Cost: $20, which includes the following: breakfast, supper, t-shirt designed by eDBiLLy, Hopluia!

Course- approximately 50 miles, with the possibility of a little gravel & dirt this year (if it's good enough for the Giro, it's good enough for CiTy BiLLy). Lincoln to Cortland & back, with a tour of Spilker Ales in Cortland by Igor, the bottling ogre.

Note- This is a no rider left behind ride.

To register- Contact eDLoNNiE. It would be great if you could provide your t-shirt size ASAP. You can pay the registration fee the day of the ride. I will provide you my address upon registration.

I apologize for the lack of posts. Those of you that know me, know that it's been a difficult couple of months. Thanks for your kind words & actions. Now, it's time to get back to the business of living. LBL, Nebraska's Spring Classic is scheduled for Saturday April 23rd.

Captain Beefheart

Captain Beefheart passed away this week. He truly was an original.

Go Cipo!

Mario Cipollini has always been one of my favorite cyclists. He's a character.Now that he's retired, he wants to offer some constructive criticism & I, for one, can't wait to hear more. Here's the link to a spot on assessment of the 2010 TdF.

Short List

Please listen to this LOUD & tell me , who the hell could do this, today, without studio magic? This is a perfect example of skill vs. hype: DONE.

I apologize that it's taken so long for me to recap. Another banner ride! A new route, complete with pave, a new beer & food stop (LA Fire Door Company, many thanks). New faces brought the rider count to 16. Everyone rode together, which I really appreciated, since I had been on the bike once in the previous two months. The beer tasting afterwards, preceded by a totally unbelievable meal, presented the kind of problem I excel at solving- how do you drink 16 different beers & remain a good judge? Answer: drink the really good ones several times during your judging to center your scoring range! Special thanks to eDBiLLy, Meg, eDDy Lee, CoNNiE for going above & beyond in making this quite simply, the finest CiTy BiLLy ride, ever. The bar has been raised for the next event, LBL!
