WTF??? That would be awesome

This would put the french in a spot of bother!

clipped from www.velonews.com Lance Armstrong will come out of retirement next year to compete in five road races with the Astana team, according to sources familiar with the developing situation. Armstrong, who turns 37 this month, will compete in the Amgen Tour of California, Paris-Nice, the Tour de Georgia, the Dauphiné Libéré and the Tour de France — and will race for neither salary nor bonuses, the sources, who asked to remain anonymous, told VeloNews. Armstrong's manager, Mark Higgins, did not respond to questions. And an Astana spokesman denied the report to The Associated Press. "He is no part of our team," Astana team press officer Philippe Maertens told the AP in an e-mail. "Team Astana has no plans with him." However, sources close to the story have told VeloNews that an exclusive article on the matter will be published in an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, expected later this month. Vanity Fair editors did not respond to requests for comment.

New Technology...cool?

clipped from www.velonews.com Shimano has formally announced plans to release Dura-Ace Di2, a new electronic shifting option for the all-new 7900 series Dura-Ace, in January. Composed of dual control shift/brake levers, front derailleur, rear derailleur, a wiring harness and battery pack, the new Dura-Ace Di2 7970 components integrate with components from the upcoming 7900 series Dura-Ace group, while adding only 68 grams. Electrically actuated shifting eliminates cable friction and contamination. The shifters are now merely switches, which also allows for creative placement of optional remote shifters while reducing the weight and profile of the main shifting units. For example, a rider could place remote switches out on the ends of aero bars as well as on the top of drop bars near the stem. Derailleur movements are computer-controlled and servo motors in both front and rear derailleur create synchronized shifts.

36 are you kidding me....

It would be nice to be a 36 year old billionaire. I got another year, think I can make it. That is a lot of gas in an hour.

clipped from www.azcentral.com Motor Yacht A, its official name, is actually a private yacht built for Andrey Melnichenko, the 36-year-old Russian billionaire industrialist. While Mr. Melnichenko has done his best to keep the boat a secret, A is already making waves in the yachting world and becoming a public symbol of Russian wealth gone wild. While longer than a football field, A barely ranks among the 10 largest private yachts in the world, trailing just behind Octopus, the 416-footer owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. The cost - at least $300 million - is also not a record. Eclipse, the unfinished yacht of fellow Russian Roman Abramovich, is more than 500 feet long and cost at least $100 million more. Mr. Melnichenko's boat, at cruising speed, burns about 691 gallons of diesel fuel per hour.

Bren tearin up his half pipe

Stupid Dopers

clipped from tour-de-france.velonews.com A new drug Riccò, winner of two mountain stages and ninth in the overall standings, provided a urine sample following the stage 4 time trial at Cholet, which contained metabolites of a new substance, CERA (Continuous Erythropoiesis Receptor Activator).

Skunk Boy

Today we were out on a 40 mile training ride. I should have known it was going to be bad. Max and I were both not feeling well, the wind was like 40mph in our face. As we headed down into the abyss(Usery at 5:30am is very dark)we came across this freakin skunk. I stop short, Max swerved out to the left but it was too late, Pepe was under the front wheel, then the back. As soon as it began it was over.

We continued our little journey, we were laughing and joking about Pepe, I said to Max "man, your lucky you did not get sprayed". Max decided to grab a drink, "Dang my water bottle stinks". Yup, He did get sprayed, and yup he did stink. As soon as he said that I was behind him and could seriously smell the stench. Max is a dedicated, we had 20 or so miles left in our ride and he finished it out. Way to go skunk boy!
