Uh oh. I hope this was not as bad as posting the Polish National Team or that Lampre guy.
Curiously, I sometimes reference this video with other cyclists and some of them have no idea about it.

The video used to be blocked, which was a little heavy-handed, I thought. I wonder if the BF powers-that-be had a change of heart or if the video is just at a new URL.

Fun Fact: PA's largest city is named after a town in TN. This is where Ben Franklin got the idea for a library, probably.

In yacht racing, anyone with the right boat and the entry fee gets to compete against the best in the world, and they’re not freaks of nature, they’re just way smarter than you. It’s beyond humbling. They sometimes yell at you too.

They sure do yell, and it's usually obscenities like "room", "starboard" and "up."

*I* passed it by without looking at it, which is common because the ratio of interesting to non-interesting, especially regarding the recent seasonal upswing of indoor training paraphernalia, is enough to induce rapid onset coma. Bottom line: I still don’t aim to watch it.

So it’s like an open track meet, pros are liable to show up, participate at your own folly.

And I guess with all the banned books in TN they don't need big libraries.

It was mildly entertaining 10 years ago - I don't know why it ever gained the traction that it did.
