I joined Loon State Cyclists before the 2006 season knowing little about the club other than that a few people I knew were members. The thing about LSC that was so surprising was that every time I went to a team event or talked to someone on the team they acted like they had known […]
I was talking with Super Rookie a while back about nothing important and he had asked me to write up a little something on tech (neutral) race support. I said alright let me think about it and I’ll get you something.
Technical support has historically been one of the most overlooked items for putting on […]

This past Sunday I ventured out to the Bike Swap at the National Sports Center with the tape recorder in hand. The best part about the swap is that it is one of only the few times all year where most of the local cyclists are gathered in the same area with out the spectacle of a race going on in the background. In the course of an hour I was able to score interviews with a lot of the players of the Minnesota cycling scene and learn a lot about some upcoming events and the 2008 year.
The first interview is over 45minutes of hard hitting action with the likes of Ian Stanford (Grandstay), Brandon Gavic (Flanders), Doug and Dan Swanson (Grandstay). These four riders dish out the dirt like nobody’s business and tell the world who should be racing in the NVGP, who should buy their stuff, who gets dropped at Durand and bunch of other Cat1 gossip. You will want to listen to this one! […]

This week we have a fantastic interview with Jay “Hollywood” Henderson. He serenades us with his views on everything that you care about. Updates to other importing items are in the prelude. As always, give us your guesses on the intro music (Artist and Title). *Hint* - it is not a TV Show theme song.

Sheldon Brown: 1944 - 2008
One aspect of local racing that I’ve always thought would enhance the overall scene is making a slight change to the race distances. I believe all categories would benefit from an adjustment, but I want to first focus on the Men 1/2 since that is where I race. My proposal is not for the local or national federation to enforce, but for promoters to see the benefits and adopt it at their own free will. […]
