Got home late from work last night and only was able to get in a 20 mile ride. This morning after uploading to Garmin Connect, I find that I rode 299.65 miles for June.
If I knew that last night, I would have at least gotten an extra mile in. Oh well, still not bad considering one week was spent in Aurba.

Rode to work in the rain today -- apparently 5 dry days in a row is too much.

Just finished swapping all the components on my new bike...that was a bigger job than I thought it would be.

Wait until my wife discovers that I erased all her "Lifetime Movies" that she DVR'd. I had to erase the recorded shows from the unit in the game room, and a several from the box in the family room, in order to tape the entire race and Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

I have been as well.
Sort of cool to see them without helmets to be honest.
I am not a huge Lance fan but watching him pull away like he did on Alp d'huez in 2001 was crazy good.
Yeah I agree this should be a good one this year.

He looked good...hope he can remain injury free this TDF...I'd really like to see him finish with his head held high.
