Keeping Tempo: 10-13-08

GamJams - rounding up, recapping and regurgitating the amateur cycling blogosphere so you can have more training time:

• The Service Course has the rest of the story of his shotgun ride in the Garmin car at Univest. You see Allen Lim's name a lot - in the trades, on the Saris website, quoted as a power pundit. But The Service's Course's narrative is the first time I've ever glimpsed the guy's personality. And he sounds like a hoot.
• What's better than 100km of cyclocross singletrack? <waiting. waiting. waiting> Didn't think so. DCMTB/City Bikes has a couple views from Iron Cross.
• While they went north to Michaux, Scott's Right of Way (and his trusty sidekick Jake) traveled south to sample Richmond's CX scene.
• While you're in VA, welcome Luke Harville of Chronicles of Luke to this whole interweb thing.
• The Long Ride, I couldn't agree more. Never mind those pedals - there are going to be lots more other shoes dropping over the next couple weeks.
