Fight Cancer, Win an Ibis, Ride with Chuck and Fatty

2009 Philadelphia LiveStrong Challenge: Fatty's Speech from Fat Cyclist on Vimeo.

I'm posting this video to give some background on Fat Cyclist. '...That is how we will fight. We will show focus, we will show creativity, we will show endurance and not stop. And we will be kind.' (approx 13:15)

Dejan Smaic's (Sportif Images) photo from Interlocken is a great shot but is only a glimpse at the pain and pace of Sunday's race. It's one thing when you speak of yourself as pedaling backwards in a race, but it's another thing to have a teammate say that to you afterwards. I think that in and of itself is a pretty accurate statement of the race.

SSWC'09 Pictures

People have been searching for any and all Singlespeed World Championship 2009 Durango photos. Here's my collection including the pre-ride, New Belgium Party, and the Starting Line Crowds.


Friday's Group Pre-Ride of the course.


Friday night's New Belgium Party.

At the start line on Saturday morning.

All of my SSWC'09 Durango photos can be viewed and downloaded from either my MobileMe gallery or from Picasa Web gallery.

Who would have thought that searching, "how to inplug a drain full of mud and dirt," would put Rolling In the Dirt in the top 10 Google search results. It lands on my August 30th post about my toddy brewing. Thanks Lijit for keeping track of this info!

Velonews...

This might be the closest I'll ever get to being pictured on Velonews.com. Yeah, right there next to JHK, with the iPhone upside down. That's me. We're both watching Heather Irmiger get inked after claiming victory in the Singlespeed World Championships 2009 in Durango.

Many thanks to Greg Keller of
Mud and Cowbells for making this psuedo-dream come true!
