Yeah. Appreciate the signal boost - trying to get through this batch while I plan what the next step is.

Yeah, it's not great! Thanks for the signal boost - every bit helps.

The Service Course Shop the Service Course's selection of natural fiber bicycle cleaning kits, tools, and other cycling products. Favorites of amateur and professional mechanics worldwide.

I'll post more info on what that means on the site later, but TL;DR:
I've stockpiled some inventory, so if you or a friend would like a natural fiber wash kit at current price and availability, now's the time. www.theservicecourse.com/shop

Welp. With new tariffs finally driving supplier price changes, cost to produce our Service Course bike wash kits just went up about 30%.

Yes- he and Gerald were the force behind Tidewater Bicycle Association, which drove a lot of the racing down there.

On a related note, I haven’t talked to him in awhile, but I feel like Joy has the physical attributes and demeanor to be that guy.

Down in southeastern VA, we had Peter Teeuwen, also a Dutchie and coach, who was on a steel Gazelle, toe clips, Dettos, and friction Record shifters well into the 90s. His brother Gerald was an official.

“We agree, you’re not what you used to be.”

Ugh. I'm sorry. Glad she's OK. I'd love to do more rides with the whole family but...yeah.

A very insider Belgie once told me how Lefevere could always rely on the industrial parks of East Flanders as his piggy bank, but now that SOQ don't have the team for the cobbles, don't have the great Belgian hope, and don't have Lefevere, what's the pitch, exactly?

Welp, absolutely gutting your team's legendary classics capability to tepidly support a GC contender who's now leaving feels like a pretty big oof, now.

The road to cycling club hell is paved with alt kit designs.

Just another kid chasing the trends, JBV.

Seconded.

If someone had told me 10 years ago that Lampre was going to win every race on the calendar I would have laughed my ass off.

Thanks for sharing this.

I mean, I might not practice it, but I definitely *endorse* it.

From the time when shoes had everything - velcro, dials, buckles, little screws on the back of the heel cup for some reason.

What quiz show do I need to win to have Victor Campenaerts record the greeting on my home answering machine?

Glad to see Pogacar moving that left arm and shoulder pretty easily in the finish chute. That curb impact looked painful.

Logging off until any "should they wait" discussions are over.

Come on, Healy.

Somewhere in the bottom of my race bag, there are probably still Breathe Right strips from the last time people were using Breathe Right strips.

Nice to see De Lie putting some solid finishes together.

a crowd of people standing at the side of the road and cheering at the tour de france. many of the people are wearing bright yellow hats. one person is waving a black and white striped flag. in front of them is an alpaca wearing a jaunty yellow kerchief

you can just bring your alpaca to watch the bike race. no one will stop you from doing this
