Indy Fab rider and all-around nice guy Harlan Price preps his bike for Stage 4 of the 2006 Tour de Burg in Harrisonburg, Va., this morning. After four days of racing, Harlan was running second in the GC (he's also leading the National MTB Ultra Endurance Series after winning the Mohican 100 and placing second at the Lumberjack 100). Let's hope he checked his tires for cuts and nicks because during Stage 2 he suffered a debilitating flat while the peloton raced to put time between themselves and him. Harlan fought hard during Stage 3 but still was unable to regain the yellow jersey. Will he take it back after today's battle?

Back here in Ohio we've lost a good friend. Kaleb McCutcheon died last evening, after a year-and-a-half long battle with cancer. We miss you, buddy.
