Hi all,
Well i finally made it home from an amazing TDU. Sorry i was slack on getting on here but there was drinking, cycling and meeting riders to do. Also my computer was playing up.
Well i thought you all might like a quick look at some of my photos from the TDU. I have over two hundred but i'll just put a few up.
Firstly, i'll tell you about a few of the highlights.
#1 Having dinner with Team Columbia at the After Party at the Hilton, ZoeRochelle, George was sitting right across from me and i was thinking about you.
#2 Meeting Lance, Oscar and a few of our hotties from the Hotittude thread.
#3 Then going to the real after party in town, Oh My, so much fun was had there.. and not telling any secrets.
#4 Watching albi take out the TDU, great to see an aussie win, oh and having a Champagne shower thanks to the quickstep team..
Ok time for photos.
Thought i better put a racing shot in to show you all that i did see the race.. hehehe
I have many more photos and will put them up over the next couple of weeks.
For Jimbo and Gavia
Ok here is some more sexybank
And, i'm wondering how do i get this job...

Sweetness!
Flatbagger totally(!) took care of us on the race report and such. You my dear, are totally taking care of us on the riders department. Love the top of the dress you finally decided on. Can’t wait to hear more about it. :-) How cutie Adam?
And I agree with Albertina, you and Jens! wow. Ruthann will be very jealous.

Oh. My. GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t even breathe, I am SO jealous!!!! At the risk of succumbing to fangirl-ness: please, please, tell us more! Did you happen to mention how we worship him here at the PdC?

Seriously, I'm all discombobulated here...
I have put years of worship into him, and you got a HUG. Oh, be still, my heart! I am so glad he was kind and funny, I just knew he would be….
Nikki, girl, it’s up to you at the TofCA – you must get a hug, too!!!

Ok more info for you
Yes, i did tell him about the PdC group, he thought it was pretty cool, and said he may go and have a look.. hehehehe I also showed him the road tagging that my sister did, which made him laugh. We talked for ages about lot’s of things ;-)

I better quickly stick a guy comment in here before we get swamped . . .
CycleGirl I am sooo happy for you.
Looks like you grabbed some SexyBack there in the Jens photo, what a hug BABY !
LOL from Don (and by-the-way, whenever for the past many weeks ladies I have said LOL it has meant Lots-of-Love, my son so laughed at me the other day when I showed him a thread, he said DAD, lol means laugh-out -loud !) I wikipedia’d lol, and he is right, whoops on me, however also wikipedia saved me sorta, by saying also lol historically meant “lots of love”
by peterfish on Jan 26, 2009 12:39 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Hey wait...
I use it both ways. I use LOL as both laugh out loud and lots of love. It always seems to fit and which ever makes most sense is the one I’m inserting. I didn’t realize that it’s not good for both. Oh well. Just know I will continue to use it for both.

LOL and lol
( or was that lol and LOL ? )
yes I went back and looked over some podcaf lol’s and it seemed to me both intentions were there, so yup it makes sense that both are right, and it doesn’t matter ! Neither are negative, both are positive, so LOL away !

Give it time Nikki
say round about Flanders, when it’s the middle of the night in Australia, the bottle is getting a little low and Dan is on his 3rd beer before breakfast. A couple of Aussies are in the early break, the conversation drifts and bingo.

But... but....
She’s going to be AT the classics!
I’m sure though that the rest of us will settle on the topic for some good fun though!
The races at wee hours are such a blast! I still have some giggles with the overnight of the Olympics.

I'm sure if i could have conned someone
I would have been up there. I did get to hold Allans Ass for about 2 minutes when the photo of him with the team and flags was getting taken, had to help him up, only place to put hand was well the ass!!! Hey he didn’t mind it was either mine or a bloke.

Does anybody know if any of the pro peleton are homosexual (not that there's anything wrong with that)..
….then i can get the hug shots too!! :-(
errrr....am i supposed to sign this??

Eh
We’re not going there. I know, you’re not being judgmental at all, but any real discussion of the topic is too prone to invasions of privacy. And anyway, don’t Europeans do man-hugs? Or is that just a Northwest thing?

Europeans do major manhugs. They don't even call them manhugs. They are just hugs.

In Italy
it’s very very common to see men walking arm in arm down the street with their friends. Just in a sort of BMF way (or should it be BFM – it’s so easy to lose track of what all these damned acronyms mean).

I'll give you a big hug flatbagger.
I don’t care who is or isn’t “the topic”, and a hug is a hug, so LOL to you too!

You could head out for some of the women's races
and make the guys here drool… :-)

in keeping with previous posts guess who this is game . . . and the manhug theme here,
and btw I have no idea myself (yet) I just saw the pic a minute ago for the 1st time.

Those old bikes are so light and graceful
Carbon will never look anywhere near as pretty, no matter how snazzy the paint job.

yes I was thinking exactly the same . . .
and does anyone have guesses as to the riders identities? (I have a pretty good idea who is on top)

So what's George like in real life (as opposed to my fantasy life)? Do tell!
He always seems so unassuming and a man who only says what is needed and not a word more in interviews. Of course, the media probably makes them act different. Do tell!
by ZoeRochelle on Jan 26, 2009 10:15 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
George looks you straight in the eye when you talk..
It was very funny as I had a few wines and was actually calling him “Georgie Baby”, he was laughing, and i mentiond PdC. Bernhard Eisel didn’t say much, but Adam Hansen was amazing..

This is borderline abuse girl.
I think we girls all need to be able to sit down and have some wine and “discuss” these matters. And just HOW amazing was Mr. Hansen?!? You so need to share some more.

Pinarello slobber slobber slobber
Thanks CG… and the Jens! hug shot is so sweet. I want a big happy hug like that from Jens! And I want to hug a Pinarello. And that podium girl too…
The chase is better than the catch...

So that's why Frank was the only one huh!!
I tried to man-hug Luis prior to the classic….I tried to man-hug Adam prior to stage one…I was going to man hug George but he had the zipper down so i thought it best not…and I ain’t man-hugging any women when I’m wearing lycra!!!
errrr....am i supposed to sign this??

I thought the booze would kill off everything.
Maybe killed too much of the good stuff off. Bummer. I hope you feel better soon!!!

You haven't been drinking from strange men's bidon's have you!!!!
I am upset….I thought the picture of the only cyclist that dropped off a bottle of Vin Rouge rather than threw a bidon at you would have been posted!!!!….sigh
errrr....am i supposed to sign this??

Not that we've confirmed the guy on the left...
does anyone else think the one on the right has a little tyler hamilton look to him?

Liquigas - Claudio CORIONI
and a charming Italian… Pity I was busy chatting to other riders.. I knew he was in our Hotittude thread, so photo was needed.

Just wanted to be careful, not risky.

You're a changed woman Cyclegirl
Corioni did sod all during the TDU….he looked like he was here for a holiday and from the look of that photo he probably got a little too much of the Adelaide Corioni’s home grown produce if you know what i mean wink wink.

Corioni did sod
Hey he was there for the Hotittude value, I was happy. That photo was taken on the last day after Chichi won, so he is allowed to look a little ruffled.. I tought he looked hot, and let me tell you the Liquigas Team, smelt sooooo nice. Couldn’t understand anything that they were saying but hey they looked good.
As for changed women, I’ll Never Change ;-) The closer you get, less is told.

does that count as verification? For wiki purposes?

I hope so, take note wiki!
It is very important in Hotittude points.
