le tour...

This morning I have a whole new excuse for not posting in the last few days, Le Tour de France. It is true that, for the third year in a row, the previous winner is not riding and many of the big names of cycling have been taken down by doping allegations or signing contracts with teams that have been banned by the race officials. It is also true that cycling, even in America, is all about selling shit. Despite those two things I'm amazed at what these athletes can do over three weeks (more than 2000 miles).

My only prediction is that the new American team, Team Columbia, will surprise some folks and do quite well.
