Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Fine start thus far in The Tour of California for Lance Armstrong.

Mods, nice job on a full first page of Lance threads.

Anyone know how the weather was at the TOC yesterday?

You can post what you want. there just doesn't need to be a new thread every time Lance poops or writes something on his twitter. There are several catch-all Lance threads.

If you don't like it, don't go into the thread. It's quite simple, really.

umm no it's really not. the front page of the board gets weighed down and clogged with multiple threads that say the same exact thing. and the whole 'don't read them thing' makes people who have interest in that new content get shafted because actual new content gets lost.

if you don't like my comments, don't read them.

That still doesn't make sense (laughing). If the first three pages of the forum are all Lance, you still don't have to click on any of the threads.

You are making a decision to get involved. Whereas with your highly educated and informative posts, I still have to read them as they are in a thread which I chose to read.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time grasping that there are people who are interested in reading the latest Lance news, just not the same news item over and over and over in threads with titles that say little more than "Lance!" and the content proves to be the same as the past three threads.

Whatever.
