lemond speaks

i finally got around to reading the january issue of procycling. it's a special all lemond issue. in it he lays it all out... his views on the sport, his career, training, doping, personal costs, everything. it's a good read. i'd highly recommend it to anyone who thinks americans winning in europe started only with lancey boy. lemond was my idol back in the mid 80's when i started racing as a teenager. the stories of how he won (and almost lost) the '89 tour says a lot about how the sport has changed since then.

dusk downtown

spring is not too far off now.

lady riders

the woman above had a black leather vest on with a harley logo and 'Lady Rider' on the lower back. she also had a tambourine and was shaking it as she walked.

i ran into lindsey at oso, and instead of a black leather vest she was wearing a blue hoody.

freeeekin cold

-23... atleast i had a tailwind on the way home.

thadious

i stopped by the shop and let thadious take the rita for spin.

priceless

a brand new hummer... stalled out or out of gas on 27th and capital parkway.

verde, blanco y rojo

i went with the green king headset to complete the 'bandera mexicana' color scheme.

fresh powder

i'll take snow over cold wind anyday. 14 degrees wasn't so bad this morning.

mmmmm moroccan tomato

savoring a bowl of moroccan tomato inside grateful bread. it gets steamy inside from all the good stuff they cook up in this place. i noticed a number of other peeps on bikes stopping by for a to-go cup.
