Say it ain't so Floyd!

Floyd might just be a fake!

Check out www.velonews.com and www.eurosport.com.

Looks like Floyd was named as the rider in question for the positive "A" sample.I'd really like to think that this is all a misunderstanding, but we know how these things turn out. So I gotta ask, WHY THE TEMPTATION seriously!

By now they should know that they're going to get caught. I'm not so sure that our sport should get a rep for being the dirtiest sport, it should get a rep for the stupidest.

I'm glad I'm an ameteur racer.

I think Miami Vice II will have Tubbs and Crocket rollin' on 700's. They could get more collars chasing the peleton than busting down crack houses.

Don't Hassel the Hoff!

I know I shouldn't kick a man when he's down but look at the similarities here. In this picture of Jan enjoying un bier, you got to admit, he looks like David Hasselhoff.

Don't believe me. Check out the Hoff's latest video:

Slap me six ways 'til Sunday! I can't believe how our boy Floyd straight-up destroyed an 11 man break to win stage 17 and pull within 30 sec.'s of Pereiro!

Do not miss the TT on Saturday.

Muddy River

Well... Tough day in the saddle for this guy. From the gun I was in 5th position and feeling relatively good. Just into the 3rd of 4 laps I hit a little jump and caught what would be too much air. For the record I wasn't trying for mad air. Experience has taught me a XC race is not the place. Anyway, I get a some, and while airborne I get off line heading straight for a 12 inch diameter tree. I had just enough time, once I hit the ground, to realize there was nothing I could do. We're talking fractions of a nano second. So I nail the tree with my thigh, arm, shoulder, and I think my head, hearing all kinds of things snapping and metal klinking. Is that a word? The funny thing was I didn't even hit the ground. The damn thing stopped me dead in my tracks. I probably went from say 14-16 miles per hour to zero in the fore mentioned nano second. Of course my chain popped off but when I tried to flick it back on my arm wouldn't respond. I thought for a second that I broke my collar bone. After a couple more seconds I was able to get it moving and flick the chain on. Boy was it slow going after that. Wasn't sure if I was going to finish but I knew from my "Spring Cup" experience that you have to give yourself a chance to ride back into the race. And I did just that. I lost quite a few positions and some great momentum, but was able to pull off 11th overall and 6th in age. I rode a little when I get home to loosen up my thigh and it felt pretty good. I'm happy that I have a month now to recuperate.

Next up Welch...

Bluff Riders Charge

Mankato was sweet today. Felt really good. Got 6th overall and 4th in age. Just missed the podium. >:( Oh well. Muddy river is coming up quick, hope I can keep the form.
