I get your point...I do...but I'd have to say that Simpson's death was that point...maybe earlier, but as even Simpson's death predates my existence on the earth, it seems like a good, arbitrary event. Death seems a very clear way of breaking innocence, IMO. I've never harbored illusions...

What age of innocence? This is a sport that has ALWAYS welcomed substance use (and abuse). I honestly think that we're all naval-gazing and being foolish. What monument on Mt. Ventoux is considered sacrosanct? Could it be Simpson's monument? Isn't that monument an honor to someone who died on...

Now that the great move is done, I spent some meaningful time trying the local brews: http://www.placervillebrewing.com/ I can honestly say that there was an odd, non-hop bitterness in EVERY beer that really ruined them all for me. I love supporting local, but those were not worthy of...

That's MY daily driver as well...well, your car and mine would be mistaken for each other at the valet, at least...

+1 That is, perhaps, the BEST and most worthy TRIPLE-entendre I've read in many a year!

True, but given the OBVIOUS implication, I will NOT insult you and suggest you are simply an idiot and your question is delivered naively. You mean the WSJ article furthering the Landis doping controversy? The one that DIRECTLY involves accusations of drug use in the peloton? Hmmmm...sensing a...

Given that this is, at best, an obtuse reference to the Landis scandal, I can't imagine you didn't intend to poison another forum with the scandal. My opinion? His brother likely got it as a bribe and now is trying to convert the bribe into cash. And since a cadre of posters have painted...

In fairness, that is the name that flashed up on the screen and they both almost immediately questioned it. If you're going to choose an embarrassing set of comments, you managed to choose exactly the ONE forgivable exchange of the day.

Dang...was hoping Millar would get it...and Frank didn't impress...

I'm all for Millar or Canc taking it...I'm really conflicted about some of the rest of the final 20...

Live if you don't count that there are 5 minutes of cycling for every 20 minutes of commercials...and that's NOT including Paul and Phil and their bias...

Man, I honestly expected Jens to do better...he sure looked "casual" in some of the footage and I wonder if he was holding back? (granted, his face at the end didn't look casual at all...)

It's on at 1130 Toronto time on OLN (which was re-branded Versus in the US). Until then, you've got the official TdF ticker and a few other sites that are streaming in various languages...check here: http://www.steephill.tv/ Oh, and though I'm SURE I'm wrong, perhaps his nom de guerre is for...

And you wonder why so few participate in the circle jerk that is The Clinic these days...you just couldn't follow forum rules, could you?

So, I've been unemployed for roughly 9 months, though things are decidedly looking up and my bike commute to work might actually begin again! As a celebration for "found" money, I got myself the following this past 24 hours: Lamy Vista fine nib (with converter) and a Waterman blue...
