After having a short email discussion with Drew regarding his shifter dilemma it occurred to me that there might be a need for a virtual swap meet here at the Cafe.

This is SoCal Racing?

Sunday was the 8th Annual Boulevard Road Race. This race is held about 60 miles east of San Diego, and is known for rough conditions, but this year was epic.
Check out the article in Velonews, and the accompanying photos. (New Window)
Here are some words to meet the required 75 word minimum. Cold. Snowy. Wet. Gavia. Ok, that last one was a bit of an exaggeration, but that's what it felt like to folks used to San Diego weather.

I don't want to steal Dan's thunder, but his recent fanpost reminded me of my gallery from last years MDC ride.

A friend recently competed in his first Everest Challenge. Let's just say his experience and results were a little different than some others.
Here is his story.
Be warned, this one is long
BREAKING: Landis Appeal Denied; Tour Title Forfeited; 2-yr Suspension!

3-man arbitration panel rules that cyclist used drugs to win 2006 race. Links:
[editor's note, by chris] Apparently the decision centers on the panel's belief in the reliability of the tests, notwithstanding Landis' effort to discredit them (and with no regard to the various sideshows, e.g. LeMond/Gheohegian). The decision was reportedly 2-1. Expect ASO to name Oscar Pereiro the winner of the 2006 Tour de France within hours. And expect the Landis people to appeal within hours as well.
Update [2007-9-20 15:21:3 by chris]: VeloNews checks in, with some initial reactions from Landis & McQuaid. Appeal may be more than he can afford??
Update [2007-9-20 16:13:55 by chris]: Pereiro named the winner.
Update [2007-9-21 0:54:9 by chris]: ESPN's Bonnie Ford offers in-depth analysis of what the verdict means.

I saw a neat chart a few years back that plotted the 2005 TdF climb categories. So I created a similar chart for 2006 and now for 2007. Just some geeky stuff in case you wanted to compare your massive thigh burner climb with some actual TdF climbs

Last weekend Chris, from Podium Cycles, and I crewed for the 24 hours of RAAM.
