Roadies, eh?

"Slipstream-Chipotle has had its fair share of hassles associated with the chaos that is the Giro.


Following its victory in the team time trial Saturday, the team bus got lost in the maze of streets in Palermo. After nearly two hours of combating traffic, someone realized that their prizes included a Garmin GPS device. David Millar opened up the package and punched in the team’s hotel and they were home in no time."

nice one Rob, I was just about to berate Roadie Downey for such a dull and uninteresting article until I saw your video

I was up around the boxing ring at Kattys on a spin one night and Alan Aylings gears drove him so mental that he attempted to throw his bike down the hill, luckily (or not) the saddle snagged his camelback and the bike just swung around and came back to him - kinda like a golden retriever, you kick it up the arse but it still comes back wagging it's tail

I read Sean's post a bit quickly and only saw "victory", "punched in" and "hotel" - thought Millar was getting all Mötley Crüe in the hotel room.


Here's another good one, combining two of my favourite things - road riding and big fat dogs.

I'm planning on doing something similar in July.
