Get your Evil gear.

Go here to order up your own kit. We don't particularly care who you are or what you're about. Just give us your money and shut it.

Snowball's Chance in Hell

It rained, it was slick as hell, and my feet were soaked... so it was perfect.

Blinglespeed

Got a bike with only one gear? Then get your ass to www.blinglespeed.com. You can post your own ride, or drool over the pimped out dirt bikes of other knuckle-draggers. Either way, it's better entertainment than downloading tsunami videos. Oh, yeah, tell me you haven't been doing that. Fuckin' sicko.

Chewey's a fuckin' badass

So, Moffit calls up and says, "Hey, you guys mind if I use the Evil logo for our hockey jerseys?" "Hell no," we replied. Moffit is one bad motherfucker, so we thought it would be cool. This guy drinks like a true retarded dingo, grows facial hair like a champeen, and acts like a complete ass - He's basically a hairier Chevil if Chevil were to actually eat a sammich every once in a while. Here's what he came up with. Holy crap. Stay outta his crease.

Hahaha hah hahahahaha!

hahahahahahahahahaha ha ha ha heh heh heh hahaha... uhhh... heh heh.

This is an acutal photo, no photoshop magic this time. It's Scott Coady from "The Tour Baby" hobnobbing with some dude from the Postal squad. Heh heh heh. Hooooo! Hee hee hee hee.

Pro Cyclists Suck!

I'm not sure what is more retarded these days: the "vote" in Iraq, or some of the new pro cycling team uniforms. The vote "in" Iraq is pretty fucked up, since the only folks I know of voting in that election at time of print are in the United States. The rest I see is "insurgents" dead set on fucking up the program. I mean, really, who the fuck are we, the US to tell these people how to govern? We suck. I had a drunken conversation with a Brit last night, who summed it up, through his vodka laden lisp : "W and company are a bunch of lying cunts", I happen to agree with him.

And then there's the torture issue. They talk about torture left and right, about how the US is a big violator of human rights policies, etc, etc....now I wonder if there is some direct parallel between the torture in war prisons and the torture inflicted on anyone looking at the new pro uniforms for 05. Eesh. I mean, let's look at this seriously. Are these people on drugs?  Well, we know some of them are, wink wink, nudge nudge.

Discovery Channel - seems blue and grey are the biggest themes this year. Civil war with more focus on the pastel end of the respective hues. Them, Quick Step, and a host of others are vying to be least distinguishable. Oh, and by the way, don't bother thinking anything other than Big Tex WILL ride the Tour. Misdirection is one of Texas' favorite plays, you know.

Liquigas/Bianchi - I never have known a team to look more like piss. Poor old Cipo won't be behind the "red train" or the "zebra train" anymore.....he'll be at the end of a stream of piss. Eesh.

Naturino-Sapore di Mare - Ok, now this one kills me....I think there's a simian theme here. First, they get ol' drug boy Francesco Casagrande....who mysteriously looks like a chimp. Then, in order to put him in a uniform befitting of his rather primate-like appearance, they turn a band of hopped-up-on-goofballs chimpanzees loose on a blank slate, armed with crayons. Behold. The most schizophrenic and fucked up looking kit since that bitched up looking denim suspender kit of the late 80's early 90's. Their name escapes me. I blame it on my Guinness hangover.

Domina Vacanze - someone dusted off the old Lotto/ABX jersey scheme. Same colors almost, but they ruined it with the layout.

Acqua y Sapone - Oh no......

T-Mobile - dead set on retaining the title of ugliest kit ever. Good god. That hot pink is a disservice to its great roster!

The are some others too, that should garner accolades for not fucking with what need not be fucked with. Fassa. RAGT-Semences, though ugly, stayed true. CSC is cool. Liberty is the same again. Saunier Duval. Euskatel (like they'd EVER change!) Lotto's quasi new look is true to form (and any team that has Henk Vogels gets a pass, period) A host of other teams....that I'm too bored to go into right now.

Now, on to something on domestic news. Ofoto canned Matt DeCanio. How much does that suck? They canned him for all the shit talk over at stolenunderground.com. Now, Matt and Co.'s take on anti-doping is a good one. There is no good argument for risking your life and health for sport through drugs. Then they started pouring all this crap onto their diatribes about drugs being "the devil" and not to let the "devil" get in your soul or some shit. C'mon, anti-doping is one thing, evangelism is another. Leave that religious hocus pocus out of it, (and for the record, down with God, up with Satan!). Regardless, Ofoto has proven itself gutless by firing the guy. Is Matt a little over the top? Yes, but in the face of widespread rampant drug use, there needs to be a big gun pointed in the other direction, and Matt is that lone gun, other than useless fuckrockets like me. Think anyone listens to me? Shit no, but maybe a pro, out there racing under threats of violence from cheaters, yes. He might get through to juniors, etc. But, the PC thing to do is to fire him and go on about sucking the cock of the corporate dollar, which is what Ofoto has chosen to do. Join me in boycotting their shit as a silent protest.

That's what I got for you.....now go ride!

Dave

If you've purchased an Evil Cycling cap, or are waiting for delivery, there are some things you just might want to know about your new life:

someone asked what to expect out of their new evil cap....

From Dave:

"It will reek of death and decay when you open it, that's normal. When you put the cap on your head, you will be gripped by searing, desperate migraines. These will pass. Your eyeballs will sprout huge red veins, and your nails will grow a full inch. Your teeth will sharpen, and you will crave blood. When you metabolize the cap, and weigh an additional 50 lbs of pure brute strength muscles, go kill."

Yyyearrr!

Outside of Brussels, Belgium:

The Evil Cycling Team has gathered its forces for the first training camp of the 2005 season in Belgium. Why
Belgium, and not some warm country, you ask? Captain Dave said, "Fuck warm places. We're here for the beer
and the cold wind. Some of us might not have minded warmer climes, but we couldn't get Biddle off of this
Belgium idea. I don't care. Fine by me. We ride anywhere from 2k to 200k a day, and drink. A lot."

The team looks to add to its impressive list of 24 complete team DNF's last year. The Tour, no. Vuelta, no. Paris Roubaix, no. Not one Black Rider crossed the line in those, or any other Euro race for that matter. Only the Wapello Burlington road race in Iowa saw Clarky and the Captain finish in the top 20. "There was beer in my wife's van", Clark was heard to cite as the reason for the fast finish.

The new 2005 uniforms are, well, exactly the same as the 2004 uni's, as well as 2003's. "When your sponsor is the Devil, there's not a lot of change expected. Just black, as always. Like our souls", team rider Sov said.

Look for the Evil Cycling Team Presented by Satan to not finish a race near you...
 

I heart Cumming

If you ever find yourself in South-Central Iowa - You might find Cumming fun. Ragbrai passed this way in 2003 and we liked Cumming... a lot.
