This 2010 Tour de France was EPIC to say the least. From stage wins to sprint points to the overall winner Alberto Contador. His only rival after two and a half weeks on a bike…Andy Schleck.

My pick for next year's tour...then again I picked him this year.

The flat sprinting stages however were dominated by the big 3. Thor Hushovd, Alesandro Patachi, and Mark “The Manx Missle” Cavendish.
Mark lost the green jersey competition for giving up one stage in the tour.

Fastest sprinter in the world on a bike

I enjoy watching the three weeks of bicycle racing, but only because of my DVR. That thing is the best invention and if you don’t have one. Well then you should go get one for christmas or something. They are seriously a life changer… In a positive way.

But back to the tour… Contador rode an awesome time trial and earned himself the victory fair and square. He was simply the better man.

2010 Champion

The Rockies managed a win over the hot Boston Red Sox.

Overcoming a pinch hit appearance from David Ortiz and a late 9th inning run, the Rockies held on for the win tonight.

It was great getting to see the final out of the game as Clint Barmes, at shortstop for the injured Troy Tulowitzki, dove for a ground ball before firing to first for the scooping catch by Helton.

Go Rockies! This was a great win.

March Madness lost the fun when my bracket got ruined by St. Mary’s and Northern Iowa.

….So it was finally time to fix my flat tire and go for a spring bike ride with snow still on the grass.

I rode for 20-25 minutes around Superior, loosening my muscles from skiing Vail yesterday. vail powder day first tracks

On my short ride, I quickly figured out that my bike, the TCR 2 , needed to be tuned for this season, when I was feeling a bumping every rotation of the tire.

But it did feel great to finally get back on my bike after a whole winter hanging in the garage.
