Phil and Paul Narrate My Ride

Commuter Dreams http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI7T2iuGjjc check it out on YouTube!

A Portland bike commuter and dedicated Tour De France fan gets up early to watch the Tour de France live, but as the stage ends he realizes he is going to be late to work. His exciting "race" to work is narrated by Tour de France TV commentators Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin.

75 words is more than I thought it would be.

Nice!

And very funny. (Not the least because I can relate to it myself.)

by the way, if you put it as a fanshot, then you don’t need 75 words.

The victory salute!

A frozen 'cross ride from this last weekend. As you may be aware we have had siberian conditions here in the UK with a low of -14 degrees centigrade here on saturday morning. It was a beautiful sunny morning so i layered up and set off for a snowy 'cross ride along a roman road. I checked the thermometer when i got back to find it had been -10 throughout the ride! I had a lot of fun though and the views were spectacular.
