Sooner rather than later
Long time no type my fellow pedalcyclers. After taking a little break from competitive cycling I am still doing some training, but turning my attention more towards the collegiate side of life. Mountain bike races, teaching classes, giving mid-terms, grading papers, yadda yadda.....then lo and behold it's been a month without blogging. Felt great! Ha, but now I'm back to antagonize.
Right now I am at the Olympic Training Center (OTC) in Colorado Springs, CO for a coaches summit. What an amazing place! Not only are we sitting through some great presentations on altitude training, tapering, USADA and doping, cycling science, track cycling, etc., but there's also athletes from boxing and gymnastics here working out. Tomorrow I'm going to watch our Junior National Boxing Team do some sparring before their international competition next week in Guadalajara, Mexico. Oh, and don't even get me going about their cafeteria facility. Our Olympic athletes eat like kings, rightfully so though.
Enough about that already. Let's talk a little cycling. This shouldn't be too difficult considering my IE favorites has three times the saved links as normal.
Bicyclists push for specialty tags
Looks like the drive to get a Tennessee "Share the Road" specialty license plate is back on the stove. The deadline to get 1000 pre-commitments is June 30, 2009. To find out more about signing up please visit http://www.jeffrothcyclingfoundation.org.
Floyd Landis & the red-neck race
Pretty soon I suppose we'll see Floyd lining up for real, but this picture really is worth a thousand words.
Pedal-Powered Delivery Methods Save Big Bucks
Are you an out of work cyclist looking to earn some money while also knocking out your training? Hey, it's an idea.
Nude bicyclist drawing stares
She's trying to draw attention to peace. I mean, what's wrong with that right?
Paralympic Athletes Add Equality to Their Goals
This is fitting considering that I am at the OTC right now, but the USOC should step up and make the equitable investment to support our Paralympians. You would think by walking around the OTC they do get equal financial respect based upon how this facility recognizes Paralympians.
Pedal Classifieds - see for yourself.
Ike-battered Texans find comfort, help over coffee
Cause you know it would be the first thing on my mind during or after a hurricane.
Nashville Ultra
You up for a little running race? Ok, good, cause your options are 50k, 60k, 70k or 80k. People think cyclists are crazy?
Biking lanes used as parking lanes is Messed Up!
No kidding, so pay attention. Some day in our lifetime cyclists will gain the respect they are due. Granted we may be out of petroleum at that time, but at least cyclists have the potential to be the superior transportationists
Jennifer Lopez Finishes Triathlon
It's cool she tackled this challenge, but she lost some cool points (and time!) on the clothing and toe clips.

How complicated would it be to organize interested cyclists into a bicycle delivery co-op. Individuals could make their own schedule (list their availablity) and businesses could contact individuals for deliveries based on need and availability. It seems like it could be done on some type of listserve. Based on cyclists location and order of availability, work would be divided out... Hmmm... I'm getting a lot of ideas.
