Peloton Update
The flats are over for now and the tour heads into the first mountain stage in the Pyrenees. It is still really anybody's race. Base10 is very impressed with Floyd Landis who is currently number two and is racing in spite of the fact that he will be getting a hip replacement after the race due to painful arthritis. Amazing!

Base10 is going to try to wake up extra early tomorrow to catch it (although the first real test should be on Thursday). I'll watch it even if it's pretty boring. Base10 does admire how Phil Liggett can make even the most boring shit sound interesting:

Base10 entered this house painting competition with high hopes to take it all and it looks as if this stage is going to be the key. He has switched from the brush to the roller and is proceeding with fantastic speed! He's covering square feet so quickly that none of the other painters are possibly able to keep up. Oh! He's spilled paint on the moulding! What a disaster! Base10 has started this day with such high hopes, but his run has ended with tragedy!

Base10 went out for a bike ride today, as well. Roughly twenty miles, but I didn't bring the odometer. I took a ride through the neighborhood in which I grew up. It was interesting. Everything is different, but oddly similar. Base10 wanted to get photos but his cell phone would not cooperate so that will have to wait for another time. It was kind of interesting, but more on this tomorrow.
