A buddy of mine was talking about doing that. He's rich like you though. That's not for us middle class peons.

Of course, your rich friends can do it for more.

You're never too old to ride a bike. I am living proof. Viking is older than I and creekster pretends to be younger.

Back on topic, I thought this quote from Bruyneel was interesting:
The man holding that potentially winning hand, Discovery director Johann Bruyneel, said the day worked out as well as he could possibly hope. "We prepared a strategy in the morning and it worked to perfection," Bruyneel said. "It was a good stage for Contador to win and we wanted to take time on Evans and Klöden. The team was like the old days, not in the sense of the domination, but how we achieved our goals as we stated them. We wanted the stage, to conserve the white jersey and push Levi and Alberto closer to the podium, so it was a successful day. I believe in both Alberto and Levi." So, how does this work? Will one start working for the other after tomorrow? |

Its probably a lot the same when I'm riding a bike either on the road or on some singletrack, being totally oblivious to how crazy it may be to ride on a 3 inch shoulder with cars going 60mph just a foot or two away from me or riding the bike just inches from a 300 foot dropoff into a ravine. Focus. |

I was referring to the combination of the two.
Of course, I said that because I was looking at it from my perspective of having bad luck in situations like that. If you folks ever want to ensure your safety, do something with me, as if anything bad happens, it will happen to me. For example: When I was about 13 or so, a group of friends and I were riding our bikes down the hill in Sandy on 10600 S. between 1300 E. and 1000 E. It was late at night and we were having fun racing down the hill. Well, the street light was out and we were riding in a staggered single file row and I was the one who hit the manhole cover that was loose at the bottom of the hill and had a terrific crash with road rash and everything.
