I'm down to do some mountain biking, down for road riding too as long as you don't call me a jersey boy and hurt my feelings

This guy obviously missed his cyclocross move. I must have rewound that like 10 times saying there is no way that they just did that. Regardless of weather bicycle racing is hard and what skills it requires, these people are incredible sportsman. The handshake before the 1km sprint from those two guys in the breakaway, Jan and Tyler telling the field to wait after Lance went down. You don't see that shit in american sports, you just see overpaid overrated assholes make bigger assholes of themselves, and we pay to see it. No thanks.

Congrats to Lance. Many people were doubting him before the tour and he came through even with the family problems. He is a true champion. Tyler kicks ass, I can't wait for the IMAX movie. I drop coils on Oregon idiot from great heights. I've played competitavely in a lot of different sports. I played at a pretty high level in soccer and I played college football. I'm at the absolute shit bottom level of bike racing right now and I have to say that it is the hardest damned thing I have ever done.

I think Hincapie is actually 6'3" and 185. Don't know about Cipo but there is a Specialized ad in VeloNews from a couple months ago that shows his legs and they are absolutely gigantic. Remember these guys have virtually no body fat. I heard something really interesting last night. Aparently IMAX is making a movie about the Tour da France starring Tyler Hamilton. The theme, which was choosen before the tour started, is human suffering and how the world class athletes are able to endure such stresses. More about it here. http://www.csc.com/features/2003/31.shtml

You gotta realize that these guys are at the skinniest they will be all year. Tyler isn't a very big guy. But look at someone like George Hincapie or Cipo, those guys are huge. Lance gets down to his tour weight for only two weeks of the year, something like a 3% bodyfat. On some of these long stages they loose like 7 pounds of water alone. That picture in the other thead did make Tyler look pretty bad.

I've lost my big toe nail many times, in fact I'm in the process of loosing at least one right now. How I remember they grow back is where the nail was that is soft skin becomes a thin nail. Then you get a bulge at the cuticle which starts pressing forward how a nail normally grows. I don't remember it being all that painful though. Is the problem that the front of your toe has a lot of skin sticking up and the nail is growing into that instead of over it?

I think it is the mascot or whatever for the bank Credit Lyonnais which is one of the big sponsors. Coincidentally here is the mascot for the bank Credit Mayonnaise. Mayo popsickle anyone? Trask?

but Cougs swallow!

I'm not sure where I would put it in my Condo- I was thinking more like an old Kayack or Roadbike or something... What you are giving up your weapons to become one of those cycling pussies?

When I was a freshman I was going to work in the gear room, but after dealing with whom I am assuming was Sandi I said fuck it. She wanted every form of ID available, most of which I didn't have or not worth getting for a $5/hour job, went some like "License....Registration....Urine Sample." Anyone know when the new section of the IMA opens and the new indoor wall?

Get one that has the standard nalgene lid, which I think the CamelBaks do, because they screw into MSR pumps if that's your thing. There are some that fold at the top which is nice for cleaning but I think would be prone to leaking. I like the CamelBak bite valve, it doesn't leak at all unless your roommates cat decides to chew on it, but they could have changed the design of them since I got mine. Look around on the internet, especially some of the bike sites, they always have them cheap. Send me a PM if you want a list to look at. Also unless you really like cleaning stuff never put sports drink in it.

LOLOLOLOL I've had the calipers done by a professional and by a novice as well as the resistance method. The skill of the person using the calipers is pretty key, and the more points they take the more accurate. The resistance method has obvious problems but if you did it twice daily and then graphed your results you would get a mean value and a see a trendline if you were actually lowering your body fat.

STICK WITH THE PC SUPPORT DUR!

I drop coils on your mom's head from great heights. That's funny, because Trask just told me that your girlfriend is into that too, Jon. Yes sometimes we do give Trask's mom the one two punch. Nice try Greg

Trask has feelings too??????? 8==D - - -

Nah Wayne I created it to screw with Trask. Yeah I should have probably left it up a little longer. My bad.

Agreed Figger8, this has been really exciting to watch. This will be the hardest for Lance for sure. Lucky for him some big names are either hurting or out all together. Going off course at the speed he was at WAS a serious disadvantage. He was lucky he didn't crash in his descent, I guess the mountain bike racing paid off. There was no way he could have stopped at that speed I think, but what do I know. Clown on Beloki all you want, he is one of the best athletes in the world, as are most of the guys in the tour.

From VeloNews Tyler would ride with a broken femur you Eurobeyotch!

What, you need support for macs? Thanks for the link though

I gave him the solution to his problem, I think you are the one mistaken, so EA8=D

In Windows 2k right click on My Computer and go to Manage. Go to the services option in the lefthand pane and open that. Scroll down until you find the Messenger service and open it. Choose the disable option.

Last night I dreamt I was at a baseball game, and there was a bunch of horsecock running around on the field. Then some player hits one of the HCs over the head (does horsecock have a head?) and it fell down. It was really funny.

I gathered that from not reading the article.

The French have to make up for the fact that they suck at their most beloved sport.
