Cycling is not for whimps, or, this Giro is Wacky!

Some photos taken at the Giro d'Italia by Graham Watson:

The Giro has been wacky from the beginning. Some of it may be due to Calif. sucking away some of the top riders, but never mind; it's been really exciting to watch.

And the mud stage on Saturday made our beautiful weather ride even tastier!

I feel bad for the mechanics who have to clean all those bikes...

I switched my cable provider just so I could get Universal Sports (and it saves about $60 a month by combining it with phone/internet).

I love being able to watch the Giro - but I admit the announcers are nothing like Phil, Paul & Bob.
