The G-Rant : Grant's Rants on Adventure Racing

“Without adventure, civilization is in full decay.” - Alfred North Whitehead

Floyd Fever Resurgence -- the discount is back baby!

I hope Martin Dugard is right about there being a conspiracy to damage the tour (and, as it so happens, Floyd Landis).  That would make Landis innocent, justify all the jubilation and Floyd-Fever in the summer of 2006 (you can never forget Floyd's solo breakway to victory -- the greatest bit of racing I've ever seen!), and let us in good conscience re-instate Floyd's lifetime discount card entitling him to a 10% discount on HRAdventure and -- now -- Untamed Adventure events.  I might even bump that up to 15% for Untamed events, but we'll see how the finances go!

In a nutshell, Martin posits that the evidence is shaping up like we have a party seeking to discredit the Tour de France in general, not Floyd in particular, and that whomever won the Tour would have had their sample test positive.  The discrepancies are really piling up.

Now, I'm excited that Floyd would be innocent . . . but that still leaves an evil cabal out there tampering with drug tests and undermining the Tour.   The plot thickens . .  .

Floyd is/has said to be coming to race the 2007 Shenandoah Mountain 100. Floyd and Chris Scott go back a ways to racing long time classic "the Trek escape near new castle Va (noth of roanoake). The epic potts mountain race Chris and Floyd were dooking it out, i was there also.
