Final Try Ok, I've been trying to make this clear for a long time, maybe I don't write clearly enough: The velodrome was ALREADY PAID FOR, PLANNED, DESIGNED and READY TO BE BUILT in Albuquerque next to the baseball stadium. They did built a BMX track there. It's great, but it isn't a...

________________________________________________________ I honestly can't decipher this creepy gibberish, some kind of jail house anal rape joke? This is really the most homoerotic group I've ever seen, A fifteen word reply that is - from what I can tell - about being raped in a prison...

Very bad question. How many city baseball parks cost ten million dollars, are promoted by Babe Ruth, and then are never built? Particularly one that is promised to be "world class" and generate millions a year in tourism dollars? When a city builds a "world class" venue to generate tourism...

JB did not promote anything, and left no legacy other than a large group of people scratching their heads wondering why they ever thought this was a normal idea. His team -Atana - got over 100k worth of free medical testing form a local hospital that regularly turns away patients who show up...

When I read on Aprils Fool Day that Johan Bruyneel is planning to do "something great" with pro cycling – by breaking away from the UCI – I thought I would share about something “great” Johan did to my own city of Albuquerque New Mexico. It's a long convoluted story - a morality tale even –...

No, it wasn't just the three pro-tour riders, who are used to racing at a much higher speed, particularly uphill (there is no comparison between domestic racing and pro-tour level racing, ask anyone who has tried to make the transition. You need the racing - and other things that go along with...
