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.

More Passport Revelations Coming Tomorrow? by frank / Jul 1 2009 / 2 posts Dutch news outlets are reporting that Erik Breukink has been informed of additional positive cases and is going to be coming “clean” tomorrow. There is much speculation that it could involve Denny Menchov. Never been a big fan of his but his Giro was very impressive.… Continue reading
by Marko / Apr 6 2010 / 23 posts If you’ve been paying close attention to my posts on other Keeper articles lately perhaps you’ve noticed my stable has been in a state of flux. It all started when Frank texted me a pic of a pair of used demo 404′s at his LBS for sale. Well no, that’s not true. It… Continue reading
Tales of a Cyclotourist, Part III: 2006 Pla-de-Beret by frank / Jan 28 2010 / 6 posts This is the tale of the day I caused Paolo Savoldelli to crash out of the Tour de France. It happened in a flash, and the details are fading into the cobwebs of my horrible memory; if you’re interested, you can read a more detailed account in my original post on the subject.… Continue reading
