This quiz on the Sporza website is so much fun. It's not all about cycling although there are cycling rounds. You compete against all the other people who are online at the time in a multiple choice quiz, taking it in turns to choose round topics. I'm on a high currently as I just beat two Belgians into submission.....and I don't speak Flemish :-) In fairness though, some of the questions are pictures....

Using lasers and lights to make your bones hurt less.

Nothing but good news in this issue of the NewYork Times. Wander around the different sections for the good news. And oh yea, Happy Fourth of July.

more good stuff from Barry, this time about cyclocross ... "blood, sweat and air horns".

from Pedal, stuff about Worlds, about going to Garmin, about the (lack of) funding for young riders in Canada, and about future plans - he wants to work towards riding the Madison with Zach Bell in the Olympics in 2012.

Heidi Swift writes a blog and "enjoys" racing cyclocross. But what she really enjoys is the pain associated with racing all out. Masochism at it's finest.

(Lyne, did you see this one? )
Interesting phrasing and comparisons they use - how he's "floating on a cloud" now after the disappointment of not making the Olympic team, how he's made the equivalent of a "national league" or big league, and that he's "feverish" to be on the same team as Sastre (but figures he'll learn more from Hushovd in that they're more similar types of riders).

Although I read the article, and it states Nyes fell in a previous race.... The expressions on these fellers would seem to indicate that some altercation had occurred on courses.... Since cyclingnews has a pop up telling us not to use there images without permission.. A link will have to suffice...

Interesting video at NYTimes site on Leadville 100.

I don't even know what to say. I didn't know you could do any of that stuff with a bike.
