2005 Giro d’Italia, Stage 19

This might be the best I find tonight. Last 8k and Côte de Saint Nicolas. Boom goes the dynamite.
Sunday is a fun day
I did a little of this to start the day off proper: I caught the last 40k (the part that really matters) of LBL on streaming video as the kids got silly on candy. Baller. Motivated for sure.

What’s Snake been up to?
Yeah, inquiring minds want to know. Or, something. He gets up and starts riding. He’s what they call a “mile-eater.” You ride behind that fucking thing for a few hours a few times a week. You’ll be a man of iron. Just like Snake. Then he goes home, showers up, eats lunch, and throws some Read the full article…
