Bastille Day

Well. A stage is done and I didn't get a chance to watch it today. Ah well. Pretty flat. Too bad Thor couldn't squish that Manx Missile. But hey a Mark, Thor, Tyler, one two three is pretty cool.

I'm looking forward at the summer and the looming week at a conference seems like a good time to have a complete rest week. But leading up to it I've got to step up the intensity some how. I also really want to get back down and break 19 minutes. A huge jump from last week. But if I can make it work this week and then next week, ride a smarter TT, carry a bit more speed through some sections it should be possible. My weight is coming down too. Slowly, slowly. But at this rate I won't be a clydesdale for much longer.

VeloDudes posted on mid-race piece online about the Giro-Donne, but that seems to be about it. Maybe no one clicked on it and Froth said - screw it, too much work trying to keep up with all the TdF reports flooding in. After all, Women's racing is like a little match trying to stand up to a freaking hurricane named Lance.

At least CN got up another Hatch entry. Good read.

I stumbled across a new web log yesterday. Okay I was sent a link asking what I thought. It was a damn fine well written beginning. Maybe when I get around to fixing the sidebar i'll add it in there somewhere. And I gotta do that sometime. Time to pick up a new laptop, not sure what to get, never really bought anything but Dells in the past... would get an apple but on a $400 max budget, that don't look so likely to happen. Ah well. At least the stuff is cheaper now than in the past.

Anyway. Good luck to all those doing the working man's race that kicks off tonight with the TT. This video is for you!


and yeah this one... can't do with Iron Man. Gotta toss in some live War Pigs too.
