Major Taylor: 2009 George Street Bike Challenge

When it comes to marketing and "getting a jump on things" I love that the Major Taylor Association has put together a short marketing video for the 2009 George Street Bike Challenge. The event is taking place on Saturday, July 26, 2009. For more information, see the Major Taylor Association events website.

Uphill time trial. July 26, 2009 (the last Sunday in July). See how fast you can pedal up this two-block quad-buster in downtown Worcester, Mass., that was a training ground for 1899 world champion Major Taylor.

Politics: Throw them shoes

The cat that threw, not one, but two shoes at President Bush in
protest of the United States's invasion and occupation of Iraq,
Muntadhar al-Zeidi, had his trial postponed yesterday.

Also, yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of Saddam Hussein's hanging.
Folks barely remember the date, despite a war that was bad from the
start and has claime over 4,200 American lives. Even in Saddam's
hometown of Tikrit no one paid any attention to the anniversary. Bad
is bad!
