Oh, man, I'll have to see if my friend with cable will let me order the on-demand for Stage 17. I missed that one! (I was housesitting for her for most of the other stages and got to see them, but not the all-important stage 17!)

Don't know if any of you have an ON DEMAND feature with your cable. One is offered with mine and for the next month, all the Tour stages will be available to watch at one's leisure (uner Sports and Fitness - OLN - The Tour). I missed a few (due to sillinest like work and all) so will probably go back and watch what I missed.

my friend and I are doing most of our rides in the morning, otherwise since I'm in Texas with all the heat, I can't go. There is only one time that I will gladly get up at 6am and that is when I'm going to ride my bike. We like to laugh at all the people who have to be at work at 8am.

what to dooooo
What to do de do..
Well here are some ideas-invent a biking language, bike to the library the long way, turn your tv off until next july, bike as much as you can, volunteer for road biking/triathlon/mtn biking etc events, find some headwind & learn to love it, find hills & make them your friend and last but not least SMILE....
Non biking things-find the unkown coffee & book shops in your town/state-use the lonely planet..., find all the unkown or underground papers, look for a good book by an unknown author at www.mostlyfiction.com, listen to b sides from your favorite band....
Off to de do deo deoooooo..be bop be bop...shebang shebang, shall lalala shebang shebang..

I've made progress in the seemingly quixotic quest to make hills and headwinds (we have both in ample amounts) my friends... Originally Posted by chickwhorips

It is just one of those attitude things that has a subtle effect. Most people I figure, make progress, albeit slowly, with hills so long as they stick with it.
I was just experimenting the other day with my HRM and noticed that while sitting at home, clenching my teeth/grimacing/etc would cause a small but noticeable change in heart rate. I figure the same is true of one's approach to hill riding.
Don't ask me to ride in the dead of winter though - I haven't psyched myself out enough to do that
