AaronG Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I know that there are a few cyclists here, anyone else tuned into the tour?? I don't have Versus' but I did find a website that has the Tour live. It doesn't have the narration of Phil and Paul but it will suffice to get my daily Tour fix!! I am anxious to see what Lance does in the mtns. this year!! JK!! I will be tuned into what the man from down under, Cadel Evans can do this year. He has bettered his performances with each Tour he has been in. http://www.justin.tv/giac2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin A. Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I watched it last night, and set the DVR to record stage 3. I'll likely do the same tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Wow, stage three today! That breakaway actually worked! Did anyone else see where a bike appeared to have yardsaled after an accident? I think it was when Gomez fell. I'm surprised Alejandro dropped the yellow though, bummer. Volvo- how can you watch it without Phil and Paul?

Justin A. Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 What an uneventful finish today :(. I was expecting SOME kind of drama with that nasty turn 300m from the finish and the rain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Pushee Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Watched every stage so far - today a rest day. Amazing how close the standings are after 10 stages. What is it, 10 within 2 and a half minutes? Watching the tour was probably why I overdid my bike ride on Friday - I think I found my limit. I knew the route I had picked would be about 60 miles - which I've done before. What I hadn't factored in was the climbing. As I reached the top of the main climb (7 miles and about 1800 feet of climbing) at the midpoint of the loop I knew the home climb (about a mile and 350 feet) was going to hurt. By the time I got home I was totally spent and hurting. I know that most of those guys on the tour are about half my age, but they are riding twice as far, climbing 3 times as high and at least twice as fast, and doing it every day for weeks. When they do have a rest day, I think they still go out for a ride to stay loose. Incredible! - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatha Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Remember, their job is riding a bike for 6-8 hours a day Put us on a bike with somebody else paying the bills and I think we'd do a fair job in the tour. I got a metric century this Sunday. Katy Flatlands.....I think the title says it all. I really haven't trained for it, but I'll survive. That's the beauty of being 40-something.

That's the beauty of being 40-something. Your mental endurance is boundless My riding mantra for the weaker souls failing around me at the end of a ride "Beer is near" I did one of these on my skateboard last month...not a planned skate just a route I wanted to try...mostly rolling terrain, it wasn't to brutal but when I reached my turnaround point I was regretting making it an out and back instead of a loop or point to point, and my feet were killing me for 2 days. Mental endurance and the thought of a cold beer in a hot tub were what I was dreaming about over the last 10K As for this years Tour I am imressed with the route this year and how much it's made the race fun to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Geez Gecko! What deck/trucks/wheels was that with?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Geez Gecko!What deck/trucks/wheels was that with?! Earthwing Supercharger, Tracker Fastracks, and Fishballs (lime green version of Pink Powerballs) it took me about 4 hours of skating, nearly 5.5 hours of time since I stopped to eat in Wakefield after a cold dip at Narragansett beach total was 56 miles. I skate 20 miles home from work once a week so this was just a longer version of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
