Not bad for a middle aged menopausal gal.

Ohyeah they do. That's why he's only been in four races this year. That's why this is his last race. To be with his kids.
You all know how I feel about Sheryl Crow and her karma crap. But if she was any kind of woman, she would let her boyfriend enjoy the spotlight, and just be seen, not heard. I highly doubt Lance would give a play by play of a Sheryl concert.
How about her leaving him because of his bike? She knew what he was and what he did for a living before she married him. She couldn't handle it and she left him. Do you think of her poorly?
Armstrong recently described the Tour as a combination of a marathon, chess and NASCAR. It is very strategic in terms of setting up riders. But at the end of the day, they must perform at the right time. No where to hide in the individual time trials. No where to hide in the final stretches of the mountain stages. That is where Armstrong excels and where is consistently wins the Tours. This year he might have won it in Stage 1 when he destroyed the field (save Dave Zabriskie) by almost a minute in a mere 20 minute time trial. No "blockers" no "conspiring" just pure athletic dominance. The key moments in every tour are the one-on-one's and Lance is the best in the world when it comes to those moments.

Sheryl Crow is an ugly, publicity-hungry idiot.
I've never seen past armstrong's treatment of his wife: She supported him on his rise to success and during his cancer. He then took the rewards for his success and left her.
THAT's not a real man.
Why on Earth does anyone give a flyin'....Never mind.
You do not know what you are talking about.
So tiresome.
What did you think of the promo Sheryl Crow did for NASCAR?
Sheesh. I dumped tv eight years ago, left the radio a few months ago, and dumped all internet news a little over a month ago (it's easy with gmail). I checked my old hotmail account and noticed a headline about the tour.
Here I am doing my 15th Seattle to Portland bike ride tomorrow and I didn't even know the tour was going on.
DOH!!!
Actually, life has been much, MUCH better.
I'm off and back to ignorant bliss. Everyone have a nice day and if something terrible happens that doesn't directly effect me, don't tell me. Meanwhile, I'll keep my powder dry for when it is time to take up arms.
Keep me posted for that.
Well, I've never tried my hand at racing, but at one time I rode my bike to work and back every day. (12 miles round trip is all it was) Ugh. I don't really know what a five degree slope looks like, but I know that there were a couple of hills on my route that were pretty steep. It took me a couple of months (this with doing some pretty intense PT every day, too) to get to the top without stopping or slowing significantly. Plus, I would practice riding around different areas on the island where there were LOTS of steep hills. Still took forever to figure it out. :)
The thought of climbing the Alps on a RACING bike (and not a mountain bike) makes me shudder! :)
Go Lance!
Take a nap.
Sheesh. For the hundredth time, Armstrong did not meet his wife until post-cancer.
Enjoy the ride.
I'm doing my 10th Michigan MS150 tour next weekend. 200 miles over two days.
SHAMELSS PLUG-I'm raising money for the Michigan Multiple Sclerosis Society. If any Freepers would like to support my ride, Freepmail me.
I should try to make a FR decal for my helmet. Last year I had Bush/Cheney '04 sticker on it. Got a couple of positive comments.
shamelss = shameless
Americans have a short attention span for sure.
