Week 29
TBH Content
We started out the week with Dan’s review of some of Amino Vital’s energy products. After that, I went camping for a few days in the mountains to escape some pretty uncomfortable weather down in the valley. Aside from a dumbass discharging a can of bear spray into our campsite, it was an awesome retreat — no bugs, comfy temperatures, and lots of swimming. Good stuff.
Elsewhere around the ‘net
VeloNews posted up the transcript for Floyd Landis’ chat with Larry King. BikeMagic has a review of the Scott Ransom 10. MTBR.com reviews Niner Bikes’ SIR 9. asilvertouch ‘zine takes a look at some Kona XC gloves and a Kona hydration pack.
One of the world’s premier mountain bike events has been taking place up at the Whistler Bike Park over the past 10 days. Even though I didn’t head up for the event myself, I’ll post up some links later in the week instead of the canned releases that are showing up elsewhere. As a teaser, you can know that Brian Lopes won the AirDH race down A-Line, Giant’s Adam Craig took the Super D race, and Cam Zink won the Slopestyle event.
Oh, and Floyd Landis’ Tour result is under the spotlight after the results from a single test showed a high testosterone : epitestosterone ratio. The results were released prematurely too — how difficult is it for the people involved in this thing to keep their mouths shut for a week while Landis’ B sample gets tested? And WTF is the media doing hounding Landis’ mom? Last I checked, she wasn’t even remotely involved in this thing, other than being on of The Floyd’s parents.
