Hey guys, if you aren't watching right now, turn it on. It's getting good!:D
I'm kind of at work dude. (but Velonews has live updates, shhhhh)
I did work at a place where the TDF was on a TV during the day, that was cool.

DG is whipping the field on L.A.'s time trial bike? Guess I'll have to watch the re-run tonight.

Just watch it tonight when you get home. Or check out the live text coverage at velonews (http://www.velonews.com/live/). A very exciting race from the rainy, foggy start in Sausalito as they crossed the Golden Gate bridge to the rain and debris covered climbs along the Pacific Coast Hwy to the explosive tactical moves on the final climb of Bonny Doon to the scarily fast descent to the finish in Santa Cruz. What a great race!
Great race so far and think Armstrong is doing great. To bad the weather is so bad.

Memorable scenic (though very wet) start for Stage 2 as the peloton crossed the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco, and a great finish beachside in Santa Cruz. No offense, but I am glad I didn't pay $500 to ride across the bridge behind Lance & Co. The race must have gone right past SKT's house in Pacifica! I thought the commentators did a good job of keeping viewers' interest when the video feed from the race course was temporarily unavailable due to the weather.

In a way, though, I think the awful weather makes it a more interesting race.

Brought back memories of when one of my kids were racing motocross, but cleaner:thumb:

It looks like they will work. They look like I'll have enough room for my hands anyway.
Oh, I know it's a heck of a way to lose weight, but you look pretty good.:thumb:
