To those that have already asked, yes I will be running the TdF Pool again this year. It’s the real reason I brought the blog back. Question: With Contador now leading the Giro with the Tour let Astana start after all? Knowing the French, I bet “no”.

I understand that I am to believe that the price of gas has gone up due to global demand. If this is the case then why can I buy as much gas as I want on just about any street corner in America? Isn’t it more likley that gas is $4 per gallon because people will pay that price without any significant change in consumption behavior? If you had a product that you could sell a quantity of 100 for $2 or a quantity of 95 for $4 what would you sell it for? Gas is the price it is because the oil and gas industry knows that you will pay it.

Ever wanted to be a pro bike racer? Too bad you suck at bike racing!
Why not try the next best thing? Invite a professional bike racer to stay in your house during the Nature Valley Grand Prix!
When they are not taking 45 minute showers, eating all the food in your refrigerator and having sex with your daughter they will absolutely take 4 or 5 minutes out of their Wii or PS2 time to regale you with stories all about getting dropped on the Manayunk Wall or the time they took a dump in a cycling cap and then gave it to a young fan. It’s all so awesome!
Actually, these bike pros are really nice guys and I have 8 of them coming into town for the race next month. I really really really need help with a place for them to stay. If you have any room, even if it’s just for one or two guys please send me an e-mail. I would greatly appreciate your help and I will even make it worth your while with some schwaggity-schwag-schwag.
The Paris-based International Energy Agency is in the middle of its first attempt to comprehensively assess the condition of the world’s top 400 oil fields. Its findings won’t be released until November, but the bottom line is already clear: Future crude supplies could be far tighter than previously thought.
I don’t think that I will race this track this week. I have not been riding much at all and I don’t need to pay the money and expend the energy to go get my ass handed to me.
I’m in a "not riding" mentality right now. No one can get me out of it. I need to get myself out of it.
