In Case No One Told You, It Was Good Weekend For Cycling
I mean, don’t get me wrong—Omloop Het Nieuwsblad is always pretty upbeat because people are amped—dare I say stoked?—for actual racing to begin. But this year’s event played out in a particularly satisfying fashion. Relative newcomer Luke Rowe of Sky initiated the winning move still 60k from the line, not by slipping away in crash…
Deconstructing Self-Destruction
I got into a little Twitter dust-up this weekend with VeloNews’ John Bradley. It wasn’t on purpose—yes, I did tweet a rebuke at him, but it was based largely on my misinterpreting something he’d written. @johnwbradley @velonews shop your feelings away. Strong take. — Cyclocosm.com (@Cyclocosm) January 31, 2016 @johnwbradley @velonews my apologies. My interpretation…

The Recon Ride Podcast: Tour of Flanders 2015
Episode 7: Tour of Flanders An interview-filled edition on what I consider the biggest race of the year, The Tour of Flanders.
