• Perfect Agony: Rainier Cyclocross Race Report

  The full race report follows, but I wanted to mention that I’ve recently established a relationship with Wend Magazine and they’ll be publishing these reports as a diary series on their blog this year.

• Weekend Handmade Bike Bonanza: Oregon Manifest

  Sometimes Portland is so freaking cool it can’t even stand to be in the same room with itself. I mean, seriously. The whole over-the-top bike-crazy city thing is what it is, but then there’s totally over-the-top, weekend-long, all-out cycling...

• Lance Off Pants Off: The Rumors are True

  Well, Daniel Porter pointed out in the comments of the last post that the rumors are true - Lance is coming back to try for an 8th tour win. Unreal. Check it.

• Lance Shmance: You’re Kidding, Right?

  I am not an Armstrong fan, but Neal Rogers just broke this story and I think it’s noteworthy if not for its relevance to our interest (if we have any!) in the professional cycling world then for its egregious sensationalism. Then again, what’s... Posted Sep 08 2008, 06:48 PM by The Everyday Athlete Filed under: cycling, announcement, pro, rumors

• Happy Birthday to the Shecko

  He cooks, he cleans, he tunes our army of bikes… and that’s just the beginning. The boy that I affectionately refer to as a mule turns 38 today. He’s as Sicilain, as spirited, and as sweet as ever. If there was ever a reason to celebrate... Posted Jul 29 2008, 01:59 PM by The Everyday Athlete Filed under: life, announcement

• Welcome to New Readers from the Oregonian

  It’s 5:10am and in a little over an hour, I’ll leave for a mountain bike ride with a friend who was stupid enough to let me talk him into getting rolling this early on a Sunday.  Right now, however, I’m sitting in bed with a mug...

  What better venue for shameless self-promotion than a blog.

• Important Update for RSS Subscribers

  Oh man! I can’t believe this but I just realized that I failed to create a new RSS feed for my site when I moved it onto my own server back in October.  Dude, I am such a rookie.
