WHOA Landis

I don’t know how you feel about the doping allegations against Floyd Landis, but check out the drama that went on in the hearing today! It’s a bit complicated, so I’ll try to simplify.

1. Landis is having his hearing
2. Greg Lamond, former Tour champ, was to testify
3. Landis’ manager called and threatened Lamond before the hearing by telling him he’d expose the fact that Lamond was sexually abused as a child
4. He told him he’d better not testify
5. Then when Landis’ team found out, in true Donald Trump style, Landis’ lawyer walked over to Landis’ manager in the middle of the hearing and said “You’re fired”

And all of this on National Bike to Work Day. For shame!!!

Our New “Do”

You know how sometimes you need a haircut, and you just let it grow and grow and finally you say, “enough”! Well the homepage kept getting more and more stuff on it and it was time for a haircut. We kept the same basic style, but here’s an overview of the new “do”.

• Shrunk the hiking image down and added a “join” button at the top to make it easier for new members to see how to join us.
• Took the newest members images and made them larger and rotated them to a horizontal configuration. The members are the most important thing here anyway
• Listing only the top two trip reports and enlarged the pics on those
• Added a section for the newest Outdoorzy Businesses at the bottom
• Included the latest three blog headlines in the upper right-hand corner
• Added RSS to the Gear Reveiws, Gear Lists, and latest Members… Now you can click that button and you will easily see when a new member, trip report, or gear item shows up on the site!

And that’s it. Hopefully it doesn’t confuse you when you show up to find the latest Outdoorzy goodies. Let us know what you think. And as always, keep the suggestions coming in, we love to hear them and consider every one. Have a great weekend!

And thanks Lynn for working so hard on this.
