I just read a blog entry on NYtimes.com from Jonathan Vaughters- former pro and current director of Slipstream/Chipotle. He's writing about climbing. Here's a quote that made me chuckle as we approach the HHH. (I know it's not a race, but it's as close as many of us get. He goes on to give some good climbing tips. Read the whole entry here)

"...the most important parts of bicycle races are always uphill. The tactical genius of those who stealthily hide behind the dolt plodding away into the wind up front is lost on hills. Hills put bike racing back into the realm of Darwin and the grunting cave man. The laws of nature rule on the hills, and only the strong will survive."

Ha. See you Saturday!
