Well...I survived another Grand Tour. I'd like to thank my coach for helping me prepare. My computer, cyclingfans.com and wi-fi for staying consistent. My boss for allowing me to listen to it in the background at work. Also for lengthy discussions each day about the previous stage. A special thanks to my wife for acting interested. Remembering key names and asking me what happened everyday. I am exhausted. "So what will you do now?" you ask. I plan to go on holiday, probably a beach somewhere with no TV, internet access or cycling coverage of any form or fashion. I'll probably read a book, eat lots of cheeseburgers and drink some beer. Put on a few kilos. That is what my coach recommended if I want to be good for the Vuelta a Espana...Horner!
Is this why the beard seems to be popular in the PRO peloton in 2014?
Is this the new July? Is the globe getting warmer? Probably. Let's just call it another gift.

Thank god. After my vertiginous nightmare resulting from the leg shaving incident, I don't think I could survive removing the beard.
I figured you needed some good news. Can't wait to see these things. The aero Jon.
I'm still in disbelief that you could get what he got from shaving your legs. I guess crazier things have happened. I just can't think of any right now
