I am against the picketing subculture, but I have no way to show it...

I thought of Tyler too, but he tested positivie for homologous blood doping -- that is, having the blood of two different people in his system. I'm not a blood expert, but from what I understand the homologous blood doping test is pretty solid.

I wasn't even born for another twenty years.

I guess I am showing my age with that one as well...

Laurent Fignon won the Tour (for the first time) in my birth year though.

Very true Fritz. By way of this comment, I challenge all of us to raise $500+ for Fritz as well.

So far, I have raised $300 for the Davis Phinney Foundation through an autographed 7-Eleven jersey (signed by Davis, Tom Schuler, and Frankie Andreu) donation at the VeloNews fundraiser in Philadelphia in June 2005 (actually won by a by a Lampre Caffita rider). Let's raise $700 for some of the other charities as well! Please post if you have donated to any/all of these charities.

*ahem* Don't forget that you also have the opportunity to sponsor me in the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure ride this summer. My wife has diabetes and I'm a strong supporter of the ADA's research and education efforts.

I don't see why you wouldn't, but it was Fritz's contest idea, so he will ultimately let you know you won (which I believe you did).

Sorry for the delay, he is on a business trip right now and I am unsure of when he will be returning from it.

It's Wednesday night/Thursday morning, and I still haven't seen anything about the Tour of California on our wire services. We may not have a high enough level of service to get The Associated Press stories here.

In your case, James, I'm sure the reason you've been able to read about the race in your newspaper is because George Hincapie lives there, thus AP is sending stories. We don't have any major cyclists who live in Illinois or Missouri in the race, so we're not getting a thing.

I don't understand why AP isn't at least sending a brief or results nationwide.

I ran track in high school. I was in 1st place in an 800 meter race, looked back like an idiot instead of putting every ounce of effort into crossing the finish and came in second on that race.

Hey Fritz. Isn't it funny how you blog about pixel sites and you get some pixel spam? You saw it on my blog when you commented. Oh well. Thanks for linking to my case study. As you've noted, most pixel sites are a waste of time.

Hi! I am Motherstormcrowe and have seen first hand the fall and rise of T. Stormcrowe. Last March, T was at death's door, the last chance for him was bariatric surgery. It took great courage on his part to go through with the surgery knowing the great risk of even having the surgery. With a great deal of prayer circling in the OR, T came through and after the first iffy 24 hours, surgery was deemed a success. T is my hero also, because he has stuck through through thick and thin - no pun intended. His 325 pound weight loss is phenomenal especially for his pudgy mother who has had a log of trouble losing 16 pounds and riding a bike around the block! I am so proud of him.

T is an amazing shrinking man!! I met him a short while back when rolling through some blogs and have been visiting his site ever since. It is wonderful to watch a person like Tom, who is young and intelligent, and his great sense of humor brings out the best in any situation.
He is truly a gift and an inspiration to anyone who struggles with physcial or mental difficulties!
He IS my hero!!

Fantastic post, Michael!

Sponsorship's a huge deal. The Tour de Toona website has some good numbers on cycling demographics, but the perception seems to be that few people in the USA watch competetive cycling events. OLN stepped out on a limb last year broke ratings records for their network with 1.6 million viewers watching the TdF, so I don't really understand the lack of televised coverage for major US stage races.

I an understand how you must feel about this. Our Australian women's cycling team was out on a training ride in Greiz in Germany last year, when a teenage motorist crashed into them injuring 5 cylcists and killing one. What happened to the motorist? She has to pay a 1440 euro fine and has had her driving licence revoked for 8 months. That's what an elite athletes life is worth .... 1440 euro (about $2000 AUD).

Sounds to me like some investment in safe infrastructure for cycling, even long distance with dedicated greenways even running interurban might be a possible help, Uncle SAm could offer tax creds for vacations by bike for example as well!
