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

I know it's an acronym that's been everywhere and all over the net for a while, but PC made it a household word around here.

Stuey got it from someone else, too...some aussie TV character...can't remember the name. But O'Grady needs to stand in line as well.

I'm pretty sure it was STFU. One rider mouthed it to another, or maybe the camera guy. Any way, the annoucers repeated it, via lipreading I guess.

No it was one of the commentators talking about the cold and rain. I'm working so I couldn't catch it all, but it was "H.T.F.U." Because guys are dropping out left and right.
