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

Bob Roll's new look

Apparently he made some sort of deal with Johan and Lance that if a certain dollar amount was donated, he'd let Johan shave off the bit of hair remaining on top of his head. I guess it happened because at about 9:45 this morning I snapped this pic in Visalia and I think it is Bob. Clean up top and the sides and back too!

He asked Levi how he liked his hair today. Levi said he had some tips for him.

If it was for charity, then good for him.

Shaving of the head seems to be the 2009 ToC trend... here's Zabriskie after getting an up-do (wrong term I know) from Allen Lim:

Shaving your head when you've already lost 2/3rds of your hair is not that dramatic.

It means a lot when you're hanging on to that one last 12 inch long hair for dear life
