OK, a diversion from the heavy lifting of managing programs. There are two rides, spring and fall, in Moab Utah for the Lance Armstrong foundation. Most years there are celebrity riders. I never get to ride with them, because our...
Workers at numerous employers in the Boston area noticed something a bit odd about some of their normally clean-shaven colleagues this month: They’re sporting moustaches. It’s “Movember” for more than 250,000 people worldwide, including about 100 in Greater Boston. The U.S. participants are raising money and awareness for the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong...

Contador believes that he will have a strong team to support him at the Tour de France and he has also stated that he has a good working relationship with the Kazakh...
[The below list has already appeared in an earlier post, but people seemed to like it - as such, I thought I'd publish it separately so that people don't have to read through the pro-twitter polemic that originally preceded it. I've added in a few extra points just to make this vaguely defensible as a 'new' post.] The twitter experience is nigh on impossible to define - it's different for everybody....
I am helping to organize a party for Dec 4th to benefit The Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Both of these charities are aimed at ridding the world of Prostate Cancer, or at least demote it to the level of the common cold. The party will be at The Rackhouse Pub on Kalamath [...]

An online debate was sparked by Josh Pettitt in the Cardiff Journalism School newsroom which has spread across WordPress and Twitter flaming debate. The Greatest Sporting Icon of the Noughties is the issue, and personally I feel there is only one possible choice. Men such as Michael Schumacher, Lance Armstrong and Ricky Pointing have all been hugely successful since 2000. Though Michael Brown’s...

It's your standard water bottle with a squeeze top made for cycling, but it comes with its very own water filter. The filter adds a little weight to the bottle, but it filters out 99.9 percent of microbial cysts ( cryptosporidium...
