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

Don't think so, but you might be on the right track.

Take the Tour of Tamworth - Divisions 1 to 5, open to U19/U23/Elite/Masters.

I was going to ask about your Kennedy. Is that what he did when he retired from TV? IS you frame worth more, now that he's died?

Do they really have one? Geez, he's only a guy on a bike. Really. I rank children's reconstructive plastic surgeons way above him or any other sports figure.

Maybe I shouldv'e done that in my recent post to the Mechanics section.

Hey, I just saw 'Hell on Wheels' last night. What a cool Doco! It was such a humanist approach with a real emphasis on the relationships between the riders and the team. Pretty cool insight.

Two things I gleaned from it. One, is that Erik Zabel is a nice guy. Two, I wouldn't be a pro racer even if I was a genetic freak. (which I am, but in a bad way). What an insane life.

Me either. But apparently, if you have an amazon.com account, you can use that logon info. Shouldn't be too hard to figure it out. There's a shopping cart on the top right (yellow). Would be a good place to start.

You might also need a DVD player that ignores the stupid zoning system

Correct. Any $80 POS from Crazy Clint's should work fine.
