So Floyd Landis wins the Tour de France in dramatic fashion. Definately one of the best Tours, and comebacks, that I have ever seen...destined to be a classic. 3 Americans, 11 Tour victories, 21 years...wow. It was good to hear that Floyd feels that he has done that which he set out to do during his career. I would hate to see his hip surgery end his career but, it's great to see that it doesn't bother him too much. The guy is a true inspiration for enjoying your life for the now. Truly a champion and I hope to see him come back after his surgery still being competitive at the Pro level.
Nice job Floyd!!!

Interesting questions at work on Sunday.

Q1. "Can I get three bikes in for quick tune-ups today? We're leaving for RAGBRAI."

Q2. "Did that one American guy end up winning that French bicycle ride?"

It's a crazy time of the year I guess and people, not just kids, ask the darndest things. It truly is good entertainment and as long as you bite your tongue, no big deal. Business at the shop should return to "normal" again and we might actually get some bikes assembled for the floor since it is looking a little bear lately.

I had more clothing show up in the mail yesterday to be used at Nationals. Jersey, bibs, socks, and gloves. The gloves were actually a real surprise that makes my hands happy since the gloves that I am was wearing were pretty much toast. They were still comfy yet they were a bit loose due to their overuse. (I sound like a poet although I do know it)
Thanks Evan, you are the man.
