back in the saddle (part 2)

Ever look at your "tight pants" and realize that they are baggy? I do. Actually they are only half-baggy. They fit pretty well on my right leg but as for my left, I might as well be wearing mtb shorts. That will change soon though! I have ridden the trainer for 2.5 hours so far this week.

One of the good things about riding the trainer in the backyard is that it doesn't matter how many cold beers you get from the fridge, the bike stays upright!

that's the spirit!

There's something admirable in this.

Germany Men's [x-c skiing] team skipped Falun relay... partied instead!

The German men’s relay team sat on the sideline and drank beer while Norwegians, Italians, Swedes, Frenchmen and other nations struggled through the 4 x 10 kilometer relay in warm conditions in Falun, Sweden on Sunday.

FIS and Vegard Ulvang disliked the German ”stunt." They choose not to race the final World Cup race of the season. Instead they brought several kegs of beer and lined up along the course in the sunshine.

- This is not cool, but it’s not mandatory to race. It’s voluntary to start or not, so it’s not much we can do in this case, said Ulvang on Norwegian television.

Overall World Cup winner Tobias Angerer didn't see any problem with their decision not to race.
- We have had a long and good season. The batteries are empty, so we are choosing to stay here today, said Angerer to German television, while a sequence of Germans were cheering for Odd-Bjørn Hjelmeset (of Norway) and drinking beer was shown in the background.
