Jul 31, 2009 1 Comment by C-Huller

I’ve been sitting on this article from the Asheville Citizen-Times and it’s comments for about a week now since it was Tweeted. Unfortunately I can’t remember who posted it first, so I apologize. The reason I’ve been hesitant and unable to write about it, is the unadulterated anger that it provokes from me. I’ll say [...]

I’ll readily admit that I haven’t had this much fun since the 2004 Tour. Okay, 2005 was good just for Lance’s 7th, but 2006 was destroyed by Floyd [...]

It’s On And Poppin’! – TDF 2009

Jul 04, 2009 No Comments

So I’m sitting here eating Goya Maria cookies with Nutella spread on them thinking about the stage I didn’t see. Obviously that means I’m FULLY qualified to write a blog post about Stage 1 right?
