Cycling isn’t the only sport I like. There was a major pro race in Europe today, Fleche Wallone, won by Italian Davide Rebellin. Cycling – Eurosport.com: Three days after winning the Amstel Gold Race, Davide Rebellin (Gerolsteiner) outsprinted fellow Italian Danilo Di Luca…
Also, 2004 Dodge Tour de Georgia – stage 2 is going on. (I think using Tour de Georgia is silly, just say Tour of Georgia and stop pretending.) There are a number of European pro teams here racing, including USPS. Lance Armstong is downplaying his chances to win but, he’s capable. Just because he’s in the race people want him to win but, he’s focusing on something nobody has yet done, win Le Tour de France for the 6th time. I think that Joop Zotemelk got 2nd place in the Tour 7 times and won once. That is a record that say a lot too. Of course, he was racing during the era of Eddie Mercxk and he (Eddie) raced every race to win, even small races. However, in those days pro cyclists weren’t paid very well at all. Thank goodness rules have come into play and, teams must have a guaranteed bank account with which to pay riders or the pro team cannot race, period.
Anyway, tonight my other sports love, basketball, took center stage. Miami Heat played an awesome game tonight. So far, every game I’ve seen live, they have won and that’s including past years. Maybe I should go more often. *smile* Miami vs. New Orleans
I sat next to a couple that was very friendly and we enjoyed ourselves talking and screaming and jumping up and down. She was VERY cute and sexy (looked to be maybe 25), he was short and thick, very handsome, shaved head, big blond hairy arms and big hands (looked to be about 35). I know about his hands were big because at the end of the game they said, “Nice to meet you and drive safe,” afterwhich they both shook my hand. That’s really geat to know that people can really be friendly and have a good time. *Let’s Go HEAT!*
