Velominati Super Prestige: Clasica San Sebastian

by frank / Jul 29 2010 / 15 posts

The inaugural Velominati Super Prestige continues with its the first Summer Classic, Clasica Ciclista San Sebastian, on Saturday, July 31. This will be the first post-Tour event in the series and with the unpredictability of how riders are recovering, it makes this race a tough one to predic… Continue reading

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

Velominati Super Prestige: Tour de France Stage 19

by frank / Jul 23 2010 / 31 posts

Looking back on this year’s Tour, it occurs to me it’s been one of the best Tours I’ve seen. The 2003 Tour will forever go down as my favorite, but mostly because we were there that year, my boy Jan Ullrich nearly won, and I got to sit on Ullrich’s TT bike right before… Continue reading

Gravel

by Marko / Jul 22 2010 / 8 posts

Last fall, a wrench at the small LBS in town alerted me to a new race that was being put on for the first time just south of where I live. The Heck of the North is organized by a former Ely local named Jeremy who was inspired by a couple other gravel road races in the region. When Dean told m… Continue reading

Johnny T and The Lung

by Brett / Aug 22 2009 / 6 posts

Things were always better in “the good old days”. That’s what my mate Johnny Klink always says, especially when we’re talking about mountain biking (which is 99% of our conversations).… Continue reading

Prophesying Awesomeness

by frank / Aug 13 2009 / 4 posts

Phase I of Operation Get Back Into Mountain Biking is complete. This week, we bought Michelle a used Cannondale Prophet. Comparing this thing to my Zip is a study in how dramatically times have changed. Looking at the bikes side-by-side, it seems the only similarity is the fact that they… Continue reading

Monsieur Mont Ventoux

by john / Jul 23 2009 / 1 post

For those cyclists who might shop at the Big and Tall shop, we are a minority, we stand out in a pace line, we don’t go up steep hills well but we all should worship at the altar of Eros Poli.… Continue reading

The Hour Record 2010

by john / Mar 31 2010 / 17 posts

The hour record is the most distinguished, and most difficult record in bicycling. It is different from all other records in that it is measured in meters, and not in minutes and seconds. How long a distance can you ride in exactly an hour? That is a question many famous riders, over the years,… Continue reading

Lost Art: Mashing a Giant Gear

by frank / Jul 15 2009 / 1 post

Cycling enthusiasts used to mash a giant gear for one, simple reason: it looked super cool. Do you want to ride like Lucho Herrera who is always falling off his bike or Eddy Merckx who is always winning races?… Continue reading
