This Made My Day
From James Raia's column today in the Cycling Examiner:
David Clinger is/was one of cycling’s unique individuals. Handsome, talented and spirited, his career took an odd turn a few years back when his covered his face with a Maori Warrior-style tattoo. Combine his unique appearance with a temper and there weren’t a lot of opportunities for the former Lance Armstrong teammate — except for the perfect place, Rock Racing. Clinger rode as a strong team rider in the circuit race at the Sea Otter Classic and finished third in the criterium. He had other strong early season results, including a small road race win. But soon enough, Clinger was jettisoned from Rock Racing. Sean Weide may be cycling’s best PR guy. With colleagues, Rock Racing distributed press info nearly every time team owner Michael Ball sneezed in 2008. But when Clinger left the squad, nothing was said. None of the much-followed cycling sites reported on the “mystery,” either. Clinger, soon to be age 31, is a character, for sure. And I wonder if he’ll surface on the cycling scene, again.

Now Starring: Me
Last December, I helped manage media and communications for the National Cyclocross Championships in Kansas City. It was four long days in cold, bone-chilling conditions (and snow). It probably would have been a better experience had the heater for the press tent not blown a fuse after the first day.So it was with mixed feelings that I watched the trailer for a new movie about the races in Wyandotte County Park. That is, until I caught a glimpse of myself (in high definition, no less) about halfway through the video. It reminded me of how nice it is to do your job without having to wear two stocking caps, snow pants, boots and gloves.
