Due to certain misunderstandings, I’m posting this so that everyone knows. Sunday rides will be at 2 p.m. unless otherwise posted prior to Saturday evening. I will also make sure that what type of ride we are doing is posted so you don’t show up to a road ride rocking the knobbies. Just a little info that may be useful.
Sorry Ike, we would have loved your company…

Senators Obama and McCain:
We were reading the other day about the tobacco legislation you both support that is making it’s way through Congress. The bill would give the federal government the authority to regulate tobacco. And it would ban flavored cigarettes - like strawberry and chocolate. Flavoring makes tobacco smoke more attractive - especially to young people. So, we agree - flavoring should be banned from cigarettes. Here’s the curious thing, though. Under the bill, all flavorings would be banned. Except for menthol. Thank You for Smoking. (more…)

Legendary journalist Bill Moyers electrified an audience of more than 3,500 in Minneapolis this morning calling the media reform movement “the most significant citizens’ movement to emerge in this new century.”
Watch Moyers’ speech now:
Moyers said that the work of activists like you has “challenged the stranglehold of mega-media corporations over our press” and fostered “alternative and independent sources of news and information that people can trust.”
“You’re not alone, and you know what we need to know,” he told the audience. “So it’s up to you to tell the truth about this country we love. … It’s up to you to remind us that democracy only works when ordinary people claim it as their own.”

If you haven’t had a chance yet, check out the June issue of Cycling Utah. Lance and Cole of Fixed Gear Hero fame have a write up in there somewhere. Last time I checked the .pdf wasn’t available on the website but you should be able to snag a copy for free in any self respecting bike shop in this state. Of course, next time you see the two of them make sure you stoke their egos….
Out.

The country is buzzing today over a tell-all book by former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan. In his explosive memoir, McClellan reveals that the Bush administration ran a “political propaganda campaign” to mislead the American public on the war in Iraq.
But he takes it one step further, implicating the mainstream media for its role in “enabling” this propaganda: “The national press corps was probably too deferential to the White House” in spreading the president’s case for the war, McClellan writes. The mainstream media didn’t live up to its watchdog reputation. “If it had, the country would have been better served.”
This should be a shock to everyone. The president’s own spokesman lays a large share of the blame for Bush’s pro-war propaganda on the media’s “deferential” treatment of White House spin.
Please become part of a growing people-powered campaign to investigate this scandal and make media more accountable to the public:

The time has arrived for me to raise some money. Of course I need your help. As you know I’m riding the Tour de Cure fixed to raise money for Diabetes. The tour is coming in quick and fast and I don’t have much longer, but I have to raise $150. I don’t expect any one of you to donate all the money but it would be nice to see some donations of any amount. As is cliché, every little bit helps.
So DONATE.

We have had a slight change to our group ride schedule. Due to pressure from certain customers and the tradition we set last year, our mountain rides have been moved back to Wednesday. This means we will do a rode ride on Monday instead. You can check out the Sunrise Cyclery Rides and Event page for more details.
Thanks,
