Another bike race to catch on Universal sports this week! It's not that the Bobsledding world championships aren't riveting, but it's time for a change...
The race of the two seas
Tylar Farrar must be wondering what planet he's landed on that his leadout man is Thor Hushovd!

cycling season is here
At least in parts of the world where it isn't snowing...
The race to the sun
Being uninformed, crawling out from under my rock, I was pleasantly surprised to catch some bike racing as I had a couple of hours of couch time scheduled anyway!
Being the informed crowd you are, you probably already knew this: Paris-Nice stage race is this week, I caught stage 1 on Versus (channel 73-Comcast) this afternoon.
I don't care who won the stage, Jens Voigt is the man! I think Bob Roll said it well when he said " when Jens is in the break with you, you know two things: One, you're going to suffer, and two, the breakaway has a good chance of succeeding!" Indeed...
Stage two tomorrow, 2pm, mountain time, there's no reason why you can't stream the stage at work...Call it recharging of the battery.

The true man
A little ancient chinese philosophy for you...
"What is meant by a "true man"?
The true men of old were not afraid
When they stood alone in their views.
No great exploits. No plans.
If they failed, no sorrow.
No self-congratulation in success.
They scaled cliffs, never dizzy,
Plunged into water, never wet,
Walked through fire and were not burnt.
Thus their knowledge reached all the way
To Tao.
The true men of old
Knew no lust for life,
No dread of death.
Their entrance was without gladness,
Their exit, yonder,
Without resistance.
Easy come, easy go.
They did not forget where from,
Nor ask where to,
Nor drive grimly forward
Fighting their way through life.
They took life as it came, gladly;
Took death as it came, without care;
And went away, yonder,
Yonder!"
-Excerpt from The way of Chuang Tzu, by: Thomas Merton
