nope, didn't ride to work today. but hell, i did stay up till all hours of the morning watching yesterday's tour de france stage where floyd landis had one of the most heroic comebacks in all the sprts i've ever seen.

what a heart! everyone knew he had the potential. not quite sure why the peleton let him go so far knowing he'd been so strong in the rest of the tour (with one obvious exception). the other teams should have ended the Caisse d'Epargne pace-making much, much earlier. it was clear from where i sat that they just didn't have the firepower to close, or at the very least minimize the gap to mad-man floyd landis.

only another catastrophe like stage 16 could keep floyd from taking the GC in the individual time trial.

so no, didn't ride. we'll give it a whirl tomorrow when my only excuses should be family stuff to get ready for our trip to OSCON in portland next week :-)
