This interview is amazing…one of the first interviews in the modern sanitized world of cycling that contains honesty and character.

Will Gadd does Crossfit

Will Gadd does Crossfit:

This is full of some real gems…while he is specifically talking about training for ice climbing he makes some very valid points about the movements in Crossfit that I think are universal. I haven’t said it here, but since starting crossfit I am leaner, stronger, and more comfortable in life, climbing, and on the bike then I have been in years. We’ll see what happens when race season comes around…but to some extent I don’t care. I almost feel as if I have been living in the past for the last few years riding my bike all the time and searching for some magic bullet that would make me faster and more comfortable.

weight gain

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 22:34:14 -0500

in the last 4 months i seem to have gained 9 pounds. yet i am clearly leaner then when i started. so that would be 9 pounds of muscle, i wonder if this is a good thing? when i started working out again i was hoping to lose 15 pounds.

my buddy alex and i grabbed the second ascent on a sick route in pa. mostly WI 4/5 with a sweet mixed section. why do a race bikes again?

my first caption for this was “eat a dick lance, i hope you never touch that trophy again.” but really, is contador any better?

DICKBAG alert! This may be the most overrated rider ever. I am willing to bet that last season will turn out to be the best of his career.

BMC

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:37:42 -0500

I am really excited to see BMC taking it up a notch, and they are quickly becoming my new favorite team. That being said, I’m not sure how THIS could be a good move for Cadel Evans. Unless they hire some serious domestiques, he is going to be on even shakier ground then at Lotto. That being said, Cadel seems pretty weak phsycologically, and maybe all he needs is to know that a team supports him %100, even if they are a weak team.

FUCK YEAH

I hope Dr. Thompson GETS HIS SHIT PUSHED IN, every day of the next five years.

CURATED

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:51:00 -0400

This word has been my least favorite addition to the hipster lexicon. It’s been thrown around in a variety of contexts lately, that simply add value and meaning to tasks that do not deserve it. My favorite weekly cycling blog seems to also have noted this:

“ ”Curated”? Before 2009 was the verb “to curate” ever used out of the context of an art museum? The idea that day-in-day-out existence can be “curated” is a gross overestimation of the value of one’s own experience of the quotidian.”

I call bullshit on curated events, unless the curator has attended a graduate program in curatorial studies, and it’s an art show.

crossfit

i have love in my heart for Dreesens… and am psyched to see him finally promoting his bikes. these are beautiful handmade steel frames from before all the portland bullshit. my dad still rides my old one. serious bikes made for serious racers, know your history! that being said, much like my spectrum, the handling always left me feeling a little nervous. hmmmm.

this is from a funeral and it fucking sucks. it confounds me that basic human rights and laws of society don’t apply to cyclists. if you accidently shoot someone with a gun, you go to jail. maybe someone should accidently shoot the dickbag who ran over this girls parents.
