Here we go again. But this time it's serious?

We've been through this many times before and it ends up the same. Not so this time.

So the can't help but tick us off again. Leblanc is a moron. If they actually have verifiable results, why now. Why did they wait until a month after his retirement. Who linked Lance's name to the code on the bottle. Why is it the French WADA who has these findings. These are all good questions. But I have a better one.

Why are the French such spineless jellyfish. Why did we help them out of WWII. Ok, the second one was stupid. But the point should be noted. L'equipe is in the business of selling papers and what sells better then a scandal. So at the end of this they fire the person who is responsible. Wow, that's great. But Lance might be left with fans and non-fans alike wondering if he really achieved any of his accolades legitimately.

If you know me you now I'm a huge Lance fan. Am I glad his reign over the pro peleton is over? Yes. There are so many good riders out there right now that should have a piece of the lime light. All this crap with the French brings me full circle though. I'm back on the Lance band wagon and I'll back him all the way. If he is found to have tested positive, I'll be eating some words. Oh well. I won't be the only one.

The circus is just getting started folks so stay tuned there is so much more to come. And if you think only Lance will turn up in this thing your dead right. Well, at least until it might help the French WADA to look legitimate.

Do you know this trail?

Here's a hint. You can't ride it, and I no longer live by it.


I'll never tell

Back from Portland

Missed Welch again. Had to go to Portland to be in a buddies wedding. Great weddng but wished I'd been back on Sunday to race. Made the best of it though. Went to Mt. Hood and the coast. Did some hiking no biking.

so now it's all about the Powder Monkey and Laddies Loppett. Maybe we'll see Andy at a MTB race before the end of the season. Unfortunately I won't be racing Exptert at Maplelag since I need as many points as I can get for comp. Would have been a great race. Makin' Sick Boy look stupid and all. Oh well.
