.... Doug O's a local pro riding for Team Healthnet. Let's give his blog (http://www.dougollerenshaw.com/) and motionbased linky (http://ollerend.motionbased.com/) a little traffic. It's fun to follow the race this way; 'specially the maps and stats. Today he was in the break. Frickin' cool stuff.

Ever wonder where our HR's compare to a pro's? Well, here ya go. Go Doug O!!

Thanks, pretty entertaining read.

while I was up front trying to hang onto the break, there was apparently quite a show back in the field that I missed out on. Some squabbling between Popovych of Discovery and Hunter of Phonak led to a full-on fist fight on the side of the road. I think those two might have discovered the missing ingredient to cycling's ultimate commercial success in the US. Riding with mouth gaurds may prove difficult, though.

that's cool, i stood beside his "lady friend" atop the bald. She's easy on the eyes. Lucky SOB!

I love pro cyclist blogs. Sometimes the ones on cyclingnews are pretty good.
