This issue really get me going!!!

Cycling is the last sexist main-stream sport. There's no reason that women can't cover the same distances as men, they will always be a few miles an hour slower, but they can cover the distances. I think that the tour should include a women's pelaton either a day ahead or a day behind on the same course. I was so enraged when I found out how short the tour de a'lude was I can't tell you!

Not to get too far off-topic, but the coverage of women's cycling is really abhorent as well. This month's Rodie magazine profiled a woman who has been dropped from t-mobile, and spent more time discussing her modeling career than her riding. Not to mention the playboy type pictures-absolutly disgusting. And I wonder why there are so many dirty old men at most club rides.
