It was Ryan Trebon all over the third round of the PRO XC Tour this weekend at Ute Valley Park in Colorado Springs. Trebon hammered the lead group time after time until he left them for good with two laps to go on the 4.5 mile super fun and fast circuit. The race venue was incredibly spectator friendly,and Trebon wacked the field back to back in XC and then the first and very exciting Pro Eliminator race on USA soil.

Katerina Nash won a brutally tough race in a drenching rain storm going away...below, the start of the women's open race, first climb.
 

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF SANDUSKY THE TICKLE MONSTER

Jerry Sandusky referred to himself as the "Tickle Monster" according to the sixth accuser in the sickening PSU investigation and case. He is seen here in all his glory with a pile of his "players" holding him up in celebration while he more than likely had a raging boner. I've heard enough in this one folks. Throw this douche in prison and cut off his air supply, please. 
I'm anxiously awaiting the excuse of "New Car Smell" which made him pull little kids pants down. 
You know what Sandusky and Walmart have in common? They both have boys underwear half off.

OFF TO COLORADO SPRINGS

The best in the country line it up tomorrow at the Ute Valley Pro XC Tour in Colorado Springs. National Champions and Olympians will be lining it up to throw it down. A short XC loop means plenty of chances for spectators to see their favorites. Pro women roll at 1:30 Saturday, Pro men 3:30. I'm going.

THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED, WOLVERTON SHUT DOWN

Let A2B be the first to tell the world that the United States Forest Service has shut down the Wolverton Loop, which was never a legally recognized trail in the first place as of today. I was there, they were there, and they have covered the trail with approximately 40 logs, so far, to shut the gem down. There is no recourse, and you probably do not want to be "that person" to make the news. This is disturbing news for the Hardscrabble Humper as one of the premier sections is no longer available, which means some modification will have to be done in the future, which I will do.....freekin big bummer for Eaqle riders.

NOT GOOD....USADA LOWERS THE BOOM.

THE LETTER TO Johan Bruyneel which Lance was also copied on can be read HERE

USADA has a special place in mind for Johan's thumb...

It appears that the USADA (United States Anit-doping Agency) has got all the ducks in a row after the Grand Jury investigations which recently took place. This is not going to turn out good, for anyone. 

And here is another obnoxious fishing video...from me.

FOUR PEOPLE THAT WILL NOT WIN THIS YEARS TOUR DE FRANCE

This is the A2B prediction of who will not win the 2012 edition of the world's greatest bike race, the Tour De France

1. Chris Horner

2. Andy Schleck of the Schleck sisters

3.  Lance Armstrong

4. Jerry Sandusky

With regards to Sandusky, can we just saw his penis off now and let him bleed to death so tax payers do not have to pay his bill in prison, please. PSU, or Penetration State University, may never recover from this sick bastard's crimes against children. De-ball him, immediately. 

PAYING FOR IGNORANCE.....

Wanna hurt yourself? Ride this loop. Holy bajeeez I know better. The ride that just keeps giving, vertical. STAY OFF of Hwy 93 between Coal Creek and Golden, the shoulder is not there right now and it was death race 2012 heading back to my start point, if I'd have known I would have never put myself in that position, thankfully the cars and BIG trucks were cool and gave me plenty of room, but it was fucking nerve racking, basically riding interstate with ZERO shoulder for about 5-6 miles when I was already exhausted, FUCK.

HORNER DONE AT TOUR

 

Chris Horner of the Radio Shack Nissan Trek Leopard Postal Nutra Fig Mercury Francais de Jeux Webcor Saturn Silence Lotto Saunier Duval Asatna team was told he will not be riding in the Tour De France yesterday by his wife, who found out on the internet. To which A2B says, douches.
