Nobody Listens Anyway

I have an embarrassing secret. I love cycling (not the embarassing secret unless you count running around in skin tight shorts as embarassing). No, the big secret is that when I am all alone on the bike I can’t help but feel the desire to chase down every other cyclist on the road. [...]

With all the moving around and general craziness at work I haven’t been able to ride to work as much. I finally managed to ride in again. Regardless of whatever else happens today is a good day.

One of my favorite rides is Blacksmith Fork Canyon. If I leave from my house the loop is a little bit more than 40 miles most of which is in the canyon. During the summer it is a little bit cooler than the rest of the valley and the scenery is always beautiful. [...]

In the mean time I have been satiating my bike lust with [...]

UPDATE: First ride on the new Trek Madone 6.9 with pictures
After a year of waiting. After months of deliberating size, components and Project One or stock I walked into the shop this morning and put my money down on a Madone 6.9. Yesterday by total chance I was in Ogden and so was [...]

I can’t ever seem to remember Brent Carpenter’s name which is probably rude, but I have heard people here in Logan refer to him as happy, smiley guy. Almost any day of the week he can be seen riding his bike around town. He has a horn on it that he honks and [...]

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.
