Greetings from Cape Cod folks.
Yeah, it's raining.
It's been raining for two days.
Mike Armellino drove up here (in his own car; it's about 9 hours from Fairfax) on Thursday, and we got in about 50 miles on the Cape Cod Rail Trail Friday, with a stop at Arnold's for a couple lobster rolls.
Hey, life is tough, eh?
Mike decided to head back today; no sense waiting out the rain.
So, what do I do on the Cape besides eat a lot of seafood?
Well, bike, of course.
Watch Brewster Whitecap games in the Cape Cod League (can't beat it!).
Walk along the National Seashore (absolutely can't beat it!).
I'll be back on the routine Monday.
So, where are my fellow Cranks? Cranking? Or Cranky?
WHAT is this Greg LeMond business?
"Lance (that's Our Boy Lance in case you're wondering) threatened me," Greggy whines. "He threatened my wife, my business, my life," LeMond added to the French sports daily L'Equipe (who else prints this sh*t?). "His biggest threat consisted of saying that he (Armstrong) would find 10 people to testify that I took EPO."
So what are you going to do, Greggy? Take your bike and go home?
GET OVER IT!
Geez, has this guy EVER gotten over the fact that he has been overshadowed by OBL?
OBL probably did everything little Greggy says he did! Cyclists are like that. Especially OBL.
I will never buy or ride a LeMond. You can count on that, Greggy.
And what's with the spelling of LeMond anyway? Think you're French or something, Greggy?
And what about My Guy Jan?
If only MGJ had a team ...
"This time from the first day each second will count," says MGJ, as if that hasn't ALWAYS been the case, oui?
"I will seize every chance to wear the yellow jersey. I have the impression that this time I'm at 95 percent of my fitness."
Way to go, Jan! Why be 100 percent of your fitness when you can be 95 percent and have another donut!
"I've made even more effort than usual to eat better," says Jan.
Maybe Armellino has been cooking for him!
That's it from the Cape for now, folks.
Six days to le Tour!

03, the trip sounds great. Mike by himself? I simply don't see it. He seems to be someone that always has "people".
Lemond has been sour grapes for sure most especially when he was the only surviving Tour winner not to show at the centeninal celebration.
BUT, we musn't forget his place in history. He is and will always be the man that put the US on the pro cycling map. He is without doubt one of the greatest innovators the sport has known in the last 50 years.
FYI, Lemond Bicycle Co is owned by Trek (the company that Lance reportedly owns 25% of)
Regarding your accolades so often imparted to the Kaiser, remember this:
1. His team this year is no better or worse then his previous 7 that earned him one win and no less than 4th for his Tour history.
2. One vying for a Tour win will NEVER come to the Tour at 100% as they typically peak during the Tour. LA always targeted to be at 90% for the prolouge.
Cheers. -

All good observations.
Mike drove himself because he planned to leave early. Otherwise, we vacationed together.
This is the first day I saw the sun rise over Seymours Pond. I'm off shortly for a walk along the National Seashore. -
