FEEL THE LOVE, CROSS SEASON IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER..

The madness of Cyclocross season is just weeks away now when people addicted to bicycles with nobby tires and road bike like geometry will enjoy the purest form of suffering on earth, cx racing, unless of course you are a female rider racing in what appears to be a "boner cross" race somewhere in this great country, just pure joy for the ladies...as a group in general, cyclocross people are just plain sick and wrong.....the reason I dig it.

SANCHEZ, COOK WIN GOLD

Samuel Sanchez (SPAIN) saved it for that final charge to the line and captured GOLD at the 2008 Olympics in the country that hates Tibet.

On the women's side, Great Britain’s Nicole Cooke won the top podge spot.

Sanchez held off a pretty tough group in the sprint which included Cancellera and Andy Schleck. It looked like trouble when Cancy bridged the gap in the final K's, but the bridge effort took too much out of the World TT champion...

WIENS "COOKS" ARMSTRONG IN LEADVILLE 100

LEADVILLE, Colorado — Fans lined the intersection of 6th St. and Harrison Ave. in downtown Leadville before the sun even fully rose, all awaiting what was billed to be an epic battle between David Wiens and Lance Armstrong.The two cycling legends didn’t disappoint during Saturday’s Leadville 100, as they went wheel-to-wheel for nearly the entire race, causing everyone, including Wiens, to wonder whether the five-time defending champion could hang with the seven-time Tour champion.“I never even considered that I would win,” Wiens said just after finishing. “When you’re riding with Lance and you can’t shake him, and he can’t shake you, you’re not going to win that race. At least, I didn’t think so.”But with just less than 10 miles from the finish line, Armstrong pulled up and all but conceded the race to Wiens.“We climbed up till Turquoise Lake and as soon as we hit the dirt, he said, ‘I’m done, go,’” Wiens said, still stunned nearly an hour later.“At the end, I realized that I was totally cooked,” Armstrong said. “ ... He said, ‘Come on,’ and I just said, ‘No, I can’t.

BEAVER CREEK XTERRA "TOUGHEST COURSE OF THEM ALL"

Apologies if the blog has recently turned into the Courtney wuwuwuwuwuwuz up hoooolmes Gregory show....but uh, the guy is going pretty well right now. Today he crushed at Xterra at Beaver Creek on a course all the competitors said was easily the toughest Exterra course of the year. The Mountain Bike climb was sick, the run was explained a brutal, and through it all Courtney podged a second place in his age group...vij to come. Locals crushed in many classes, Steve White won his division and looked crazy strong on the bike when I saw him, Dawes Wilson won his age division, Peter Dann won his as well and Dan Wieland finsihed 7th overall. Josiah Middaugh podged for a third place overall....

And by the way, Dave Wiens threw down on Lance Armstrong at the Leadville 100 today and broke the course record again...6:45, what a freak.
