Bowling is excellent, and a 159 is really good!

Of course, when I bowl, it's usually just entertainment to go along with pitchers of beer.

you and me both, but he's only 12 - LOL!

He'll be in college soon enough

Do they do that glow bowl stuff? We had a fundraiser bowling thing, and my boss actually got sick when they flipped on the strobes and black lights and played that awful music. I'm not much of a fan either. Gives me a huge head ache.

tell me about it - how is it that I will have 2 kids in college this fall?  I cannot possibly be that old!

 

Hey, at least those two will be off the payroll soon  Heck, my parents were just happy when I went to college because I was finally out of the house.  I mean come on, I could have used a little sadness or something, but no, I think they threw a party when they got home.

haha my mum always says she was lucky - I moved out at 17, my borther at 18 and neither of us went back.

She now lives in a rural area sowe couldnt go back even if we wanted to because we would never be able to get jobs there!

In fact I have 8 hours of highlights from last years tour to start watching in the lead up...

So cool!  Last year's TdF was just AWESOME!  So glad Levi got a podium.

I don't think I've ever posted this on BT before, but it's from 1997 at an Omnium they used to have here in Jackson, MS.  The cool part is at the very end when the road race winner is coming in.  Right about 3:30 in the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsfVdBfzLHE

 

thats awesome - he seems like such a nice guy! (sooo much better than contador who I cant stand)

I actually started buying Gerolsteiner water when Levi rode for them.  I guess I can't make fun of all the NASCAR brand loyal fans anymore.

Is Andy Schleck riding le Tour this year?  He was awesome in the '07 giro at the age of 21!!

You did? Umm yeah.. i did get excited when RaboBank opened here... oh and when I drove past CSC headquarters here for the first time.... cant say Ive gone so far as to purchase... yet!

Not sure about Schleck.... he is definatley one for the future... he has been very quiet this year... just fourth in Liege-Bastogne-Liege I think? I hope he is riding!

Maybe it's the Tour he's trying to get in form for.  I don't think he rode in the Giro this year did he?

Oooh, and I just remembered all the cool tech stuff they show off at the Tour.  They had a guy on Versus showing off all the electronic shifting stuff last year.

Heh... Yeah, I live in a place that is a wee bit college football (american football) crazy.  It's pretty much the only sports topic.  The people to talk cycling, or actual football/soccer to are few and far between.  Although, a few people did ask me to explain bike racing to them last year when they caught me watching it in the break room.  They seemed to lose interest pretty quickly though.

that would have been awesome to see... definatley dont really get that here... I think its because its on Free to Air television... so the idea is to get as many people watching as possible and not scare them off....

I think one of the other sites (Slowtwitch? cyclingnews?) did a really good feature on all of the bikes being ridden?

haha its like that here too... AFL, NRL, Union, Cricket, Swimming, Tennis... even Football come before cycling... Im just lucky I work for the broadcaster...

But there still arent many people I have to talk about the Tour to which is why I bore BT with long winded posts at this time of year

I know... I HAVE to get to a news agents and have a look for the magazines... I know the Aussies ones with the Tour coverage has one out today, and one out next Friday...

But maybe some of the European mags have been airfreighted over here... this time of year its worth the cost!
