    I bet they'd sign anything given they probably don't often get offers. Try and see if they'll sign your lower-lower back

        Starting a stage in Wyoming... There's no place bad enough in Utah to start a stage so we had to go to the ugly stepsister? Ugh. I suppose it's cool they're touring the whole state, but I miss taking a couple of days off work so I could catch the whole race.

          I just noticed this and was pleasantly surprised to see a BBB appearance.

            Just watched the peloton race by my neighborhood. Cadel Evans was in there somewhere. There were probably a few other notables, but I don't follow cycling closely enough to know. I've ridden this loop they're riding today, minus the 40 mile mammoth creek section. It's a crazy climb up to Brian Head--I wish I could have watched that part. We'll head back downtown to watch the finish--that was really fun last year.
            At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

              The app has a live stream, which is nice for those outside of Utah.

                  That was crazy. Can't tell what caused it exactly. He was wobbling, but then out of nowhere he flipped like Indiana Jones jammed a stick in his spokes.
                  Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                    Wow! It's almost like he hit a dead deer or something on the shoulder. He wobbled as he saw it at the last minute and then it threw him over the top. Scary.
                    I told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.

                      It was probably the Italians. They usually use a frame pump.

                          It looks like he wobbles and then catches his wheel sideways in a crack. I shouldn't watch stuff like this, I'm just starting to feel comfortable on my bike again.

                            That's what it looked like to me. I've not yet caught a wheel in a crack, but they always make me nervous.

                              This video says he hit one of the markers on the road. If you watch closely, there is a stick or something standing straight up that he hits.

                                Here's a screen shot just before he bites it. I'm not sure what the talking heads would be referring to when they mention a marker, but I see no evidence of that. It looks like he gets a little too into the soft stuff and when he tries to correct out of it, washes out his front wheel, torquing it 90 degrees. And therefore launching him into the Superman.
