    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Like I also wished that Vos and AVV would test positive, just so real change can occur... but it never happened (because it can't be allowed to happen). Now Demi and Lotte have taken over and it's more of the same. The all conquering Dutch women cannot be allowed to torpedo women's cycling...

    Defying the Dirty Dozen: Cyclists take on steepest of steep hills

    Someday when I'm back home I'd like to try the "Dirty Dozen" hill climb race in Pittsburgh (I'm from north of the city) that's refrenced in the first post. Pittsburgh's Canton Ave. is shorter (but a decent amount) but it's steeper than the hill in New Zealand, and it's cobblestone too! :D
