Nice shout out to Death's Door, a Wisconsin original. Thanks for another good read.

Amazingly, I awoke to Sunday excited to see "live" coverage of the Tour of Flanders and sat back in my chair with coffee in hand. I decided to skip the morning hammer fest and enjoy what my wife calls "watching paint dry" only to be disappointed in the amount of commercials NBCSports threw at us while subsequently missing most of the days climbing action in a race that is know for it's "notorious" hills. Terrible and shame on you NBCSports but the worst part is...I'm sure it was a preview to come for this summers Tour. By the way, I'm riding tomorrow morning Roubaix and all....

The piece on Boulder is spot on. Our daughter lives around the corner from Cured, so we frequent all of these places when we visit her from great road bike territory here in St George/Ivins, UT. Frasca is superb, but you also need to try their two adjoining restaurants - a superb pizza place and an outstanding coffee shop. Also, be sure to try the Boxcar coffee at Cured and stop in at the Laughing Goat nearby for another cup of great coffee.

1. If you follow 12 different cycling sites and think you won't see who won ToF when you check your email....
2. Garry lives in a world where the death penalty is applied to traffic violation, must be from Miami.
3. Get your Skratch from Above Category (and the Barfly for your Garmin).

BQ-There's a few contradictory objects on your overpriced "Italian" stallion that concern me: Japanese electronics, SRAM & Astana bidons, but most telling is your chain in the small ring. You're losing your "pro-ness."

So... now that you guys are carrying fixes and urban bikes, does that mean you'll be retiring the concept of PRO? :)

To paraphrase Repo Man, the longer you ride, the less intelligent you are. Not sure, but I think the longer you are at an anaerobic threshold on a ride, the more your decision making abilities diminish. I've had this same problem at stop signs and lights, and it's always more toward the end of a ride than the beginning. I've made a mental file card of the fact of my diminishing capabilities, and try to consult it before jamming a light or stop sign at the end of a ride... if I remember.

@Garry from Cincinnati: The whole point of his post was that he was stupid and not paying attention. PS. You are a jerk.

My DVR is to my TV what my Saddle is to my Madone- You might try one with out the other, but it's really not worth the pain. That said- I was extremely angry about the email with Tom Boonen's mug on it before I got home to watch the race. I slammed my computer closed- But I could not unsee it. Please don't ever do that again.

I don't see anywhere in the e mail that the winner is mentioned. If you clicked on an outside link and saw race photos, and continued to look, well, too bad. And we're two days away from P-R and you still haven't watched Flanders?

DVR is nice, but it doesn't beat waking up at 4:30 am and watching the race on Sporza.

Competitive Cyclist, As Steve from Washington said: Thanks for the e-mail announcing the winner before I had a chance to play back the DVR. It really is a cruel irony that you then turn around and crow about your successful media embargo while ruining mine.

I love it when other people have the same idea. Went for a 50 mile ride with three friends. Got home, got food, got a cold IPA the girls had gone shopping and I had the race on DVR. How perfect is that.

Two votes for Skratch Labs drink mix, that stuff is the best in the world.

I thought cyclists were supposed to obey the traffic laws?
If you "barely touch your brakes" and get T-boned by an SUV then there will be
one less inconsiderate cyclist on the road to give the rest of us a bad name.

Speculoos spread and Nutella waffles during the live broadcast. Leffe and frites during the playback. Belgian heaven.

The meaning of irony: Flanders coverage presented by Competitive Cyclist. Set DVR to record, then skip all the ads. Very funny yet not very "company man-ish" of you. Good form, Q! There's hope for you yet.

First thing I did after watching the race was to google "fluro sidi ergo 3" sadly no dice.

Fluoro does look good on 'chic & magnifique' but it looks better on myself. Attacco Pippo. WLF

When are you guys going to start carrying skratch labs drink mix?

Ask Will Frischkorn if he will give me an interview :(
He's the only pro cyclist that I can think of from West Virginia. I'd die to hear him talk about this area.

The reason FiPo's neon shoes look cool because they match his kit. The way mortals would wear them - red helmet, blue bike, and a multi-colored jersey, not so much.

Tip of the cap for a very well done "What's New". If we are going to criticize when you go astray, you also deserve praise for when you nail one perfectly. I think you have earned those neon Sidi's- go ahead and charge them to the marketing budget. Oh, and treat yourself to some proper insoles seeing Sidi's are still a sad joke.

I had the opposite happen to me in an intersection here in Seattle last week, my path had no stop sign, but to the left and right did. A truck decided to keep rolling as I rolled through. I kept an eye on them, wondering "are you going to stop, did I miss my sign? Am I blind" doubting myself as i played chicken, eyes darting from making eye contact with the driver and the stop-sign shaped sign to their right (and behind).
Can't let it get to you, we don't live in a world of what if. There are so many occasions and instances that should mean our death that were quite oblivious to. Right behind you.
