Bummer!
Lance Armstrong suffered a severe left elbow contusion with big haematoma as well as a 3 cm/1.2 inch complex swollen laceration under his left eye.
Armstrong was involved in an early crash in the 5th stage (Visalia-Bakersfield) as the road narrowed. Several riders went down in the crash. Armstrong resumed riding after the crash for about 10km but had to abandon because his eye was swollen shut. After the crash Lance Armstrong was evaluated by Race doctor Ramin Modabber and Team doctor Dag Van Elslande in the Team bus. They administered eight stitches below his left eye. Armstrong was taken to Bakersfield Memorial Hospital for precautionary X-rays which were negative.
“It was a shame to have to abandon early and not be able to help Levi to another victory. It was one of those crashes that put a bunch of us down. I tried to give it a go but my eye was swollen so I couldn’t see properly and the pain in the elbow prevented me from holding the bars for the remainder of the stage. It was a relief to learn there were no breaks. I will take a few days to recover and be on the bike as soon as possible”
lance crashes,,, leaves race to go to hospital
Don't be shy! Get OUT OF The Box! Just Do IT!!!
Still need one rider for the K&K Saturday to fill a spot,plus we have two footbikes for two more teams if you have a friend who would like to try it,this is your chance,more fun than race,just e-me, or get in touch with someone thats doing it, let us know, it's gonna be fun, jj

How Mad Is Mad?
SEATTLE, WA (BRAIN)—Industry Veteran Ric Hjertberg has entered into the wheel market once again, launching Mad Fiber.
Hjertberg was the founder of Wheelsmith and Wheel Fanatyk. He was also the new technology manager at Full Speed Ahead.
“For me, all roads have led to this," he said in a press release. "Mad Fiber is the culmination of everything I’ve loved my whole life, and ultimately, it’s about a very simple vision: the dream of creating the perfect wheel. Not with preconceived notions or existing technology, but rather with carbon optimized engineering.”
Joining Hjertberg is Max Kismarton, chief technologist, and an instructor in aerospace engineering with Kansas University. Kismarton is also an engineer for one of the world’s largest aerospace firms, with engineering and production responsibility for some of the world’s most innovative aircraft, both commercial and military. His career success, accomplishments and numerous patents revolve around his ability to develop product that is simultaneously aerodynamic, reliable and lightweight—and that can be consistently and efficiently produced—making him exceptionally qualified to develop high performance bicycle wheels.

give me one!
The latest in ice therapy, the personal ice baths of HTC Columbia. I could have used one of these yesterday after coming back from sis's. thanks James for the pursuit!
Then and Now! 25 year's!
The original 1985 Allez from the movie American Flyers. The frame was constructed using Tange Prestige tubing and featured lugged construction
The Tarmac SL3 uses Specialized’s FACT IS (integrated Structure) carbon manufacturing process. The frame is comprised of four main parts: The front triangle, seat tube, seatstays and bottom bracket/chainstays assembly. To increase the stiffness of the rear triangle the oversized bottom bracket and chainstays are one piece. The bottom bracket shell also does away with metal bearing cups to save weight and features internal carbon ribs that stiffen the juncture between the bottom bracket bearings and the frame. Specialized uses hollow box section alloy dropouts to increase stiffness in the rear triangle.
