On nov 13 2002 i posted the message further down (excerpt). Last week-end i was in Gordes and I climbed part of the Ventoux from Bédoin. I was surprised when...
Francois, You are making me envious again! I will print out your data and use them in the first week of June when I hope to climb Ventoux from all sides. Next...
Do any US KOMers have any knowledge of the Philadelphia area? My employer is asking me if I would go there to work on site for a while. They are also planning...
Hi all... first off. I enjoy reading all your comments regarding killer hill work. I just moved from a rural portion of BC, Canada to Toronto, Ontario, Canada....
I'm sure there is some riding to be done nearby but no hills worth doing I'm afraid ... From: Nigel White [mailto:Nigel.White@...] Sent: Friday, March...

You can always climb Manayunk! It's on the U.S. Champs course held every June. There's decent riding outside of Philly, heading northwest. I'm not too...
... Yes, and the countryside is quite beautiful up in Bucks County. (You can rock climb there too). If you cross the river to NJ it is very pretty there as...
Of course, if you venture a bit further west in PA, you can find longer climbs, including 4-5 km at 8-9%. In fact, I may have a cue sheet of an 85 km route...
Well, I think Lance will be hurt by the split from his wife and kids. I think that this will play into his over mental state and will be a determent to him....
... I agree. As well as making him upset, any distraction that would disrupt his focus would be detrimental. I recall the effect that separation had on Gianni...
Regarding the Lance concern about separation on his tour performance, from his book, he channeled his anger about his dad into triathalons. Some people are...
The UCI should make more efforts to make the riders wear crash helmets when racing. I know they don't like it, and they *usually* get away without life ...
Agree, although it's a tough call when the weather is incredibly hot or when climbing in hot weather. The only time I don't wear a helmet is on an alpine climb...

I feel naked without a helmet. In British Columbia, helmets are mandatory for cyclists. We get a fine if we don't have it. A month ago now I have been hit by a...
... Tough call? How hot could it be? Are we talking the Sahara desert or Death Valley? You can't tell me that it is ever too hot, in the mountains of ...

Hi Scott, guess you answered before reading what Darren was saying. For your information, in hot weather, even in cycling events in which wearing a helmet is...
You must remember that comfortable levels of heat or cold depends on the climate that you are used to. With all due respect, climbing an alpine climb in mid...

The Fargo Street Hill Climb will take place on Sunday, March 16, in Los Angeles. The ride is 1/10th of a mile, with a 33% incline. If you are in the area, come...
OUCH! That kind of effort surely isn't good for you. Enjoy. ... a 33% incline. - it takes one to three minutes ...

Another parallel on the helmet / hot weather issue just came to mind. Racing drivers endure some very hot conditions in the car during a race, but no one ...
I think we should treat the racers like adults, if they don't want to wear a helmet then they are doing so at their own risk and not anyone elses. What...
Lance is rather Callous and self centered!! No, Lance is a winner, we cannot judge top sports people by normal people's standards. Most sports are now so...
... That is true, but not at the expense of compassion and kindness toward others. While spectating at a pro race in Italy I found myself next to the wife of a...
The thing that seems strange to me is that supposedly Armstrong is a real family man, however he has won 4 Tour de France you would think that he would take a...
