I hit a car…and they drove away

Heat Advisory for Susquehanna River Valley
My morning commute wasn’t too fun. It was already warm at 8:30 this morning and the humidity wasn’t helping at all. During my lunch break I decided to ride back home. It was unbearable! I had all intentions on riding back to work until I stepped out of my air-conditioned house. It felt like I…

Landis Juicing it up?
Man, what a blow to the American cycling community…I’m sure you all know by now that Landis was accused of juicing because he had too much testosterone in his body. Did it ever occur to anyone maybe since the fella is an American he naturally has bigger balls than the French or Italian riders?
This Is Why You Shouldn't Listen To an MP3 Player While Riding Your Bike
A few weeks ago my long time biking buddy Mikey Monte and I were up in Turnbull Canyon in Whittier Ca. The trail has a 2 mile climb and its pretty boring too. Since Mikey and I have ridden this trail before, he decided it would be a good idea to take his MP3 player…
