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

1) Thousands won't be riding.
2) It's April 21-27 this year.
3) No 'Nooga.

Possible others:

4) Landis didn't win the Tour de France in 2006 -- at least not according to the Tour de France.
5) It is wrong, and absolutely wrong, for any self-respecting American state, an here even a proud Southern state that does not have New Orleans in it, to call their race the Tour "de" something, instead of the Tour "of" something.

Bass Pro Shops To Locate At Village At Riverwalk Site
Officials say the store will employ 250 people and should open by Fall 2009

==================

well... realy I don't have a problem with Bass Pro. I've bought stuff there, kinda like the place in fact. But you're welcome to your opinion.

What's it got to do w TdG?
