2 Down, 14 Weeks To Go ’til 1st Ultra-Marathon

When Cliff first asked me if I wanted to do an ultra-marathon in December, I didn’t think twice (ok, well maybe not quite). That’s typically the way I am when an exciting challenge is put forth in front of me: agree first… then think about it later.

This was 6 months [...]

This Hits a Little Too Close to Home

This scared me when I first read this title, because I immediately thought of Cliff and Amanda, who live in Ottawa. Luckily (for us and them) they would have still been in NB at that time, and Cliff and I were actually out for a ride of our own in Fredericton. This is an awful [...]

Watch the Giro d’Italia Online for Free

My new favorite website (beside LMS and CWR of course) is UniversalSports.com. I’d never heard of it until I tried to find some live video streaming of the Giro d’Italia, usually on Cycling.tv (for a $$). But, on there it was stated that they had lost the rights to broadcast the race. It seems [...]

Does This Deserve a Life-Time Ban?

Check out this video of the final sprint from Stage 8 of the “Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey“! Specifically, look at the yellow jersey (Daryl Impey from South Africa) at 3:45 into the video (the bottom, left of the screen).  This is either the worst display of sportsmanship you’ve ever seen or a very unfortunate [...]

A Very Extreme Way to Improve Your TT Position!…. APRIL FOOLS!!!!

2nd Annual LMS “March Madness” Bracket Challenge – FINAL UPDATE March 30th

Final scores: Cliff 690, Chris: 720!
It’s that time of year again! Sure, it’s the start of the “Spring Classics” in Europe, the stretch run in the NHL and NBA, spring training in baseball, but one thing means it’s really the start of spring… Of course, I mean “March Madness” in the NCAA! Last year, Cliff [...]
