The 2008 NYC Century Bike Tour is upon us - and registration is open.
I had an amazing time doing this last year, but when I tried to find a good you tube video of the event to post, all I came up with were these long, music video, it was happiness and light, everyone had a great time and waved at the camera, videos.
This bears no resemblance to my finish line experience.
I was hot and miserable and everything hurt. By the time I got back to Central Park I never wanted to get back on my bike again.
So I'm posting this instead.

Rain, rain, go away
No, no, no.
No rain.
Not on Sunday.
If anyone knows an anti - rain dance, please start doing it now.
Better yet, if you teach it to me, I'll do it.
On a brighter note, if you missed today's bike snob nyc, go there now for a withering and hysterical skewering of mid-life crisis road bike culture.
Please God, never let that be me.

Who doesn't love the onion...
PARIS—A small but enthusiastic crowd of several dozen was on hand at the Tour de France's finish line on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées Tuesday to applaud the efforts of the 28 cyclists who completed the grueling 20-stage, 2,208.3-mile race without the aid of performance-enhancing drugs.
"It became most difficult for us on the 7th stage, which was almost 200 kilometers and the first stage through the mountains," Kvistik said while accepting the non-doping victor's 100-franc check from his stretcher. "Not only did the excruciating pain and weakness in my legs make it difficult to walk my bike on the steeper stretches, it was mentally very hard to know that half the other clean riders were dead or dying."
