Any excuse to post the Maurice Ashley vs a Chess hustler video.
Missed the edit window on my last comment, and it did not actually answer your question. Derp. For an actual wool cycling jersey the Rapha Classic is a great option, though pricey. The cut is flattering, a bit more generous than a race cut, and it is very comfortable on and off the bike. Sign up for their newsletter…
Ibex is certainly one of the best, but Smartwool is fine. You will find it on sale a little later in the season.
I like Ibex a lot. This isn’t exactly cheap, but it’s not bad especially since you really only need one long-sleeve jersey.
It’s a newer rule, in response to Tony Stewart’s comments about the safety issues that not having all lug nuts on (for whatever reason, on purpose or by accident) could cause. Here’s an example of when a miscommunication kept the rear changer from getting lug nuts on Kyle Busch’s car, which led to the wheel rolling…
Did you hear that? All the Phillies are going to be masturbating with coconut oil next season.
THEYRE STILL GOOD DOGS LAUREN! THEY WERE DOING THEIR BEST

Man, between this and the players asking for a social justice month, I bet the Ginger Hammer is going to be pounding the white zin tonight. After it breathes a little of course, he’s not an animal.
So smooth, Santana asked him to replace Rob Thomas.
Dictionary attacks are usually going after low hanging fruit. It’s quite common for a dictionary attack to not include the entire dictionary, but simply the most common 1000-2000 or so words that people are using in their passwords, based on leaked data. Anything at all you can do to not appear on those lists is a…

Wouldn’t work for a lot of the heavy aircraft departing from SXM - the exhaust exiting the engines is higher than 8 feet.
Basically yes. The best TT riders can hold a specific(high) power output for an hour (+/-). Tony Martin and Fabian Cancellara only have held the yellow jersey after crushing the field in a TT. Both can take a flat stage if they break away. Or single day classics - Cancellara won Paris-Roubaix 3x, the Tour of…
TdF winners are usually the best time trialists(Froome, Wiggins, Indurain, LeMond, etc.). A good time trialist must be able to expend energy at a constant rate over the length of the course. They use that ability in the mountains as well, to limit their loses to the pure climbers and break the will of the other…
I *think* time trials favor riders who can put out large wattage over a long period of time. Climbers can put out a lot of power *relative* to their bodyweight, which doesn’t help when the main opposing force is drag. Sprinters can put out huge power but only over, say, a few hundred meters. They’re basically useless…
