I dislike Riccardo Ricco more today than I did before. This morning I realized that he is not very bright in addition to being a big mouth. Ricco was constantly trying to get Contador to work more and/or up the pace, which made absolutely no sense. Contador was not only in the lead overall, but [...]

I have had a lot of hits on my blog from people looking for information on the Garmin Edge, so I thought that I would give you an update on mine. First of all, not having really trained with a heart rate monitor (HRM) before, I can tell you it really does make a difference. [...]
