What's happening race fans! This is the big weekend, the return of the US Open! We're on the ground here in New Jersey, and things are looking good! If you're here, let us know what you think. Otherwise feel free to speculate wildly, hypothesize about outcomes, or just banter away as usual. Get stoked!

I will just say, the speeds at which this track is raced make it a lot more wild than one might judge. With that is mind, it isn't exactly Val di Sole. The breakfast at the Ft Bill cafe is one of the better meals going on the circuit though, and I appreciate that a lot.

Don't misunderstand why Loic doesn't like the 29'er. Yes faster is faster, but he is coming from the standpoint of "why go faster"? If it is an advantage now, but then everyone adopts the wheel size, it just means that everyone would then just be going even faster - which is hard to fathom. To see the speed in person, and see the unfortunate moments when things go wrong at that speed...Loic's view point is reasonable. And he's not the only one. The hype of the big wheel is hype, and there will be some more to come other than...
