alphseeker Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Great day for the TDF - History was made today by Daniel Tekelalamksdlndfanajsomething becoming the first African to wear a classification jersey in the TDF. Awesome.http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/bauhaus92/tourracism_3370597b_zpstn1tzy1v.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Nice to see the KoM recipient but tough to watch Martin likely end his tour that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphseeker Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Nice to see the KoM recipient but tough to watch Martin likely end his tour that way.Sad indeed - soon as they showed the crash in slow motion i knew he broke it - He fell right on it. It will be interesting to see if Froome wears the yellow Jersey. It's his choice out of respect for Tony.

Nibali seemed too strong and wouldn't you know it, Astana come under all this scrutiny and this year he sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad but the people most likely to be riding clean are the high profile people who've tested positive previously and are likely under increased scrutiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaskula was fine, but that was in the 1990s. We had some great riders in the '70s, but commies wouldn't let us prove it in races in Western Europe in those days.

I love watching pure climbers like him. He'll definitely take the KOM jersey Froome looks like a chimp when he climbs. He makes me nervous spinning 100rpms. With his body flailing all over the place.

blackhawkrush Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Nice try by Kwiatkowski today. I guess it was too cold for Majka this time. He likes warm weather, so he says. ;) I think he was just tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Today, it was Michal Golas' turn to try and win the stage. Unfortunately, he got caught 4km from the end. Finished 18th... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphseeker Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Froome had urine thrown in his face and a spectator pinched Porte in the face...http://www.bbc.com/s...ycling/33581524Yeah it's pretty pathetic. French fans are pissed all their riders are back to sucking again so they take it out on the Evil Sky Machine. Obviously cameras will be watching closely now and these idiots have to be dealt with. It's bad enough when you have every team colluding to try and beat you down but now you fear for your own safety from the violent crowds. It's probably the same damn hooligans that start all the soccer riots in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g under p Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/bike-lanes-cars-1.3344652 Blocked lanes heat up war between Toronto cyclists and drivers. Bicyclists say city should do better job enforcing no-parking rules in protected bike lanes. I hope they can get this issue resolved...btw, in winter when it snows heavy up there is there much cycling that can done? When I lived in Maryland the winters after a snow fall was one of my favorite times to ride especially if the temps were in the teens. Not too many people on the roads and in coming back home soaking wet from sweating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Still riding a few days a week weather permitting. Got a new ride too. A 2015 kona unit. I have a fully rigid purple unit! And its single speed. Holy mid life crisis! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphseeker Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Wow 9 months hiatus for the cycling thread - I personally had a bad year. Too many personal things going on, like raising my grand children. :oFinal settled down and am riding again, I figured if I don't take care of myself I'll die before I finish raising them. Just made a goal for three centuries next year. Stagecoach in February / Dirty Devil in March and the Mother-lode in April. The Dirty Devil is pretty awesome 127 miles which includes 28 miles of packed dirt roads, i just hope it's not raining. :PSadly I have to shed at least 40 pounds, that's what stress and no exercise do to me .

Ancient Ways Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I watched the tour and enjoyed it but just never got around to posting. Personally, I've had some major health issues and have lost over 50 pounds. My muscles are pretty badly atrophied and I'm not sure I could ride 2 miles right now. Once I'm healthy I'll get back out there but I've got a long ways to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
