Ultimate Indulgence: The Simplicity of Pain by frank / Jul 27 2010 / 31 posts It’s a good question, this: who in their right mind would willfully hurt themselves doing something they “enjoy”? I’m guessing psychologists have a word for this type of behavior, and I’m not afraid to assume it’s not a flattering one. Indeed, we are all of… Continue reading
The Big Engine that Just Might by frank / Jul 26 2010 / 15 posts I think the last time I cheered for the guy who won the Tour de France must have been Greg LeMond in 1990. Although he would later become one of my favorite riders ever, I didn’t cheer for Jan Ullrich in 1997 because wasn’t cool enough yet. I didn’t cheer for another eternal… Continue reading

by frank / Mar 24 2010 / 11 posts I was searching the internet this morning for photos of Gianni Bugno (because he’s Awesome, and sometimes I just need more pictures of Awesome). It was during that effort that I came across this magnificent shot of an unknown hardman rolling across the muddy gravel summit of what I̵… Continue reading
by The Keepers / Jun 27 2010 / 38 posts It never fails; the forecast five days out looks good and as the date gets closer the forecast gets less good looking. But since it didn’t actually say “near freezing cold continuous rain” we were not to be dissuaded. We wouldn’t have been anyway but might have brought more clot… Continue reading
Andorra 2009: Frank’s Carbon Ball by frank / Jul 9 2009 / 4 posts Well, here we are, on the eve of the first mountain stage. Tomorrow’s stage 7 will climb to Arcalis where we will begin to have a much clearer picture of what the Tour will bring over the next two weeks.… Continue reading
