband access, my experience is that outside major cities, ‘Le Internet’ simply doesn’t exist in France. I’ll […]

Doing my early morning web clipping and I encounter… yet another Lance Armstrong sponsorship. This time it’s not big pharma, or Subaru cars, but FlexJets.

Ever since Cycling became “The New Golf” I’ve seen more and more use of cycling stock photography in financial advertisements… but this one takes the cake.
Gratuitous videos of Lance prostating himself […]

Even though I only watched perhaps 2 hours of Olympic coverage in the last two weeks, I did manage to hear about the Bode Miller ‘all talk no walk’ skiing performance. Bode decided to take a shot at Armstrong:
“Right now, if you want to cheat, you can: Barry Bonds and those guys

ESPN has announced their TV coverage plans for the Amgen Tour of California. It looks like they plan to carry 1-hr coverage of the event daily - but at 1AM EST. Also, since it is on ESPN2, the rumors of HD coverage look to be un-true.
I thought Amgen signed on as a sponsor expecting a […]

After participating in this event for the first time last year, I was hooked. Last night, while training at the Cycle Loft we casually reminded each other to sign up this week as the event sold out in two weeks last year. Imagine my surprise when I logged in this morning and found out all […]

The Amgen Tour of California route has finally been announced. I’m planning to catch Stage 5 and possibly Stage 6.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has been trying to bring a professional cycling tour to California for some time, and Amgen stepped up to the plate as a sponsor last year. It’s a one week stage race from SFO […]
