The pair won the duo pro category, and Janelle was already looking ahead to other endurance events. "I've done so many individual solo races. I'd never done a duo and he asked me to do it," said Ross of their shared 24 hours of Moab experience. Although he is known more recently for his involvement in endurance mountain bike and road events, Janelle raced for much of his career on the road. He was widely loved for his sense of humor and smile. Friends say that he was a joyous person who simply loved to ride. Mike would ride his bike to work winters as a ski instructor at Beaver Creek Resort from his home in nearby Avon, Colorado. A fund has been set up by Janelle's team-mates and friends in his memory in order to support Maribel and their unborn baby.
Dublin police to ride three-wheeled scooter
DUBLIN Police will soon be patrolling the city's busiest shopping center on a three-wheeled, clean-energy scooter. The T3 scooter, which has a top speed of 25 mph, looks like a beefier version of a Segway. It runs on batteries that need recharging every 30 miles. The police department now uses patrol cars and bicycles to navigate the shopping center on Hacienda Drive and Dublin Boulevard. The scooter, which was donated by center businesses, will give officers a good option, said Dublin police Lt. Glenn Moon. Patrol cars have more visibility, a good deterrent to bad behavior, but they are harder to use in crowded areas, Moon said, while bikes can be used when officers don't necessarily want to be seen. The motorized scooter is the best of both worlds, he said. "It has the (visible) deterrent of a patrol car, but somewhat of the stealth" of a bike, Moon said.
Bikers, joggers should stay off main alternate routes
The I-64/Hwy 40 reconstruction has created a dangerous situation for joggers and bikers who have long utilized many of St. Louis County's secondary streets. Joggers/bikers are putting themselves (and drivers) at risk by using these now overly populated side streets. I appeal to MoDot and media outlets to encourage bikers/joggers to find safer areas to get their exercise. Side streets such as Clayton, Litzsinger, Warson, Spoede and Conway have often attracted bikers and joggers. Drivers familiar with these areas have learned to share the road. However, the highway closures have brought many new motorists to these streets.The additional motorists, many of them less than familiar with the danger spots along their new routes, are coming precariously close to injuring defenseless bikers/joggers.
GAME DAY
He had six catches for 121 yards against Tennessee in the wild-card round.InjuriesPatriots - Almost all hands on deck with only special teamer Mel Mitchell (biceps) declared out. S Rodney Harrison (thigh) skipped practice Friday, but he was listed as probable.Chargers - They're a mess. Volek is a career backup who threw only 10 passes during the regular season and four more last week against the Colts. If he starts, he'll have to channel his 2004 self - the one who posted solid numbers (18 TDs, 10 INTs, 87.1 passer rating) while playing 10 games for the Titans. Gates' backup, Brandon Manumaleuna, is more of a blocker. Ryon Bingham (6-3, 303) would sub for Williams (6-3, 348).Bottom lineAlthough the Eagles made a habit of it in the NFC from 2001-03, the last AFC team to lose back-to-back conference finals were the John Elway-cursed Browns of 1986-87.
The Other Side of the Felt, Vol. 1: Road to the WSOP
I have always said that I have the best job in the world. Being a tournament director has given me the opportunity to see the world, meet my beautiful wife, Maryann (which resulted in the birth of my son in 2006), and meet thousands of interesting people along the way. In 1997, I was dealing at Bay 101 Casino and I developed carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand. I never could have known then that was the best break in my career. I loved dealing and was happy doing it, so I might not have ever quit, but because of the CTS I had to go on the floor to pay the bills. I eventually filled in for the vacationing tournament director and loved it right away. I had a real passion for .
