    Doping in XC skiing

    Re: Re: Thanks for the new link. That page has a comment section! The authors got trolled by at least one person, and another one as well, in my opinion. I thought the authors handled it quite well. The two trolling them are smart, one of them is a doctor (or claiming to be). It appears...

    Doping in XC skiing

    Re: I read it that way. Or rather, as a "hook", so the author gets the reader to continue. The meat of the article is so well presented that it could likely force more eyes "open". I thought using the example of what a scientist does to try and prove (or disprove) a hypothesis was a very...

    Snow day!!!

    Very cool pic (reminds of here :)) Have you considered just converting your triple to a single? Very easy and cheap (especially as you do all your own maintenance). A good way to test it out to see if you would really want to go that route... Wiggle even has a guide...not that you'd...

    What bike/bikes are you riding?

    +1000 You have to keep the Lynskey. You just have to! :D I do like the idea of tourer/commuter to compliment the stable, though I'm sad for you that Colnago has to go...

    Arctic Race of Norway 8th-11th of August

    LOL :D Just relaying what was written in the article. Granted, it could have just been an extremely pleased race director throwing out crazy ideas...but, considering some of the stuff we've seen to-date from other RDs I guess anything is possible... As to the post from LS, he could have...

    Arctic Race of Norway 8th-11th of August

    The race director was in the paper on saturday saying that his goal is to have a start on Svalbard and a stage in Tromsø. So it would seem he is in agreement with you :D He was overwhelmed with the support and turn-out and is promising a parcours to match the amazing scenery. FWIW they had...

    A song of ice and fire

    Fear not Mr. Shaw. Martin lists Rober Frost's poem as a possible influence for the overall title. So you were correct in a way :D

    What beer ya drinkin'?

    Just back from trip to Brussels/Bastogne/Luxembourg. Needless to say, the list is too long to post (or I'm just lazy). But oh, how I do enjoy the Belgian browns and triples :) skål!

    UCI messing with grassroots MTB racing now?

    All true, I suppose. I have no issues with races being sanctioned and under the oversight of that country's governing body. Everthing here, all the way down to the local stuff I race, is sanctioned and run under NCF (Norwegian equivelant of USAC). I just wonder about the fact that for so...

    UCI messing with grassroots MTB racing now?

    Enforcement of UCI rules limits racing for top mountain bikers in USA This actually upset me enough to start a thread. One of the coolest things about alot of these grassroot races is the opportunity to meet and very likely chat with a lot of the top pros in MTB racing. Seems like the...

    Big Thanks to Race Radio

    Yes a big thanks to RR, who I'm not sure I ever actually thanked in the past, but has been a huge source of information...and education (for some of us). Quotin' PS here cuz I'd like to add my thanks to those he listed as well. PLUS a thanks to PS for having some of the best sarcastical...

    I supported Lance Armstrong until...

    2009 was the turning point for me....on this very forum...in this very clinic. Not a full-on blinders believer before that, but more of a "everyone's doing it...he's doing it best" kind of guy. The funny thing is I now wonder if he hadn't made his comeback, and this place hadn't "gone to...
