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

Dave Zabriskie:



Skin suit, 1080's and shoecovers...

in a freaking Paris-Tours, a road race.

If DZ were using an AR instead of an F1, he wouldn't even have to pedal.

No 'stache either.

^ Nice, but I was thinking more in the stem, like with a window in the tubing to see it through.

It's never mass start when DJ races. He's like the Chuck Norris of Cat4 racing - people see his name on the confirmed riders list and just quit before they even start.

Ergo, every race is an ITT for him.

That lamp is more than awesome. It makes for great lighting at night in my room (which is MUCH cleaner than that picture )

He's a Cat 3. I beat his tunnel number, which was good because his wattage is like staring into the sun for most mortals
