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

So the RadioShack guys won't be back? That kinda sucks for the general population.

I'm pretty sure we've got NO celebs...we also have an issue where the NYC ride is usually around the same time as ours, which makes it harder to get people. Plus, no one wants to give up their Hampton's time...
Nope, after they were done riding they ate, changed, then headed to the airport so Levi Leipheimer could fly to Europe and Chris Horner had to go back to California

Group ride. Aero bar. Pshaw.

Brutal 37 miles for me today. While I was out riding it I thought for sure this was gonna rival one of LCs Almost Heaven rides climbing wise, but nope. A measly 1000' over 37 miles.
