    State of Doping in US Domestic Racing

    It's high and that goes beyond cycling. Any amateur competition you're going to run into a lot of people trying to get that extra edge. Picture a city with 30 or so above average cyclists, they train as much as they can, devote a lot of time to a sport where they receive no paycheck and no...

    Giro d'Italia Stage 15: Conegliano - Gardeccia-Val di Fassa 229km

    Thank you! I'll try to stay up long enough to watch a bit of it. Since I'm here I'll say that I've got my fingers crossed that Nibali can make something of these last stages. Not that I don't like the other contenders but you've gotta cheer for someone.

    I've got a Eurosport stream going with the French open. Should I just leave it open and hope for the best? I got the link from Steephill.tv

    Horrific Atack By Car Driver On Critical Mass Demonstaters.

    is critical mass really worth it? the ones here will never bring real change. a lot of people i've talked to go just for the choas of it. why not have city council meetings or elect those in your area who stand up for alternate transportation? seems really silly to die or be injured while...

    What makes a great GC rider?

    Was this directed at me? I was just using AS as an example. I don't really like him, I'm an AC guy but I didn't want to say him regarding the latest news.

    So when did Lance start doping?

    Yes probably, According to him he was making a decent amount of money. Even buying a sports car during High School. Coming from a single parent home, being a kid with a little bit of talent I could see a guy like Lance taking a couple short cuts to survive.
