Have you found this Tour 2005 boring?
- Thread starter mareblu

Back in the days when I owned a road bike, my wife (then my girlfriend) went out for a long ride in Naples, Florida. We were on a stretch of new road without much to look at, and she was drafting behind me. At one point she got too close and her front wheel touched my back wheel, and she went skidding along the pavement. No serious injuries, but she still has some discoloration on her knees and elbows from the road rash scars.LindaNo1 said:
Long story short(er), she admitted to me later that she had been distracting herself on the ride by looking at the back of my cycling shorts, and just got a little too close.
(Not suggesting I have glutes of steel or anything -- it was just strange to receive a compliment about my butt in that context).
I heard you used to put a pair of socks down the front of your cycling shorts to compensate for the lack of manhood you have...... its ok its an old trick and has worked for a few..... only a bit embarrassing when you run out of socks and have to use the ones that have been down your shorts for a 200km ride.... oh well the price you pay.....

What if they fell out en route?

It's an American Indian name meaning "he who cracks walnuts between thighs".mareblu said:
No, seriously, it's a conglomeration of the first two letters of my first and last name, and my wife's first and maiden names. Not particularly inventive, but we've found it's a username that's not likely to be taken . . .
Not boring. This is the first time I have had more than highlights to watch and I must say the coverage (we get phil and paul) is rivetting.
Each stage has exciting plays, the comments from the riders. this forum, the subtle pressures put on by different teams when their man is under threat, the not-so-subtle pressures applied when someone transgresses the unwritten laws, learning and understanding the unwritten laws - it just goes on.
Despite what many think, Lance is not the tour. The tour is many races and rivalries in one and if you follow those it will never be boring.
Should have it all year!
