    The Most Devastating Attack

    Andrei Tschmil going off the front in the 1994 Paris Roubaix and soloing to victory. He kicked the crap out of everyone and even pulled a sweet bunny-hop over a traffic island.

    Naive about cycling

    SoCal Cross Southern California has been seeing big numbers for 'cross races. There are two competing series and now there is talk of an All California Championship race. Year after year it just keeps getting bigger.

    Ever ridden with a Pro?

    I saw Freddie Rodriguez on a ride once years ago. Attempted to ride with Tinker Juarez up a hill. That lasted about 4 seconds.

    2nd-itis is tough - Zabel has definitely had a lot of that.
