I know what a lot of you will think--boooring, but I've been a big fan of the tour for a long time. (Love Greg LeMond--as long as he doesn't speak and do not like Lance Armstrong) I live for two things, horse racing and the tour and I can spend hours in front of the 'tube watching guys riding their bikes up mountains, or doing time trials, or just riding through some of the most beautiful countryside in Europe. Cycling just don't get no respect in the U.S. and no one encourages kids to go for it because they are too busy trying to break into the big leagues and play hoops, or football or baseball because that is where the money is.

Well, all I have to say to that is this: GET A BIKE AND RIDE IT!
