Vive le tour!
I rode, I ate, and then I rode some more
Stupid is as stupid does. Or, something anyway. Ya’ll know the drill, get up and get at it. Nothing feels quite as right as the morning sun coming up as you eat miles. Nothing in this life comes easy. Well, nothing worth doing anyway. Being a father is work, being a husband is work, being Read the full article…
The bike, she will wait for you.
Oh, you had better believe it buddy. The last three years have been nothing short of hell. So glad that it’s over. A few years back I figured out trying to ship a bike back and forth across the country was a giant sized pain in the ass. And don’t get me started with dragging Read the full article…
He gave it everything.
I was very impressed this morning. Cadel Evans is a worthy winner of the 2011 Tour de France. He earned this. Andy Schleck left nothing on the road. He attacked with panache, he rode for the win, and he did all that he could. “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who Read the full article…
Voekler
I snapped this photo of the live coverage playing on my television this morning (and shared via twitter). Maybe not the best photograph of the day’s action, but my god, I was coming out of my skin! At one kilometer to go, he had just about lost the jersey to Schleck. He turned himself inside Read the full article…
Check the Schlecktacles
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, now you too can be outfitted with a pair of genuine Schlecktacles. Perfect for the cyclist who spends 90% of his time looking at what’s going on behind him.

Yes, you too can save yourself from the neck strain incurred when constantly turning yourself half-way Read the full article…

Evans gives it some stick
Today was pretty interesting. Evan’s showed that he really is the man to watch this year. Contrador showed he’s not one to just sit there and take it. The Schlecky twins, well, they showed that a great team and gobs of help can’t make up for a lack of form. Andy S. just ain’t got Read the full article…

Voeckler holds yellow
One more day again, eh Tommy? Survived the Pyrenees. Just like you did in 2004. You never fail to impress. Image source: http://www.daylife.com/photo/0eqK9qQ9z2eRO. Full write up here: http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/07/news/jelle-vandendert-wins-stage-14-of-the-2011-tour-de-france-as-thomas-voeckler-defends-yellow-jersey_184309. I’m not quite ready to call him a potential Tour winner. He will need a substantially stronger team around him to achieve that goal, even if the Read the full article…

Jeremy Roy felt the sky fall upon him
I am using the promise of the internet as a carrot. Write a few more essays, review a bit more, answer a few more multiple choice question. Then you may surf. For five minutes. This one. Damn, I felt for that kid. So close. So damn close. He took the climber’s jersey. I don’t think Read the full article…
