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!
