Staying home with a sick kid. I wrote up a bunch of Nancy Drew themed word problems for her. She thinks it's fun but wait till she figures out it's still just math! Sucker.

So this is from Stage-1 of the TdU, what's going on with the bottom, front of Greipel's jersey? Is this an oddly cut skin-suit?

Basically its a skinsuit that has the same advantages a normal jersey has. You can unzip on climbs but.more importantly on 260k races you can releave yourself easily.

A few of the garmin boys (Tyler was definitely most notable) stopped at a cafe that I was having coffee at that morning after 12hrs of setting up the course overnight.
Myself and a few other crew members said hi and wished them luck before the vultures swept in. I've never seen so many chubby middle-aged men with so little dignity. Tyler and crew handled it like any other day and posed for 30+ pictures while fielding questions about "performance" hybrids and various tomfoolery. Gained a lot of respect for pros as a whole that day.

Nancy gets in her blue convertible to sleuth for clues in Melrose Lake. It is 18 miles from River Heights to Melrose Lake. On the way there she discovers that the bridge has been washed out by the storm. The detour adds 5 miles to the route. If she goes the same way there and back home, how many miles will she have driven?

Hey Caloso, have you done Foxy's Century in Davis??
Wife and I booked out tickets for our fall trip to the Sactown area (friggin aeroplan miles) and we'll be in town for that one...
Fondo rides are not usually our thing due to the sketchiness of riders, but figure it'll be a good way to see the area without needing a tour guide...

Watching the replay of last night's Supercross and it's a beautiful thing the way that one guy rides the track. It will be on again later for the throttle twisters out there.
I think the rain stopped, I should go ride a bike.

I really should try to block it out this year.
