Yes redeeming their season for sure

I mean the Tour was good for them – 2 top tens, but now they are getting wins too.

EVIL is victorious!

The first cyclist to stand up to him. And he did it in silence.

You see how calm Vaughters is? That’s because he’s really one giant seething ball of Evil inside. With like, extra Evil.

They prepped the bottle of champagne for him. Cork was halfway out.

The first cyclist to stand up to him. And he did it in silence.

For all the updates, could keep refreshing on the blackberry and feel like I was almost watching (sometimes a 3 month old makes it hard to get a video feed up on the computer- or even to get to the computer!). Go Canada!

I’ve spent this afternoon painting an enormous wall & kept running back to the office to check the thread & finally came in to see that screen shot of Ryder. Good stuff.
