Bloggy found himself an hour from the first round of the NCCX in Sandhills so I figured I’d give it go, then meet up with Teenwolf the following day in Raleigh for round 2. I showed up late and had time for a quick warm up lap to scout the course while I wolfed down [...]

Yet More Pictures From Charm City
Posted: 22nd September 2011 by The Ghost of Jerry Reed in Race RelationsTags: Cyclocross
I ate three curried beef chalupas washed down with a 64 ounce Diet Mountain Dew a few minutes before my race to provide the fuel my body would need. As luck would have it, there was a fresh porta-john near the staging area waiting to be desecrated with my spicy innards. No regrets baby, no [...]
More Charm City Cross
Posted: 21st September 2011 by The Ghost of Jerry Reed in Race RelationsTags: Cyclocross
With a hankering for some masochism and a desire to indulge my interest in “Homicide” and “The Wire” shooting locales (where was Yaphet Kotto buried anyway?), Bloggy packed his carpetbag and headed north to bucolic Baltimore, Maryland for a weekend of sightseeing and cross racing. Charm City Cross was held at Druid Hill Park and [...]

Here’s the storm that was a brewin’ Sunday afternoon that truncated our relaxed road ride but bumped up the effort/intensity levels by ten fold. Yes, pictures of clouds are awesome and inspiring, yet terrifying. Thanks to Billiam for the inspiration. In racing news, congratulations to Hawley north Florida sales rep and devoted family man Andrew [...]
US Pro Cycling Championships: One Night In Paris Mountain

I thought about calling the name of this post “Different Heat Strokes” but I didn’t want to offend any Conrad Baines fans out there… all three of you (including Bloggy). Anyhoo, with a steadily rising temperature and a race that was already flying along at a record breaking clip, Bloggy’s older sister dragged me kicking [...]
“I Would Like A Failure Pile In A Sadness Bowl”

Best spacers at the Tsali 12 Hour… Joshie’s (graphics mumblehead) racing season has been somewhat dormant the past 6 months. After abstaining from cyclocross and thumbing his nose at the spring criteriums, something must’ve snapped within his resistance because the lovable lout signed up for the solo division in the 12 Hours of Tsali this [...]
Tour De Midlands

Comments Off
On the spur of a moment… of a complete lack of clarity… caused by a laundry list of mental defects, I agreed to ride the metric century at Saturday’s Tour De Midlands with the pride of our nutritional product management division, Jose Texidor! Jose showed up in a pair of Pace riding shorts from the [...]
Durham Cyclocross Tidbits

First things first, happy Monday wage slaves. We trust your weekend was restful and full of episodes of “The Closer” (on TNT) re-runs. Bloggy has been trying to upgrade from the lowly realm of CX4 all winter and this weekend would be his last chance until next season which meant no re-runs of “The Closer” [...]
Predator Theater Players & New Year’s Resolution #1: Tell Jose “I Love You” 50 Percent More
Posted: 30th December 2010 by The Ghost of Jerry Reed in Daily Ramblings, Movie Theater Players, Predator, Race RelationsPoor Sven Nys, the burly Belgian can’t buy a break (whoa! inadvertent alliteration). Yesterday’s GVA race looked like it was heading to the sprint finish we would’ve had at Tuesday’s race until a not-ready-for-primetime pit minion caused Nys to wreck and hand Niels Albert another victory. Sporza has the final lap so you can judge [...]

“……. There I was yet again, sliding effortlessly over a patch of dew-slickened grass on the last turn before the start of the backside pavement, and my thoughts immediately turned to food. Specifically, the bagels, scrambled eggs and sausage I had consumed a mere 3 hours before and the insouciant hint of pan grease still [...]
