UPDATE : It looks like ABC got rid of the Nightline interviews with Floyd Landis which were on their website upto this afternoon. They suddenly disappeared. We obtained another full copy of the show from Hulu ... I recorded almost 15 minutes of it, but missed out the last 2 minutes of the ending sequence with Betsy Andreu, who came across as a very bold, confident woman not afraid to face the cameras. The whole interview as televised was short, much to my chagrin, in spite of ABC claiming
The Flying Aquarians are in Hood River! ... We passed inspection (bikes, signage, lighting, proof of insurance) and are officially on the roster for tomorrow AM ... The crew is off on a shopping spree for crew food and a few last minute team supplies, Lauren and I are resting up a bit and just plain unwinding ... It's been a very busy week.

When beer:30 caught up with us in Fairfax, we answered the call ... This is what we looked like ... I wonder if they have a Cucuy dark ... Beer needs
Today's mountain top finish involved the climbing of 18.4 km of the western side of Tourmalet (see detailed 3D terrain here ), from Luz-Saint-Sauvier onwards. The Tourmalet is the queen of all climbs in the Tour de France and the roads here are some of the highest in France.

Perhaps it's a surprise that I'm so enthusiastic about this sign, but I've been looking for years for this most elusive of Dutch cycle path signs, and at last I've found one ... Yes, "Fietsers Afstappen" means, literally, "Cyclists Dismount." And it's combined with nasty big metal fences. Remarkable. When I first saw it, I had a strange thought that maybe I'd merely dreamed about emigrating but that I really still lived in the UK ... Actually, I've been aware of it for a few months, but it's
Jos Sluijsmans runs the Dutch website Fietsdiensten.nl and is one of the organizers of the African Bicycle Design Contest, which I mentioned in a past post.
