Paris-Nice
Thanks Daniel for the link to the 64th Paris Nice ProTour. I am following the race on that site. It is nice to see Bobby Julich and Floyd Landis in the top ten after stage two. One of these days I might have to buy a bicycle and ride it. That might have to wait until I move to a town with flat roads rather than all hills.

Yes, Steve I highly recommend getting a bicycle. I love riding mine on flat roads with no traffic...which means I never ride it. Well, once or twice a year. Turns and slopes (up or down) and traffic make me nervous. Very nervous. There was a nice wide path, flat, through the woods in Illinois...where a train track had been removed...called the Prairie Path. It went for miles through a wooded neighborhood. I loved riding that! I am looking for something like that here. I've been on the San Gabriel River one...wide, no traffic, but slopes and turns. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteyes, i've heard that paris is rather nice... what's that? oh, it is?
ReplyDeleteParis is "rather nice." We walked and walked...even into a homeless person's camp by the Seine River. Felt so "at home" there. Once again, travel to a country so "different" makes what is reported in the news so "familiar."
ReplyDeleteHey, Rob (Glen, Cindi, and...?)
And here's to another snow day...
Paris! Nice!
ReplyDeleteSnow day? Cycling day!
And now Floyd Landis is leading after stage 3!
ReplyDeleteAfter you move to a flat city and get good at riding bike, you should move back to the hills (that could mean closer to us, as Whittier has plenty of hills). Paris-Nice has plenty of climbs, so you'll have to get used to them.
I'd rather fly to France and ride through burgundy or outside of Macon. Flat land with gentle hills. Since I would have to rest often I would probably consumer more calories than I would burn eating brie and drinking vin rouge.
