Gav's Stage 2 ToC Report at CN

by Jimbo... on May 17, 2011 12:35 AM EDT

As some of you may know, our very own Gavia, (surfer chick, lover of crayons, hater of bacon) is busy playing hooky this week as an international cycling reporter for Cycling News covering the Tour of California. Check out her Stage 2 Report.

Some of you may recall CN as that place you go to lookup race results so you can keep your own VDS score card because you are either crazy, or you don't trust Ted, or both. Anyways, Gav is doing stage reports and other reporterly stuff, so check it out! She's pounding the pavement, chasing down every lead, looking for those nuggets of truth and insight man... and probably drinking coffee, and shivering, and.... umm.... sitting around in press rooms with other press people doing press people things, like tweeting and reading email, and talking shit about other press people who are tweeting and blogging and stuff. The ususal... Is that enough words yet? Yep!

aaaw, thanks dude

I did in fact sit in the press room with the press people doing press things. I also drank two double espressos, which isn’t that many, really. Early morning transfer tomorrow. So can’t wait. Yay mornings?

Pigs sleep and root in shit.

That’s a filthy animal. I ain’t eat nothin’ that ain’t got sense enough to disregard its own feces.

Good thing other species' feces are okay, though

or you wouldn’t be able to eat vegetables, either.
