Greetings, er what day is it? what time?
Sorry for delay, but the day ended quite late with a great race last night, the Vegas cross when Kona's Ryan Trebon put the hurt on everybody in the final laps to take the win ahead of US Cross Champion Tim Johnson (Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com) and Adam Craig (Giant). In the other story, Lance Armstrong riding in a LiveStrong kit raced hard and finished 22nd. Photos later...
Stephanie and I spent the day meeting old friends and making new friends,oh and collecting some autographed posters for the collective. There were less road cyclists signing stuff than previous years. And took a few photos of the shiny stuff ...
you know what to do
It's a big place
Look shiny colorful wheels

I hope this is just a teaser...
as it leaves me at least wanting some more scoops and pics!
Love the pics you have here already though… lol!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
My thoughts exactly
Lyne, I know you’re a pro and all, but seriously… that’s just eye-catching. Surely something so beautiful is made by Campagnolo??

Great cross race last night
but what was up with the jerk in the flowery shirt leaning into the course and trying to make the riders grab a dollar?
Lance still looks fit. There’s this rumour going around the underground that he might be planning to make a comeback to pro racing.
Ha!
Also, someone was waving dollars at the racers? THat’s just weird.

Yup....he was jumping from spot to spot....
…..giving money to the riders who could grab some….which were mostly the riders in the back. Many of those riders laughed when they saw the money, grabbed some, stuffed it in their back pockets and rode on.

We have become the Cycling Borg.
I’m so proud.

Thanks for all the yummy eye candy - keep it coming!
I’d love a pair of those flower power wheels for the single speed I went to get…..
And
say hi to Rahsaan for us.

hey, cool
just noticed looking at the Cross Vegas results that Lance finished just ahead of a local guy, Tim Heemskerk. So I looked up Tim’s blog :
I am just a tad off these guys right now so that is a positive note. Since I had to settle I ended up riding with 6 other guys and one of them was called LANCE ARMSTRONG! He sat in my wheels for 3 laps and next I sat in his wheel for the remainder of the race, another 4 laps or so. Tony Cruz was his guardian and unfortunately I was not able to sprint past these guys for 18th spot (our group)
(love him or not, it’s still probably pretty exciting to ride with Lance in a race when you’re not a top ProTour level rider)
Does that guy
broadcast his thoughts through his skullcap?
