There was a rumor that his agent was /had talked to Landbouw Credit to do both when his contract expired. But never heard anymore about that. Hoek.

Heck I'd go just for the beer and frites as long as it's Stella Artois and they have mayo to put on the frites LOL.

Maybe to you he speaks perfect Dutch. I was born and raised in Haarlem, the socalled cradle of perfect Dutch (decided by whomever decides that) and I love to listen to him because of his "Flemish twist" on the Dutch language. They also speak Dutch in Limburg, can't understand a word they are...

I would like to see Oscar do it one more time.

I had dealt with BikeNashbar for probably 15 years prior to that and never had a problem. The first time there was just a question as I had used the card elswhere. The second time it was a clear Visacard used for that purchase only. To make sure, I did an other transaction using a MasterCard and...

I used to do a lot of the grocery shopping for my Mom when I was a kid and baskets were for old people (!), so any pockets and the front of my jacket were usually loaded on trips like that.

I wear a pair of Roubaix tights over a pair of longjohns with a larger size shorts overtop. My socks are worn over the longjohns, thus under the tights. If needed, I wear a pair of boothies over my mountainbike shoes (no vents). On top a body armor turtleneck, riding jersey (for the pockets), a...

And according to Daughter in Charlotte, NC same there. 100*F+ for the last 3 weeks here in Yamato, Japan and same in homebase London, Ontario, Canada. Report from my sister in Holland it finally cooled down a bit, but they also had the 30s when the Tour was doing Northern France @ 30+. I...
