Reports of Tyler Hamilton's fight with depression and his recent admission of using banned substance DHEA reminded me of the following article Trouble Climbers

Having battled depression myself, I can understand where Tyler is at. I wish him well and hope he is able to find the answers he is looking for.

Cancer

I want to say a huge "THANK YOU" to all my friends and family that have stepped up to help out during the last few months.

I've been very private about what has happened, but realize that it isn't exactly fair to people that have been close to me. I kind of just disappeared and left some people wondering, "what the hell happened to B?"

Without going into too much detail I will just say that I was diagnosed with cancer in January and have been undergoing treatment. I hope to return to racing and leading Team Integrate later in the year, but for now, I will be concentrating on getting well and taking care of my family.

TFW has been a great way for me to let my goofy-ass side to run around free. I have the feeling I'll be needing that kind of outlet over the next couple of months.

Again, thanks for all your support and being understanding as I took some time to collect myself.

Thanks for reading. Check back for more TFW foolishness soon!

Insta-Dope Nutrition

Here's the funny part, this idea came to me while my insomniac ass is jetting around the blogosphere craving, but unable to attain a suitable state of rest at 2 a.m.

So me and my blood shot eyes stumbled upon a LANCE ad for some miracle stimulant while scoping the latest product tests from the crew at cyclingnews.com. This is the result.

Humor + (me - sleep)= my little journey into advertising.
