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

That's how the Giants approached their playoff game with the Eagles earlier today.

I will still be going, but I had planned to go even before Lance announced his comeback, so I'm not going just because of him. What annoyed me was the fact I had passes to go 'behind the scenes' and have a photo/quick chat with some of the cyclists, watch them warm up, watch the bike check/clean pre/post race etc, but when Lance announced he's riding in the TDU, that priviledge was revoked

Man, that's some serious Trek/Bontrager schwag. But I'm sure it's well under the UCI weight limit.
