Bike Hugger 

A beadless clincher? How is that possible? No idea either, but Bikemag tried them.

Jimmy Johns Cap

Not as good as a Turkey Dinner or dramatic like the tweaker remnants, but found a Jimmy Johns cycling cap found this weekend. It was added to our roadside finds collection.

My return to mountain biking had many scenes like this. It was not all effusive blog posts, tweets, and videos. Those times I slow-hucked the gnarls, rode up puke hill, or away from wolves had dabs. Not the same syntax, but did feel those mind fs in my head. Helmet worked ok though and was not a c-word. 22 times it took me once to get up a technical section with my Cross bike last season.

The Giro is on and reminds me of the time we rode there on the Dragon’s back in what’s aptly called a Cycling Mecca. We got lost on every route and we’re ok with it cause Italy is that beautiful with well-paved roads, cars that defer to you, and good food. We ate, slept, and rode there a few years ago in a hotel that the Pros used to base their training at.

More photos from that trip are on Flickr and our take of the Giro as the race unfolds on Suffer Faces and Twitter.
