Is it just me that thinks it looks rather silly when their legs are spinning and they're hardly going faster (if at all) than the walking spectators??

Got some strength and stamina though, those guys - those hills looked like real killers!!!

"The 100-mile race ranges from 10,200 feet elevation to 12,600 feet."

I think they can be forgiven for walking a few yards!

That was a pretty good watch, thanks!

I enjoyed the video and it shows that, even out of training, Armstrong is still a force to reckon with on a bike. However I see he still ues those horrible (to me) black socks inside his cycling shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Globalti]

Yes, it would have been interesting to have seen the same race a couple of recovery weeks after Armstrong's last Tour...

The final scene where he inarticulately failed to absolve himself was a little sad, I thought.

Great Link Rigid. really enjoyed that.

Nice Livestrong gear being flexed by Lance....picked some of that up when I was in NYC at New Year. I'm a sucker for anything Lance is involved with!!!

Say no more! Nudge nudge . . . !

I'm just a fan, though!

I remember Dave Wiens & Susan De-Mattei from when I used to MTB...god they where good days...i'll have to sort myself out with a MTB again - a Hardtail i think there called now but with no front suspention I reckon they're too heavy - 3lbs for for not much use.

Big tyres will do me.

Fellow 'old' friends are of teh same thoughts though if you were hitting big time mountains, regualre then they'll payoff

The thing is because so many have full suspension the trails have evolved with them. Even with 100mm travel up front I ave to take the chicken run sometimes!

 

[yenrod]

Maybe im too much old school Ivan !

 

[Globalti]

What is this suspension you write about?
