After the Deluge

The ride home started off having to cross 20cm deep fast moving water flowing down the gutter of Hope street. My feet got soaked with that one. Followed by 3 miles of absolutely some of the heaviest rain I've ridden through. Saving grace was that it was only about 65 so I was just one thin layer of lycra soaking up water (and my backpack).

But it stopped and started clearing and then I had to stop and dig out the camera and grabbed this.


Oh and it seems while I was at a school arts night (choral concert and middle/high school art show) twitter exploded and pooped out another doping allegation. Does it seem to anyone else that Lance's lawyer's excuses are getting more insane and ridiculous each time someone else comes out to say they saw him dope?

Goes back to Jerry's child argument (hopefully results boy is happy with me hyper-linking for a change), Lance's camp is starting to really act more and more like the kid G-ride described.

Boom.

Lets see where this goes. What bothers me is that Horner's going to get screwed by this. Timing sucks. I want to believe he is one of those few dudes who has raw talent to get where he is. If Tilford stands by him, that's good enough for me, for now. Besides, he races CX, or has, and always seems to be on the outside looking in, until now. Maybe now he's a leader because he's just as strong as he always has been and everyone else is mostly off the juice. The ToC timing hasn't been good for me to catch much of the racing live. Giro's been interrupted but that's not maybe a bad thing, although it is a pretty amazing race to watch. One of the best. I didn't think I could get excited about a race with Contadork but you know what? It is a pretty cool race. Hell it is Italy. What's not to love, esp with reliable live video with Sean Kelly and Harmon talking, the two best English language cycling commentators. P joked that Sean Kelly is the only one who has answered every question of a radio interview by nodding.

Okay.

I think the fire that Landis started is spreading...

and todays rains are not going to put it out...
