crap. i just lost a REALLY long post. damn. in summary: sailor: good thread. brian1975: pay attention to other races, whether pro, national, or local. [did you know that the world championships were held in hamilton, ontario 2 or 3 years ago? THE WORLD fricking championships!!! talk about compelling.
anyway, i gotta watch the evening's enhanced coverage of today's stage. then hit the hay for tomorrow's 5 hour live coverage!!!!!! of the first real mountain stage.
FIVE HOURS! it really is like riding it yourself, almost. if you get a chance, check cyclingnews.com, any time after 7 am CDT [u.s.] and check out their live coverage. these folks are current or former racers themselves, and they really know their shit.
anyway, loooooooooooove bike racing almost as much as i love women. sometime MORE. the lines on my road bike. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
