Dust off the 12/27, or the compact crankset...
The 'Assault on the Peak' ride UP Pikes Peak!
The stats-
19 miles...pavement and gravel
Starts @ 7750 ft altitude
Ends @ 14,110 ft altitude
Avg. 6.7%
Max 10.5%

As most of you know, my last name is not Bahamontes, but DAMN that looks like a good time!

Now for a mini-rant...

I don't like Joe Papp, period! Today, he outright called Levi Leipheimer a doper on his blog.
No, I will not now, nor will I ever link his blog b/c he just does not deserve any more attention. He's the Paris Hilton, or Lindsey Lohan, of the cycling world.
My issues are as follows:

1) He's a hypocrite. Papp doped his entire 'career'. He doped his no talent ass all the way to the middle, then failed test at the Tour of Turkey and got banned.
2) He SOLD dope to other cyclists. Oh, did I mention that he was selling HGH, EPO, and other products, WHILE he was testifying against Floyd Landis? Papp sold from 9/06 to 9/07. Floyd's trial before the USADA was 5/07. Yeah, he did that shit!
3) He got popped for selling EPO and HGH, among other thing, to 187 different 'clients'! No, that's not a typo! He made in excess of $80k selling to cyclists, tri-dudes and many other athletes.
4) Now, he's a crusader against doping? Fuck you Papp! I'll listen to Millar and few others, but not some come-to-Jesus-on-prom night jerknut! The two Federal counts he's being sentenced for bring up to TEN years in PMITA prison and $500,000 fine. That can double if any of his 'clients' were under age 18!

Why should YOU be pissed? You have probably raced against dudes he sold dope to at some point in the past few years! I personally know guys who have seen his 'pharmacy' firsthand! That means some of you guys do too!

June 25th is coming Papp! I hope you're doing your 'special' exercises! You'll be VERY popular in the joint!

End rant...

Oh, and we rode tonight...
Renick tomorrow, then going to pick up the new whip!
