    Sebaceous Cyst Removal and Recovery

    Hi all, here's a "juicy" one. (Sorry, couldn't help myself). I had a sebaceous cyst removed from my undercarriage 10 days ago. The surgeon saw the wound yesterday and is pleased with the way it's healing. She plans to remove the sutures in three or four days. She has also advised me that it...

    Thumb Avulsion Fraction

    Hi All, I suffered a skier's thumb injury last Saturday preriding a CX course. The fracture was an avlusion fracture of the ulnar collateral ligament that's been treated non-operatively with a hard cast. Two questions: 1) Is it ok to ride the trainer? I feel no pain on occasional...

    What a glorious day; Lance Armstrong stripped of titles

    Reading now that Livestrong donations are up. Do you guys think this could be some kind of behind the scenes attempt to make the reaction seem more positive than it is? Kind of like the bots and fake bloggers?

    What a glorious day; Lance Armstrong stripped of titles

    No offense, but you didn't really answer my question. Is there a rule or other legal mechanism that allows USADA to go farther back than 2004? Again, I'm not trying to **** everybody off. I just want to understand this better.

    What a glorious day; Lance Armstrong stripped of titles

    I don't mean for this to be a perjorative question, and maybe somebody's already answered it in the forum, but can someone explain to me how USADA is able to go after all seven Tours when the statute of limitations only goes back eight years?

    It is awesome watching so many heads explode simultaneously.

    US prosecutors drop case against Armstrong/USPS

    I stopped looking at this forum a long time ago but couldn't help myself today. At this point, who cares? I like to ride my bike. That's far more important to me than whether Lance Armstrong took drugs to win Tours. He probably did, but so what? Or did he? I don't know. But my sense...

    Depression and racing

    Cognitive Behavior Therapy Rainbike, I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this difficulty. I work in behavioral health, and have an idea that hasn't been discussed in detail: Give one of the clinically-proven psychotherapies a try. These include cognitive behavioral therapy...

    X-Country Skiing

    Thanks Everybody Thanks for the feedback on my question. I will polish my sticks and wait for the snows! And in the spring I'll use my hulking upper body to power over short climbs and through sprints. Oh, and Marathon Marke, I'm in Madison. I ski at Odana (often with headlamp after work)...

    X-Country Skiing

    To all the experts out there: This might be a silly question that strikes its author as somewhat obsessive, but here goes. Do you think muscle mass gained in the back, chest, and shoulders by cross-country skiing over the winter (I live in Wisconsin) offsets any fitness gain or maintenance...

    Lance Armstrong Wants To Tell Nation Something But (theonion)

    No matter what you think of Armstrong, you have to admit this article is pretty funny. Go Onion! My hometown paper (Madison, WI)!

    Lance amps the big guns

    I am asking questions. My questions have to do whether we actually know anything about the content of the investigation. I don't think we know as much as you think we do. We disagree. Therefore I'm stupid. Thanks. I think I'm going to go for a bike ride now.

    Lance amps the big guns

    I've read you posting now for some time in this thread about how you know exactly what this case is about: fraud. But now you're saying nobody knows what its about. I don't care about Lance Armstrong. If he is guilty of doping, fraud, perjury, whatever, he should face justice. Whether he...
