http://koalabear721.blogspot.com/2013/07/2013-tour-de-france-stages-4-5.html

Blood, Sweat, and Gears. To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.". Wednesday, July 3, 2013. 2013 Tour de France Stages 4-5. Here is an brief summary of stages 4 and 5 of the 2013 Tour de France:. This stage was a team time trial. As one of my Twitter-friends said, "A team TT is a perfect blend of teamwork, sport, and art"(c/o @Beal88. I couldn't have said it better myself. As much as I would have loved Jan Bakelants to remain in Yellow some more, with only 1" separating him and a ...

Blood, Sweat, and Gears: You Gotta Think Ahead!

http://koalabear721.blogspot.com/2011/06/you-gotta-think-ahead.html

Blood, Sweat, and Gears. To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.". Saturday, June 18, 2011. You Gotta Think Ahead! Safety on the bike (or at anytime) is extremely important. When I first started riding my bike, I never carried any ID or a cell phone; I was testing fate that something would happen and no one would know who I am. A few summers ago, I was watching Le Tour de France, and Bob Roll (love him! I am not being endorsed by RoadID. These are my opinions and stories, but ...

Blood, Sweat, and Gears: "You Might Be A Schleck-Neck"

http://koalabear721.blogspot.com/2012/05/you-might-be-schleck-neck.html

Blood, Sweat, and Gears. To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.". Sunday, May 20, 2012. You Might Be A Schleck-Neck". My 2nd and 3rd favorite cyclists are the Schleck brothers, but sometimes its fun to make-fun of them. I mean really, they can't even place 1st on my favorite list. :). I believe Dan Wuori (@dwuori) started the #mightbeaschleckneck hash-tag on twitter this morning, but it soon was used by other users:. If you abandon the Giro before Mark Cavendish. Final 2013 TdF M...

Blood, Sweat, and Gears: Frank Schleck Let Go

http://koalabear721.blogspot.com/2013/07/frank-schleck-let-go.html

Blood, Sweat, and Gears. To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.". Thursday, July 4, 2013. Frank Schleck Let Go. Okay, you all know how I feel about the Schleck Brothers, so I'm sure you think I'm biased. I probably am, but I'm still not sure why Radioshack Leopard Trek let Frank Schleck go 11 and a half months into his 12 month suspension. Shouldn't this have happened last July? Or maybe not at all? There was no room for a sprinter on a team build around GC contenders. The Luxemb...

Blood, Sweat, and Gears: Bruyneel vs. Schlecks / 'Angry' Cavendish

http://koalabear721.blogspot.com/2012/05/bruyneel-vs-schlecks-angry-cavendish.html

Blood, Sweat, and Gears. To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.". Friday, May 25, 2012. Bruyneel vs. Schlecks / 'Angry' Cavendish. Johan Bruyneel has pretty much just said that the Schleck brothers look like they won't make his Tour de France team this year. I'm honestly not surprised considering how poor their results have been this year. I mean even if we combine Frandy's results (Frank and Andy, for those of you not up on the Twitter lingo), they still suck this year! In a mon...

Blood, Sweat, and Gears: May 2013

http://koalabear721.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Blood, Sweat, and Gears. To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.". Sunday, May 12, 2013. Once in a while a cycling article will come out, and its too either sweet or too funny to forget. This is one of them. What happens when the oldest, or most "mature", rider on a team rooms with the youngest? I wish I could say there is a punchline to that, but I can't think of any. Voigt and Jungels: RadioShack's Tour of California Odd Couple. Amgen Tour of California. In Italy. He also ra...

Blood, Sweat, and Gears: 2013 Tour de France Stage 8

http://koalabear721.blogspot.com/2013/07/2013-tour-de-france-stage-8.html

Blood, Sweat, and Gears. To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.". Sunday, July 7, 2013. 2013 Tour de France Stage 8. This is late because I admit that I had no motivation last night. I'm going to warn you now that I may not do every stage recaps. I used to force myself to write and then it wasn't fun. I don't want this to feel like a job, so I will post when I can. Robert Gesink attacked the peloton and Thomas Voeckler tried to bridge to him. The back of the peloton fell apar...
