Monday dump

Since most folks have the day off for one reason, or another, here's a bunch o' stuff...

2013 TdU opening crit...final kilometers...



Lotto shows how it's done.  OPQS should watch this clip, and take notes, if they plan on leading out Cav.  Favorite part?  Lotto is going so fast, they gapped the field!  And Hendy rolled across 3rd...after leading out Griepel!

Last lap @ Hoogerheide CX...the weather looked great...



Wonder what pressures these guys were riding?  Betting they were LOOOOOOW!

 Sure, everyone knows who this guy is...but he didn't invent riding a wheelie...

 Know this guy?  No...then you aren't allowed to say back in the day!

 I heard Liz Hatch is coming back to the women's peloton.  Meh...!  I'll take Rochelle Gilmore over Liz "my talent is in my jersey" Hatch, any day!

 Did someone say lo-pro?  Naked Cycles new TT rig...pretty sexy...if you're into hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind bicycles...

And whoever the hipster is that bastardized this Art Decor Colnago should be beaten about the head and neck with their own U-Lock!  This offends 99.7% of the fiber in my being!

Good rides this weekend!  Nice weather, good company, and a tailwind home on Sunday.  Hard to complain about that! 
Last week was also my first double digit (hours) riding week since getting whatever illness my children infected me with back in December.  Felt sort of good.  The riding...not the sickness!  That part sucked!!

 Uh...the river is up...

 One of the nicest roads in Calhoun County...and no, I'm not telling you how to get there...

Just rolling along on a perfect Sunday.

 Such terrible vistas out there.  Fort Jackson is so much prettier...!  This was right before the tailwind went to good use.  We had joy, we had fun, we had a tailwind in the sun! 

Hope everyone got some riding in, and enjoyed their weekend.  Remember, you could be living in Minneapolis!  (BTW- the high there today is forecat to be -5 F.  No, that isn't a typo!)  Now go outside and play!

Time to get the day going...
