Study of a Toolbag: The Assos Guy by frank / Sep 4 2010 / 25 posts Until I started wearing the sacred threads of the V-Kit, I believed firmly that Assos produced the finest clothes in cycling. Their winter clothes are toasty-warm and lack the bulk of most winter garb, while no epidermal cell has ever been lost to chaffing while wearing a pair of FI.13 bibs.… Continue reading
The Meaning of the Word Respect: The Beartooth Challenge by Joshua / Sep 3 2010 / 12 posts This past weekend I learned a number of lessons here in my new home state of Montana. Or perhaps relearned these lessons—lessons of my own mortality; of my fragility; of my limitations. Full of hubris and vigor I entered the 2010 Beartooth Challenge, an 8.2 mile uphill run over 2,500 vertic… Continue reading
Velominati Interview: Garmin’s Kris ‘Grom’ Withington by Brett / Sep 2 2010 / 11 posts With La Vuelta in full swing and the Worlds only weeks away, there are more than a few riders who will be feeling the effects of a long, hard season.

At $15 a pop, it’s not particularly cheap, but the addition of moisturizer… Continue reading
Second Place: The Agony of Winning at Losing by frank / Oct 2 2009 / 3 posts After narrowly losing Milan San-Remo to Mark “The Manx Mounth” Cavendish, Heinrich Haussler was in agony. Many people might have been delighted with his accomplishment; he darted off the front of a highly controlled bunch and made an unexpected result which would make his one of th… Continue reading
Anatomy of a Photo: 1995 World Championship road race by Brett / Aug 19 2010 / 23 posts When I first feasted my eyes on this photo over at lagazzettadellabici.com, it was the steely stare of Il Pirata that commanded my attention. That look says it all; ”I’m suffering like a dog, the altitude is fucking with my mind, my lungs and my vision, but there’s rocket… Continue reading
