I don't want to steal Dan's thunder, but his recent fanpost reminded me of my gallery from last years MDC ride.

Right before I blew out my ACL I was contemplating switching from my Speedplay Zeros to either Dura-Ace or Keos.

A friend recently competed in his first Everest Challenge. Let's just say his experience and results were a little different than some others.

BREAKING: Landis Appeal Denied; Tour Title Forfeited; 2-yr Suspension!
by johnw

3-man arbitration panel rules that cyclist used drugs to win 2006 race. Links:
[editor's note, by chris] Apparently the decision centers on the panel's belief in the reliability of the tests, notwithstanding Landis' effort to discredit them (and with no regard to the various sideshows, e.g. LeMond/Gheohegian). The decision was reportedly 2-1. Expect ASO to name Oscar Pereiro the winner of the 2006 Tour de France within hours. And expect the Landis people to appeal within hours as well.
Update [2007-9-20 15:21:3 by chris]: VeloNews checks in, with some initial reactions from Landis & McQuaid. Appeal may be more than he can afford??
Update [2007-9-20 16:13:55 by chris]: Pereiro named the winner.
Update [2007-9-21 0:54:9 by chris]: ESPN's Bonnie Ford offers in-depth analysis of what the verdict means.

TdF Climb data

I saw a neat chart a few years back that plotted the 2005 TdF climb categories. So I created a similar chart for 2006 and now for 2007. Just some geeky stuff in case you wanted to compare your massive thigh burner climb with some actual TdF climbs

Last weekend Chris, from Podium Cycles, and I crewed for the 24 hours of RAAM.
[editor's note, by chris] Improbably, Chris from Podium Cycles is not related to yours truly. Pics and stories below!
