Rick Reilly - Lance Armstrong loosens up - ESPN:

"The world is starting to wake up to the fact that the Ancient Pedaler is actually going to be a cog in the Tour de France over the next three weeks. It boggles even Armstrong's mind.

'People didn't expect this,' Armstrong says. 'They're all like, 'Ah, the guy cheated his way to the top.' But now? Nearly 38 years old? Out of cycling for four years? Tested more than anybody on the planet? Right in it for the yellow jersey? There can't be a shadow of a doubt left now.'

Oh, trust me.

But hearts are melting toward the old guy, even French ones"

Mice Run Faster On High-grade Oil

Wow! I guess we better watch what we eat!

Mice Run Faster On High-grade Oil:

"...research, to be presented on the 29th of June 2009 at the Society for Experimental Biology Annual Meeting, has shown that mice fed for two weeks on a diet high in sunflower oil, which contains n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, ran on average 0.19m/s faster than mice fed a diet rich in linseed oil, which is high in n-3 fatty acids.

This means that, over a 2 second sprint, a mouse fed on a high n-6 fatty acid diet would have a 0.4m advantage. This represents a 6.3% improvement which equals that achieved in the 100m world records over more than 75 years"

So important that I cross-posted it on ParkandShop, RandomTopics2 and OleanCyclingClub's blog

Cozy Beehive: Alma 100 resport from Ron...

Good report!

Cozy Beehive: Alma 100:

"On Father's Day I decided to go out to put some long miles in rural country. This adventure included one of my favorite spots to climb. Known as Alma Hill Road, in Alma NY, it happens to be the highest point in Western New York at 760m above sea level. At 4 miles and 1000 feet of climbing on dirty, grainy, rain washed road at an average of 5-6% gradient (steepest around 12%), it will quickly tell you whether you are in climbing shape, or if you aren't, readily provide a poorly done road before you to blame and vent your frustration onto."

Cool video of Greg Lemond speech

Speaking out against drugs in cycling. Well worth watching.

Hilarious!!!

Thurs and Sat ride

From Jo Ann

Just a reminder that there is a group ride leaving from Lincoln Park in Olean today at 6 pm. Route is approximately 30 miles--give or take.

Saturday morning in the Interfaith Caregivers rider leaving from the Allegany River Park. The 100k ride leaves at 8:30 with registration starting at 8 am. Don't be late or you'll miss the "Bo Train". It's my understanding that it is the same route as last year. The shorter rider leave at time increments after that. If anyone wants to wimp on down with me, I'll be doing the 50k ride this year.

See you tonight and Saturday!!!!

Yea!! I made it out for my first ride of the season. Only 12 miles but I did it! Hoping to ride either Tuesday or Wednesday night from Lincoln park at 6. I'll be riding at the Post baby or haven't been on the bike in a year pace. If enough people show there will be another faster group to ride with. Will keep you posted re: ride. Lynn

Lance Armstrong out of Giro contention, but old fire is returning - Austin Murphy - SI.com:

"...when he isn't fetching bottles for his mates, Lance Armstrong is beginning to show flashes of his old, predatory form. While he's won no Giro stages and is still not yet his former self, he's getting close enough to be making people nervous -- including, I am guessing, his Astana teammate Alberto Contador."
