That's cool! Looking at the map, Stage 3 starts in a suburb I lived for two years as a little kid. And Stage 4 goes through a town in the hills where I lived for another two years around 4 years old.

should be a fun race to watch highlights of.. the top sprinters in the sport are going to be there and the stages except for Willunga hill are fairly flat so they should all come down to sprint finishes at the end.

yea.. no. Cadel is not a sprinter. Cavendish, Farrar and Robbie Hunter are the ones who will be in the mix. the Willunga stage Cadel MIGHT have a chance if he gets away the 2nd time up and he somehow survives the last 10-15k to the finish... but i don't think it'll happen

Sounds about right. I think the longer I've been climbing the less rubber I consume on a per-unit-of-climbing basis.

I just ordered dance shoes last night. I said "I'm excited about my new dance shoes". Then I said "I really can't fucking believe those words just came out of my mouth."

If you think the camping sucks there you really haven't gotten around much It sucks because it's often windy. There are no trees and no shelter of any kind. I've camped in many places, very few suck as bad as 13 mile Its the desert. The desert is windy and has no trees. Yup. And that campground still sucks ass I still remember this one night I was sleeping outside at 13 mile. A muscle car tore into the campground at like 2am, blasting GNR, and I heard voices of the people as they drunkenly stepped outside; "whoa, CAMPING!" "like, marshmallows and campfires and shit!" then a girl's voice said "why don't you ever take me camping, you son of a bitch?" And they left. Fucking Vegas.
It makes you think. I've run into some degenerate gamblers who have busted out there on a couple of different occasions.

My gay cousin is dating a ballet dancer. The dancer had the lead part (primo balleriner?) in the Nutcracker. I figured this was like the ultimate trophy boyfriend of the gay world. Let me know if you meet him.

That's a freaking long time to hang. Let's hope they are all right handed clips.
In 12 minutes you could clip with your eyelashes.
