Leadville 100 MTB race

Link HERE to a cool video on superhumanmag.org of the 2008 Leadville 100 duel between Wiens and Armstrong. I can't believe they rode powerline, that hill is a beast.

More sadistic fun

Tour ITT

I was pretty happy to see Sastre defend his yellow jersey against Evans in the ITT on Sat. He and CSC/Saxo Bank made a race of it and I would have been disappointed to see that not pan out for them. Obviously, they were the strongest team in the tour. Evans never really impressed me, but the Schleck boys sure did. It was awesome to see Frank in yellow. His TT was sorta flat though, but not quite as bad as his boss, Bjarne Riis, pulled in 1997. Enjoy his tour meltdown below.

What the hell is Michael Douglas doing on the podium?

Pretty well sums it up. . .

This is what I'm talkin' about. . .

Now if the pros can ride around the countryside of Italy passing plates of pastries around, why can't we.  So often we push ourselves to suffer on the bike, but judging from a candid photo like this, a little more fun is in order.  Or, at least some better food!  

Anybody up for a pastry ride, let me know.
