A Typical Post Ride Conversation

The Trusty Boyfriend, his brother, his sister, and I have been getting a kick out of these Xtranormal videos lately. They’re not exactly side-splitting funny, but for some reason the more we watch, the harder we laugh. We’ve made jokes out of nearly all the lines and have adapted them for nearly any situation.

Seriously?

Just a short video today, sent by a friend. Her comment when she sent it was “it’s ok, it’s within the rules of the Tour de France.” Pretty sure it’s not, but that doesn’t stop it from being entertaining. Enjoy–and happy Friday!

How to Make the Sponsors Angry

There was one stage in this year’s TDF in which the stage winner didn’t have his jersey fully zipped at the finish. In fact, the jersey was flapping in the breeze. Everyone I was watching the race with was muttering, “bad form! tsk!” “his jersey!” and “the sponsors!” It is a cardinal sin to win [...]
