Just in general SoCal ladies (tho probably cosmetically re-arranged) around the area were quite appealing to a young single fella on holidays..

yeah, and cars versus walking...
Del Amo Mall (the one in the movie Jackie Brown) is so massive it spans across major roads. Of course, we had to try and negotiate the traffic with no cross walks and no respect from cars to get from one place to the other while everyone else drove between the buildings. Something about the US, there are no multi-level malls, they all span half a friggin suburb.

Years ago in Anaheim I walked from the hotel I was staying in to a nearby golf store, getting stares from passing drivers whilst wondering why there were no footpaths in such a busy area.
Then two years ago taking life in hand crossing a road from my hotel to get to the second largest mall in the US (King of Prussia Mall in PA) while traffic whizzed by exiting from the freeway. I have never seen such a large carpark. I'm surprised there wasn't a shuttle system to get from the carpark to the mall.
That last trip I saw the biggest collection of FAT Americans I have ever seen. This was at a Mennonite/Quaker buffet restaurant out in the sticks. The place could hold hundreds of punters with at least two massive matching serving areas. I kid you not, the average weight there would have been over 120kg.

I should get some more articles published folks.
Remember, Crikey is not written for cycling folks, but for business, media and politics readers...
my first article was a little bastardised...
yeah, and the final news re: Astana... well I updated it about 5 times for news edits in the last week, and then it went through like that.

Tour de France, year one AL
by Lance Legstrong, Crikey cycling correspondent
Tour de France July 1, 4 days to go.
Seven time consecutive winner Lance Armstrong has retired. The 2006 tour is also known as year one AL, that is, first year after Lance. Who will ascend to his throne and what does the race have in store for those mesmerised by the peloton snaking through French countryside, a sporting amoeba traversing traffic islands, bridges and chateaus.
This year’s favourite is an Italian mummy’s boy in a sport of alpha males, Ivan Basso, winner of the Giro d’Italia, and second to Armstrong at last year’s tour. A family man, he is the antithesis of the brash American, but one thing in common is his will, ambition, and physical capacity to win the tour.
There is only a single threat, and unlike Armstrong, he is human and his flaws are exposed. The German Jan Ullrich is the prodigal son of modern cycling and is touted as the most talented of his generation in terms of physiology, but mentally he is not out to win at all cost. It seems he rides to live, whereas Basso lives to ride. In 1997 he won the tour at the young age of 23 yet has not repeated the feat since, albeit achieving second five times. At 13 he left his single parent home to toil within the East German sporting school system. He is only 32, but this will be his 21st year cycling as an occupation. Professional road cycling is most arduous, and though past his prime, der Kaiser remains a favourite to win.
The major difference in these two protagonists who will contest the yellow jersey is their physical stature. Basso is a lightweight mountain climber whilst Ullrich is a sturdily built timetrialist, a master against the clock. This year’s route is long on timetrials compared to the mountain passes, relative to past tour composition. Speculation exists that the race organiser orchestrated an Eden Gardens turning wicket for the sentimental favorite and a fascinating denouement.
Second tier favourite and future Kazakh oligarch, Alexandre Vinokourov, a downsized clone of Rocky IV’s Ivan Drago, has had his chances quashed by his team’s exclusion for their part in a doping affair.
The remaining position on the podium could come from the united nations, Australian Cadel Evans, affectionately known as “the lung”; Harley riding American Floyd Landis aka the world’s fastest Mennonite; and the Spanish wunderkind Alejandro Valverde.
Bon chance!

Well done thunder. Both good reads.
Are you a regular contributor to crikey? I heard former Mr. Crikey, Stephen Maine, on RRR (this morning I think) talking about his latest attempt to step up into politics.

Thing is, it will all be edited a little, like what was published, it differs from my above quotation. That is what I meant by bastardised, grammar a little incorrect also. (just like this post)
the dailypeloton article was a quickie, not well written but a favour, insofar as got it off quickly for the DP editor.

That is terrible. Not for the girl, for you. Your employer needs to have a cardboard cut out of the female form at the front door for new employees. If they don't fit through, no job.

I had planned on going, but after spending an evening doing stuff on the track bike I ended up canning the idea of a morning ride just as I was about to put the bike rack on the back of the car.

rocked up about quarter to, but the bag of chips was opened for the flock of seagulls after 7. I was a shameless hussy and trampled small children for swag.
And that's top news that Vinny gets to race. Would've been horrible seeing him forced to sit on the sidelines.

Wish I had've gone now!!!
So'd SBS have their cameras out for a promo, or was it just a chance to clutter up the streets with more mobile chicanes dressed as advertising?
