C-40 for sale

Check out this sweet ride. Colnago C-40 in the Mapei colors which made the trek to Austin.

Ray Henry (works with Hammerson) is selling the frame. He's still working on a price but I thought I would put it out there with his details.


It is the Colnago 56 full carbon C-40, 1000 miles in immaculate condition, limited edition (500) commemorative frame celebrating Oscar Ferier’s (sp) world championship with the Mapie and World Championship colors. I will sell the frame, with a new (still in box) Campy or Colnago head set and seat post.

Let me or Hammerson know if you are interested and we can set you up with Ray.

"It's Pantani and Lance......goooohoho"

For those who have seen "The Tour Baby", you know this quote. It's Scott Coady screaming at the top of his lungs for Pantani and Lance as they battled up Ventoux. I have just watched the scene again for the millionth time and it still sends chills down my spine. If you are unmoved after watching this brief sequence, it is time to sell your bike and buy some golf clubs. If you haven't seen it, stop fooling around and get the DVD. www.thetourbaby.com

Hunger

Can you imagine how hungry the Pros must get? I have read that a pro will burn 10,000 calories per day. How can you physically feed that amount of caloric requirement? Since bumping up my pathetic training I get hungry all the time. And we are only talking about 2,000 to 2,500 per day! I bet the Pros get so hungry that they start to digest their own stomachs.

Off season Training

How about a little inspiration? A little off-season training guide.

No Gifts?

News briefs: Qu�bec ruled out for '08 Tour start; Armstrong sues former employee: "Lance Armstrong is suing a former personal assistant who claims the six-time defending Tour de France champion owes him $500,000. "

Pudding anyone?


Nothing like the off season and a good eating binge!

Piercing


I think he was on the Alp d'Huez when LA rode by.

I'll bring the popcorn

From Hammerson. Looks like a pretty good movie.

TH Update........absolutely nothing new!

Since TH is slow to put up new info on his site, I thought it worthy to blog his latest.

Tyler Hamilton: "As of November 25, 2004 I am no longer a member of the Phonak Professional Cycling Team based in Switzerland. "

Pitiful

Rode Monarch today....rather, Monarch rode me. Strong head wind going up, not too cold. So four other riders out. I am sure they were training for the triple.

So I ask you to reply, what did you do to get faster today?

Tax Dollars at Work

As many know, I am thoroughly disgusted with the ineptitude with our local and national leadership. Below is a link to one of the many examples of their failure. I can't think of a logical reason for 21 pages of bike manufacture regulation....on a federal level. Wouldn't the time, energy and money wasted on this crap be better spent providing a flu shot for the very poor? It is time to RISE UP............
