Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

My LBS is giving me two jerseys... one for him, one for me (it's who you know I guess). Autographs from our favs. I know mine, but in this year's tour, who's would YOU get?

I found out I can get my local club jersey signed by my race favorite this coming Saturday at Prolog (With the help of a close friend). My LBS owner has offered one in his size and one in mine for the chance to get his favorite's signature.... I'm stoked.

Who's autograph (out of the current contenders at Le Tour) would you get on a jersey of your choice?

Guess I'm boring but I don't think I've ever collected a signature.

I'm not much for autographs, but if Peter Sagan was just standing there, I might try to get him to sign a jersey.

Yes, yes it has. Every day last week I had to look at the digital thermometer reading 119 up to 121. I work near the airport so the jet wash might make it even worse (our building is on the revised approach corridor).

Make sure it's not a permanent marker. You'll want to get rid of it after the B sample test.

I'd just be stoked to have a free jersey.

Don't leave me hanging! I've got pen and paper ready - what's the rest of the math problem?

The rest of the problem I found on the internet... apparently with a 13:00 something start time, you have 4 hours to travel 6km. What is the best route?
