Around SBN: Dana White Announces Koscheck vs. Hendricks for UFC on FOX

It's official!

Peter van Petegem, a.k.a. 'de Peet', a.k.a. 'De zwarte van Brakel' is calling it quits.
He might ride one or two crits after the Eneco Tour, but that's it, he won't return next year. The announcement came yesterday, after the second stage of the Eneco Tour had finished.

In the 'cycling-afterlife' he's considering training youths, so watch closely for new talents produced by a classics specialist!

This is a sad day for sure
But i just don't see him continuing in the support role that he's in.  He'll always be my all time favorite classics guy.

A frozen 'cross ride from this last weekend. As you may be aware we have had siberian conditions here in the UK with a low of -14 degrees centigrade here on saturday morning. It was a beautiful sunny morning so i layered up and set off for a snowy 'cross ride along a roman road. I checked the thermometer when i got back to find it had been -10 throughout the ride! I had a lot of fun though and the views were spectacular.
