Rush was quoting an article in the NYT this morning which said that bike riders caused more polution in their lives because they live longer. LOL but seriously, unless you've riden 100 miles in one day (I've only done 80), you can't say bike racing isn't a challenging sport. Of course, they do wear funny clothes... but so do wrestlers (the real kinds wear sniglits. even the name is funny). My husband calls the TDF, chess on a bike.
I completely bonked, for the first and only time in my life. One of the strangest sensations. You can move, but not with any kind of force, just go through the motions. Weird...
I ride 20 miles most days in good weather, which I guess is not bad at age 54. I can't imagine 100 miles at the speeds they maintain. I remember Lance once said the sport is all about who can endure the most pain.
Ok Ok - I must confess to being TDF illiterate.
I hereby apologize to all hard core bike riders.
Passion is a beautiful thing - and I respect it - where ever it shows up.
Come back Lance!!
