I was living in Colorado Springs, CO for a short while and the Sunday group ride was great. I remember one time there was a really strong cross wind and the large group leading the front became three perfectly staggered diagonal echelons chasing each other across the country side. And no one had...

Tell Me About The Group Road Ride(s) In Your Town/City – I’ll Start If it were a game of street ball or pickup basketball, you’d have players double dribbling oblivious to the fact that it is not allowed, with those who know better allowing it because it’s just a recreational ride and “we’re...

This is really long so I thought I should Quote the whole thing. I doubt there is one bit of information there that is new or groundbreaking. I couldn't get through it so I'll never know. I hope there was mention of climbers attacking on a climb. Always good to know....

Recognize her place as an official? An official whose job is to identify infractions and make the call, regardless of degree of severity? That place or the place where they don't actually have a job or duty and let the athletes play through. Why have officials at all then? I believe the...

All he has to do is stay with him on the climbs and beat him in the time trials. Same for the other guy.

There should be long-term penalties/suspensions for that behavior. Professional status should mean more than being paid.

I doubt they'll have much luck in 1010. For one they are going to need a time machine. Two, the roads aren't paved in 1010. Plus, they likely would be killed by the Gauls.

And my vote goes to Tom Danielson.

If two riders are moving across space at the same velocity, the one with the shorter radius in a turn (inside rider) will gain position (move ahead) over the other. Same speed is same speed. If both are moving at the same speed then it is impossible for the outside rider to be moving faster. If...

Tour de France 2005, Stage 21, Corbeil Essonnes-Paris Champs Elysees, Alexandre Vinokourov attacks the time bonus sprint from a long, long way out with three Gerolsteiner riders on his wheel. The Gerolsteiners were supposed to keep Vino from getting time on Leipheimer. The drag race went on...

Right, you don’t need books. Just spend time in races. Learning by making mistakes is a good way to learn but not the quickest. Why spend three or four years learning it the hard way when you can read about it in three or four hours? A $13 book is going to benefit you more than a new gruppo and...
