In Basso We Trust

( Cycling )

Man, it’s been a big week in doping. Or not doping.
BAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Yeah bitches, Basso is back, cleared by Italian officials of doping allegations. I still have the $20 that I won in my bet with Sonny for this year’s Giro, and never got to turn around and bet with the same bill on Basso for […]

Life in General

( NOLA and Drunkery and Cycling )

Things are not too shabby right now, and I’ll give you a quick summary in an enormous run-on sentence just because I can and because I’m stupid and so are you: I randomly met the marvelous Asian Provocateur last night and introduced her to the wonderful concotion known as the Fauxrona™ as well as send […]

I’m sorry, I don’t believe we’ve met…

Intertron, meet Molly. Molly, this is my old freind, the Intertron:

She’s a Spicer steel track frame and fork, Mavic Ellipse wheelset, Vredestein Fortezza tires, Shimano 105 front brake, On One 49tooth crankset, Chris King 1″ Threadless headset, Easton EA50 stem, Sun Ringle Zuzu pedals, Thompson Elite seatpost, Serfas Aria saddle, and “NOLA bars” I cut […]

Landismas

There is a new Holiday: Landismas!
Go out and Celebrate!

Religious Experience

( Cycling )

I feel like Paul on the road to Damascus.
Yesterday, My Boy Floyd™ went from leading the tour to dropping to 11th place at over 8 minutes back. It was truly heartbreaking. It looked to be over for my favorite Mennonite.
Now? Floyd summoned his inner Lancaster Power and is back at third place, 12 seconds behind […]

damn damn damn

( Grrr... and Cycling )

So, it would appear that this year’s two most likely men to win the Tour de France have been pulled by their teams for doping allegations.
So, Jan Ullrich got pulled from T-Mobile first, leaving my boy Ivan Basso. Without the threat of Jan, Basso would be all-but-guaranteed a victory.
Well, CSC pulled Basso. There must be […]

Quick things

( NOLA and Work and Cycling )

It’s been four months now, but I finally have internet access at home again! Woo!
I tied a bowtie tonight!
Tomorrow, in Harahan, my friends Tanya and Andrew are getting married.
I got a bonus today (would prefer a raise, but I’ll take it).
The three week ride known as the Tour de France begins on Saturday at 7:30am […]

Sunday, Bloody something or other

( Photos and Gen Zod and Cycling )

Despite a slightly cranky head, I managed to make it out to the Bonnet Carré Spillway Trail to do some like off-road riding. The weather was a bit warm, but I was hoping it would be so that I might accelerate some sweating and therefore speedup the rate I would sweat toxins out. Unfortunately, I […]

Always a Bridesmaid …

( Cycling )

Well, I’m off in an hour or two to Florida this weekend for my cousin’s wedding.
Hopefully I’ll be back in time on Sunday to catch the end of an amazing Giro, and to collect my $20 from Sonny that Basso will have won me.
And with that $20, I’m going to turn right back around and […]

il portello è fatto di minestra.

It’s Giro d’Italia time. Time to listen/watch the race in the morning via web stream while listening to what I imagine to be small, funny-looking european men shout at me in Italian.
This year is going to be a crazy race. Im not going to go into any predictions or analysis of the race. I’ll leave […]
