I just noticed that our list (garandon) has had a spam filter turned on. When I looked in the spam folder there were 12 or more legitimate messages. I thought...

Roman - foot surgey - sliver of glass - not sure if they got it. Am in a bit of pain, quite a chunk of foot missing, won't be riding for a bit. Have fun in...
I don't know about you, but I'm getting fed up with professional cycling. Maybe the UCI should take the same tactic politicians have done for ethics - if you ...

That opinion is shared by many however I'm afraid the competitions would come down to who's taking the best drugs. Whereas this most current episode has taken...

It might help if those of us "in the know" stop refering to them as "old, heavy steel bikes" and refer to the contemporary ones more correctly as Davy has;...

... Pete, What kind of pace do you plan on keeping and how long do you think the 4-5 hr option will be. I'm fairly new to the gaps. I hope I can keep up. ...
Jim, We'll warm up on Neels below 80% Max HR. 10-12 mph. We'll stop at the sunrise store and pick up some blueberry pies for later. We'll ride Jacks,...
