If you’re looking for women’ EU Road champs, it looks like it’s not on HBO, but I found it on YouTube

Still buzzing from McNulty’s ride on Sunday, but this was good to see from Pog - he’s a class act, a good champion, and seems to love the sport he’s dominating. Thanks, @escape.escapecollective.com.ap.brid.gy
Clip from Escape Collective’s Spin Cycle newsletter showing Tadej Pogacar out for a ride last week wearing the world champion’s rainbow jersey. The caption mentions that he posted it in honor of his last ride outside in it.

I wish more people understood the level of hyper-awareness and vigilance it takes to ride a bike (or walk!) in so many places across the United States.

when you talk about deserved winners, i'm not sure there are more deserved winners than guys like McNulty. absolutely workhorses that rarely get microphone time or more than a thanks after doing their work. and today he worked for it and earned it. just fucking incredible.

I’m glad to see that Canadia has brought along the European tradition of repaving the race course. Women’s world looks good.

Show idea that GCN* should have done while they still had a budget: Grand Tour (Bikes) - Get an ex-cyclist* and another athlete who rides bikes**. Plus a bike mechanic / tech junkie. Each episode starts with a recap of a historic race, and then the hosts go ride the stage on period bikes.

Picked up my feet and put them down. Repeatedly about 13,000 times. Increased entropy in my local environment. Circumnavigated the river between the Drawbridge and Old Mystic on foot for the first time in a while. Gonna nap, and then dig postholes.

Forgive me Ahnold, for it has been more than two weeks since my last visit to the gym As penance: Picked up steel. Set it down again. Repeated like 100 times. Raised the entropy in my local environment. Did not achieve transcendence. Will try again later.

The most dangerous thing many people do every day is drive their car and almost no one operates a vehicle with that in mind

Watched the highlights for TDFF stage 7, and really, as long as Pog is pogging, we ought to let the Femmes have the three week race and let Pog be done with it in 9 days.

There's a lovely woodchip path near my house that cuts across all of Manhattan and Hermosa Beach. I've long known it's an old rail line but did some historical research today...100 years ago one could take a 45-minute train ride from Manhattan Beach to Downtown LA. It's like 2 hours on transit now.😠

Picked up my feet and put them down. Repeated a couple thousand times. Increased entropy in my local area. Wouldn’t say it felt good, But I’m happy i got out.

Slow down, fellow drivers. Nothing you are trying to do, nowhere you are trying to go is worth another life to save a few seconds or minutes.

Subjecting myself to Peacock’s Tour de France coverage. They’ve been in studio the whole time I’ve been watching, because @nbcnews.com knows I’d rather see Doug Bermeister in a suit than anyone riding a bike. Anyway, RIP the GCN app + a VPN and actually seeing cycling instead of Vandevelde and ads

Woke up in New Haven. Picked up my feet and put them down a couple thousand times. Communed with the dead in Grove St. Cemetery. Increased entropy in my local environment, accelerating the eventual heat death of the universe.
