However, it's possible to stay at a castle and take day trips around the Loire Valley very reasonably. The biking is amazing, especially when you come home to a 900 year old castle at the end of the day!<BR/><BR/>http://castlevacation.blogspot.com/mayo1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06476010306692868947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-22953179124737778742008-07-14T22:53:00.000-04:002008-07-14T22:53:00.000-04:00Salutations Sir Bike Snob,I must humbly submit tha...Salutations Sir Bike Snob,<BR/>I must humbly submit that I do require your advice, Snob to snob. I am a Category 3 Elite road racing snob in Northern California, a District where we do have quite superior racing I might add. <BR/><BR/>This very evening I experienced a most distressing incident which I fear I may not have handled in the proper roadie snob manner. I was of course out for a recovery spin this evening. Of course? Yes, OF COURSE, it is after all a Monday, and everyone knows that racing cyclists partake in recovery rides on Mondays because their legs have been thoroughly shredded in noble and chivalrous racing action over the weekend. Everyone knows this it seems, except for the foul pack of knaves who hammered past me this evening on fixed gear bikes while regaled in full hipster attire. I was appalled. But of course I maintained my discipline and kept spinning at 120 watts for I have zone 5 hill intervals to complete tomorrow. Regretably, the road began to tilt upwards to a traffic light at the top of an approaching hill, and my superior power to weight ratio began to cause me to overtake the hipster fixie scum as they thrashed to and fro upon their overgeared machines while struggling to drag their overweight hairy-legged carcasses up the hill. Of course they had no chance of making it through the traffic light, and I cruised up to a stop beside them as the light turned red.<BR/><BR/>This is when IT happenned. The pack of hipsters looked over at me, and began to laugh. Laughing, at ME! Of course I knew better than to attempt to deliver a tongue lashing, for these peasants upon this road that I consider my Estate were beneath my station. I reverted to roadie dignity, and put my chin up with characteristic hateur and proceeded to pretend they did not exist. They soon quieted, finaly beginning to recognize the cycling nobility in their presence.<BR/><BR/>But after the fact, I question my behavior. I feel that perhaps these cycling proletariat should have received a stronger admonishment for their outlandish behavior. Should I perhaps have extended my arm towards them while turning my head away, presenting the backside of my hand for them to kneel down and kiss?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-86928024818881511572008-07-14T07:40:00.000-04:002008-07-14T07:40:00.000-04:00after watching that ride by ricco i realise i've b...after watching that ride by ricco i realise i've become too bitter to trust any strong performance. sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-22369112069631029742008-07-14T06:54:00.000-04:002008-07-14T06:54:00.000-04:00This has gone on long enough RTMS!+ It's really su...This has gone on long enough RTMS!<BR/><BR/>+ It's really sunny in London today and I want to have a picnic..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-23697992476717624052008-07-13T22:50:00.000-04:002008-07-13T22:50:00.000-04:00bsnyc is a long haul ice road trucker in his vacat...bsnyc is a long haul ice road trucker in his vacation landAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-6145035439134700322008-07-13T19:22:00.000-04:002008-07-13T19:22:00.000-04:00I like TURTLES!!!I like TURTLES!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-91285464521301002972008-07-13T16:56:00.000-04:002008-07-13T16:56:00.000-04:00oh gosh i miss you. joh gosh i miss you. <BR/>jAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-75460581633467346062008-07-13T06:23:00.000-04:002008-07-13T06:23:00.000-04:00OMG, only one more day to go... i think i just pee...OMG, only one more day to go... i think i just peed a little in my pants.Shiny Fluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02128050542043120768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-65790929534210169432008-07-12T23:21:00.000-04:002008-07-12T23:21:00.000-04:00Is that paid vacation?

Just when the bike world desperately needs your witty quips and acerbic observations to view the world's most famous bike race through the angry lens of bikesnob truth. Disappearing now is like Howard Cosell not showing up to comment on a Ali championship fight - Howard's favorite punching bag. C'mon, Snob, look at all the ripe punching bags festooning the Tour peloton this week. You missed out. WE missed out.
