  1. I will be riding an event called 18 hours of Fruita on May 3rd. Teams of 4 individuals alternating laps. Course is flowy, non-technical singletrack, ~ 7 miles and only 400 feet of climbing. I've spent the winter on my trainer in the basement and feel physically really good. The challenge will be mental. The race starts at midnight and wraps up at 6 pm. Teams are trying to complete as many laps as possible. I will be doing a 40 minute lap, then resting for 2 hours, then another 40 minute lap, and so on. I expect to do ~7 laps over the course of 18 hours. I suspect getting back on my bike for laps 5-7 will be daunting.
  2. Tadej has been busy, and impressive, this spring. This acceleration at the end roaring away from Remco, Ben Healy, and Pidcock today was something. Will be excited to see what kind of form Jonas is in by TDF.
  3. His interview after was great. Just complete disbelief he somehow out sprinted Tadej and Remco.
  4. Pretty damn cool story today. Remco Evenepoel is making his season debut at Brabantse Pijl, a flemish race. Remco has been out all 2025 after getting hit by a car door while training, resulting in some pretty bad injuries. Last 5km he finds himself in the lead of the race with fellow Belgian Wout. Some good gamesmanship leading into the finish.

  6. Some great racing in the past week. First American Neilson Powless takes on 3 Visma riders in a sprint, including Wout, and somehow pulls it off on his own. Then we get Tour of Flanders with the lead group having MVP, Wout, and Tadej all together in the final 20km.
  7. Where was this at? I live down in Boulder and know the trail systems in the Lyons, Boulder, Morrison areas pretty well but not familiar with Loveland/FC areas.

    My dog died

    I had to euthanize one of my animals a few years back. I scheduled in home euthanasia, which I can't recommend enough. The vet that provided that service offered me a grief packet. One of the items in that packet was this Rainbow Bridge poem. It's target audience appears to be 10 year old children but it still provided me with some comfort that morning. A bit later that day, I'm in my backyard digging a hole as to bury my pet under their favorite tree. In the process of digging that hole a rainbow appeared in the sky. I'm not a religious man, but that event felt deliberate and was much appreciated during a time of suffering.
  9. Because you never go full blackface
  10. I live in Boulder, CO and cycle frequently. Drop me a note and I’m happy to assist.
  11. There is a Sandusky joke for this 5th set I don't want to make. Looks like Pedo vs. NU and Louisville vs. Pitt. Could be an all PA final.
  12. Going five. 2-2, Creighton wins set four vs. Pedo.
  13. 2nd set different story. 1-1 all 🍿.
  14. Nebraska punches its semi ticket sweeping Wisconsin 3-0. NU was a bad matchup for UW this year, winning all 9 sets in 3 games.

    Getting old sucks

    Worst foot porn ever.
  16. Crazy 3rd set between Louisville and Stanford. Louisville wins 28-26 to take a 2-1 lead.
  17. It’s BS, Raiola has confirmed he will remain at NU next season. Another 6-6 season and he certainly won’t be doing a 3rd year there.
  18. Louisville barely survives in 5th, 22-20
  19. Northern Iowa wins set 3 over #1 Louisville (2-1)
  20. Northern Iowa wins first set against Louisville (1-0).
  21. Sounds like an opportunity for a Surly road trip with a reappearance of the Pedo Bear outfit.
  22. Agreed you will have to go through someone tough. They are 1 seeds for a reason. Just not sure PSU is any easier than NU. Not having to deal with Wisconsin and Franklin as a 2 seed is a win though.
  23. PSU beat NU convincingly on Saturday. They look good.
