I read the article with great interest. You see, in mid-April of this year my dad passed away after a long fight with cancer. In this last few months as his...

With recent accusations about Lance Armstrong's doping, I have had enough of the French and their attitude toward Americans. I cannot believe they continue to...
Yea - Lance has the best masking agents around! And he does Pharmacy commercials - any connection? Look at American Baseball and you get the idea of what ALL...
I am so sick of unwarranted accusations, prove it or shut the hell up about it. He won their faggy bike race 7 years in a row and was never seriously...
Dave, He was tested in ONE RACE PER YEAR! ALL of the other "Trade Team" riders do more than the hand full of events that Lance is able to do. Since you seem to...
I am not a professional I am a very novice rider, hats off to you for being one. First, I never said anything about Lance being the greatest rider of all time....
NHJim, You are wrong about being tested one race per year. He is randomly tested through out the whole year. You would think you would know that! You seem more...

Bryan, I know training can be a load of crap but it ti worth it come may. I was 15 when I rode my first TOSRV in 05. I trained outside all summer riding 30 to...
Check out www.icebike.com for some great info on riding in the cold. I read the site extensively when I first got into winter riding and it helped tremendously...
I recommend studded tires - Nokian makes good 700C and 26" tires that will really make a difference on the ice. They are not cheap -- about $60 each. I'm sure...
Hi all, After I posted my first message I found Icebike.com and will be checking that out a little more. Thanks for all the advise. Unfortunately, it won't be...
