    VUELTA- Where to View in USA?

    Your own cycling stories

    ooh cycling stories, might as well break my far-too-long streak of reading without posting :P One of my better cycling stories (well, not as good as the time I broke a tree in half with my head ;) ) was about a year or two back, on a preride of a local road race. It's a cautionary tail of the...

    Despite having to borrow a bike from a friendly fan, Jens still soloed to the finish ahead of the chasing peloton. In fact, he finished so early that only one photographer was there to greet him.
