Life Is What Happens...

...While You're Busy Making Other Plans.

If you've followed the Triple Crankset, the above quote attributed to John Lennon sort of sums up the recent nature of the site. Though we won't bore you with the gory details, suffice it to say that the site hasn't exactly been completely dormant (even though it may just seem that way).

Over the past several months, T-o-03 has manned our Publish2 Triple Crankset Newsgroup. Publish2 is a medium that powers "link journalism," or "linking to reporting or sources on the web to enhance, complement, or add more context to original reporting."

It allows us to bring you articles from a wide variety of cycling and mainstream media outlets that you may not exactly run across on a daily basis, while helping us build up a huge library of topic related links.

Our newsgroup can be found on the inner right rail (see inset) and will soon be linked to our Twitter page (which also needs some attention) as well.

In another bit of house cleaning news, we will be cleaning out the queue in the month of January. So stories, articles, race and technologic write-ups that we intended to post before "life happened" will be intermingled with more current material.

Also be on the lookout for other new features, new interviews, and a site redesign in the near future.

We will also be "heading back to Cali" in the new year as we have once again been credentialed for the Amgen Tour of California in February.  I'm not envisioning a Lance Armstrong tête-à-tête, but it certainly would be fun to get an exclusive during his first major road race on North American soil since deciding to come out of retirement.

In any event, we hope you'll join us for the upcoming racing season and beyond.
