So I almost finished the Tour of Payne on the 5th...My riding partner's bike went down...without him on it luckily! We were 24 miles into a leisurely 36 mile route. But I waited out the SAG vehicle with him since he was having such a bad day. (The bike wasn't the only thing that broke down....the whole day was just a big mess...and quite laughable in retrospect but I won't be sharing that part of the story.)The remainder of our group had ridden on together and we saw they were still sticking together as we finished the route in a red Chevy. I was glad.
I got the Versus channel ordered up for the month of July especially for watching the Tour de France. I set the DVR to record today's stage (Stage 3)..the cobblestone stretch they call "the Hell in North" during the Paris Roubaix....not a normal route for the Tour. So it should be interesting. I love the history behind the roads...but I feel for the guys having to go over those stones.
I have lots of favorite riders...but Fabian Cancellara was my man last year and I'm sticking with him again this year.........Go Fabulous!
