The farm at the end of the loch and most of the trees are still there today although trees and bushes have grown around the shores of the loch since then. |

Wayne, I am disappoint. Where are the cycling chimps?! |

http://www.mouthpiecesports.com/blog...07/vietto1.jpg OK, I'll conceed that the man is crying, but when you read the reason why, hopefully you'll smile. Vietto had a serious shot of taking home the yellow jersey. As he descended a mountain, he was informed by a race marshal that his team’s captain, Antonin Magne, had crashed near the top of the hill. So he reverses course, back up the mountain, with his fixed-gear bicycle to aid Magne. He gives his front wheel to his captain, drags the remainder of his bicycle to the side of the road, sits on a stone wall, and weeps like a baby. That sort of passion is a beautiful thing. |
I love the René Vietto story. King René, he was known as. An awesome climber. Here's Bartali: http://le-grimpeur.net/blog/wp-images/bart1.jpg |
I don't have any pics but am loving the ones posted so far. In terms of Friday smiles, I think I've managed to get my new tires both sealed up and it's sunny and warm here. Additionally, without wanting to sound like a suck, this is absolutely the nicest forum I've ever been a member of and I've been on a few. |
I had a craggy mood, now its gone. Thanks BDW et al. |

That is not a smile. That is Damo's special face. |

Over 100km of mountain road you're going to get some better stories. Can anyone reccomend a good book that's full of this stuff? |
"One more kilometre and we're in the showers" by Tim Hilton (I think) Great source of cycling folklore. |
