The Tour fan is the greatest fan. And that is not just a matter of opinion, it is fact. Jenn sat down with me to watch Le Tour for the weekly 1 hour special we get, and she was immediately smitten. It's contagious. Most people don't know what they're missing. I wish more of our countrymen were as like minded, but sadly, it is just not so. But once you experience watching the most grueling endurance event the world has to offer, your life is changed forever. Go Cadel!!!! Great post. The Tour fan is the greatest fan.

In order to simulate climbing the mountainous terrain, it was necessary to rock the bike back and forth while standing up on it. Unfortunately, this produced a horrible noise from the second floor, as if the bike might come crashing through to the first floor. Good thing I had the John Tesh music cranked up in my headphones so I couldn't hear it! Not so good a thing when Mom would come yelling for me to sit down on the bike.
