TdF - Stage 2

What a nasty crash at the end of Stage 2! CANCELLARA and RODRIGUEZ both appeared to be injured as they crawled across the finish line. Hopefully it's nothing serious. It looks like most of the sprinters made it through. That means the climbers and their domestics were involved in the crash. Let's hope none of the GC guys were seriously injured.

Even though most of my Fantasy Team were involved in the crash, I was still able to move up one notch - #312 out of 2616.

First Day of First Grade

Elise hopped the bus today for her first day of First Grade. We're all very excited for her!

TdF - Stage 1

Robbie McEwen pulled out another unbelievable career sprint. 10 miles before the finish, he was 150+ riders back after a crash a few K earlier. Out of nowhere he sprinted to the finish line ahead of everyone else. He's amazing. That's why I chose him on my Fantasy Cycling Team.

Now I'm #313 out of 2616 teams!

TdF - Prologue

The World Time Trial Champion showed exactly how he earned that title! He blew away 188 of the world fastest cyclists today in the 4.9 mile 2007 Tour de France Prologue. He completed the ride in 8:50, which puts him averaging 33+ mph...unbelievable.

He was my first pick on my Fantasy Cycling Team and earned me 55 points. That puts me 428 out of 2616 teams.

TdF - Fanasy Cycling Team

I received some mail today from Performance Bikes advertising their free Fancy Cycling Team. I spent some time this afternoon setting up my own team. We'll see how I do.
