Not sure, but I think it might have been a D36 AMA race. I’m pretty sure I saw it in the back of Cycle News where we usually found races back then. I remember walking the track in morning and seeing that drop off into the creek and thinking, oh fuck!

I do geek out on this stuff a little. I don’t ride anymore, but I do compete in ultra marathons in the mountains. I’ve been working with a coach that really geeks out on this stuff and prescribes workouts based on the data and other variables like periodization and specificity of terrain and distance of upcoming events. When I first...

I was there when Steve went down that day. I had met him and Swap earlier that day when they parked next to me at Lake Elsinore. As I was coming up behind him in a rhythm section, I watched him go down pretty hard. I stopped to check on him and it didn’t look good, so I hauled ass...

I once launched 120 feet over an 80 foot table top while making the pass into first place. Woke up about 40 feet too far in last place surrounded by paramedics.

Yes, Lance is an attention whore. He's bringing attention to the Livestrong Foundation and the fight against cancer. He even signed with Team Astana for free. And if your in a race, you might as well try to win or at least help a team mate win. It all sounds good to me.

Arizona Cycle Park is the best track in the area. Speedworld is OK too. I've heard that Grindstone is good and Vet friendly.

I finally got in for the 1st time since they started the online registration. +40 Int, #811. I first raced there in 1981 and then again in 2004 & 2005. This weekend is going to be awesome. I probably won't be very competitive since I'm hurt right now, but it's Mammoth and it is going to great no matter what...
