Amazing. And strangely, when I picture Breu, it’s not for the Alpe but for a head-to-toe mud shot in Simon Burney’s original cyclocross book.

The “posting a photo as a video to appease the Instagram algorithm” thing is really annoying.

“Yes, I’d like to welcome our first caller, all the way from Copenhagen, Denmark. Hello you’re on the air…”

It’s a shame that its release by a rival grocery store chain will prevent the @tomashuuns.bsky.social collab this deserves.

So, how many competitors being airlifted from an event is too many?

The license-holding organization for the Lotto team is "Captains of Cycling." Love that confidence, boys.

The great thing about racing cyclocross is that nobody tries to talk to you about AI for 45 whole minutes.

I feel like the focus on top tube shape/profile for shouldering (see, e.g., new Pinarello Crossista) is disproportionate to the time spent shouldering in modern cyclocross.

Endurance sports are a great way to get in touch with your body as different parts fall off and roll down the street like a hubcap

Alpecin released rosters for races in four disciplines this weekend. Wild that Gravel Worlds is the who’s-who squad and Lombardia is the who’s-that.

the only cure is Gitanes www.carandclassic.com/make-an-offe...

Something very big would have to change in my own feelings, annoyances, and biases for the Service Course to ever text you.

Tubular glue now officially a mail order-only item around here. I hope you're happy, you tubeless heathens.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Chapeau to the 11-year-old who greeted me with, "your tire is off", as I shouldered my bike with its rolled tubular back to the car on Sunday. I think you coined cyclocross's version of "you can't park there."

Timing some special deliveries for our European friends at the MTB World Cup round in Lake Placid. www.instagram.com/stories/alva...

Holy crap do I not want to be resubscribed to Outside's emails every time I register for a bike race.

Possibly the most Belgian race, Ronde be damned.

I kind of like the improv, riders-only, parking lot Vuelta awards ceremony, TBH.

I would like to ride today's Vuelta route at my own much more reasonable pace.

This is my yearly plea/recommendation to catch some of these smaller Italian fall classics if you can. They're beautiful.

Look, nobody can help where they're from, but Impey seems ill-positioned to fight the "politics out of sport" battle.

Saw a crank bolt laying on the bike path this morning. Somebody’s going to have a spicy commute.

Pro mechanics have bought our brushes to use on the WorldTour road and World Cup #MTB circuits. But the data don't lie. #cyclocross is 100% our busy season. www.theservicecourse.com/shop/byob-wa...

Has Movistar signed him yet?

Tennis net cord apology discussion momentarily making cycling should-they-wait discourse seem reasoned. Momentarily.

Currently operating under the premise that everything will be ok once I get a bicycle

An update dropped a bunch of random sample products into the online store. We are not, in fact, selling aviator sunglasses, surfboards, mountain bikes, or generic green T-shirts.

Guys, we're gettin' the band back together...

Just saw a bike test short from a major cycling video content house that referred to "these crazy tires which are glued onto the wheels." And then I died, turned to dust, and blew away in the breeze.

A word from our sponsors, meaning the Service Course, meaning me. www.instagram.com/p/DNTnLORuOD...

Slightly diminish a band: Inexpensive Trick

Rode in DC on Sunday without so much as a phone for defense. When will my medal arrive?

Yes.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

This is where the Argy Bargy is made. #TdF2025 #LeTourDeFrance #TourDeFrance

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.

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

Thank you, Sam Abt, for giving us all something to aspire to. velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-ra...
