David Zabriskie is the Greatest American Cyclist Ever for one reason and one reason alone. 

You might think it is for his amazing ability to time trial.  You might also say it is for his continued hard work and consistent performance.  You could also say it is for his colorful and hilarious interviews. 

I would say you are all wrong.  The reason Dave Zabriskie is the greatest American cyclist is the mustache he was sporting at the Tour de Georgia.  That is second only to Brad Huff’s mullet. 

I wonder if they tested that thing in the wind tunnel.  I bet it added at least a few seconds to his time trial. 

I just hope this catches on.  How cool would it be to see the entire peloton sporting massive 70s mustaches

Sorry no picture on this post.  I didn’t get permission to post the picture so just follow the link above then come back here and tell everyone what you think about it.

I’m sure some of you have noticed the new banner in the upper right sidebar for the races to be held August 23rd and 24th.  Pre-Registration is available and open right now.

Ebby Norman of ProVelo Cycle has been the primary race promoter in the years past but I am taking on that role this year.  Ebby is still helping me out as I transition into the lead for these races.

We have a lot of things planned and are still working out all of the logistics for the events but they will happen and they will be better than they have been in the past.

Some of the issues we are going to address are:

• more bathrooms
• more food (5th Street Brew Pub has ran out of food and some beer 3 years in a row)
• more spectator entertainment
• more sponsors

So if you are going to race in this years events go pre-register.  If you have participated in the past as a spectator or race rider, please give me your feed back in the comments.  I’d really like to know what everyone thinks of these events and how we can make them better for everyone.  (please do not give negative feedback if you haven’t been to the races in person)

Also please comment on what you have like about other races you have been to and maybe we’ll incorporate some of the ideas into our event.

See you at the races.

It was a bit rainy today and it would have been a good day to read a book. I’ve read a few books about cycling and I thought it would be good to share my bicycle reading list with everyone else. All of these books can stand on their own and there are plenty of better book review writers than I could ever be so I’ll spare you the hassle of reading a lame review that I would have written and give you this instead….I like these books and maybe you will too. Thats the extent of my review so here are the books with links to get your own copy. Oh, and these are not really in any particular order, there’s just 10 of them.

1. Positively False: The Real Story of How I Won the Tour de France - Floyd Landis
2. Mountain Bike Like a Champion - Ned Overend
3. Bicycling and the Law: Your Rights as a Cyclist - Bob Mionske
4. It’s Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life - Lance Armstrong, Sally Jenkins
5. 5 Essentials for a Winning Life: The Nutrition, Fitness, and Life Plan for Discovering the Champion Within - Chris Carmichael
6. Bicycles Locked to Poles - John Glassie (Interesting Collection of Photos)
7. The Death of Marco Pantani: A Biography - Matt Rendell
8. The Quotable Cyclist: Great Moments of Bicycling Wisdom, Inspiration and Humor - Bill Strickland
9. Critical Mass: Bicycling’s Defiant Celebration - Chris Carlsson
10. Atomic Zombie’s Bicycle Builder’s Bonanza - Brad Graham, Kathy McGowan (There could be a tall bike in my future)

Please leave any thoughts or comments you have about these books or suggest other books to everyone by leaving a comment bellow.

I had several requests to post the full race results on the site and not just the finishers that were “in the money” so here are the extended results for both races. Please note that this is still not all of the finishers down to last place. I could only go as far as what the USCF Officials put on the score sheets.

• Sedalia Historic District Criterium Full Results
• Otterville Road Race Full Results
