Great cycling moment

As November comes to an end and Christmas is knocking on the door there isn't much cycling going on in my life (except for some sporadic sweating on the "Schwinn spinner"). So why not make a nice cup of coffee and relive some of the fantastic moments of the summer. This fantastic clip is from the finish on Galibier on this summers' TDF (étape 18) or as they say in the clip "une sacre étape". I saw it on french television and there is just so much good here. Andy Schlecks' breakout, Contador who hits the wall, Rolland, Evans and last but not least Thomas Voeckler who struggles like a mad man to stay in yellow. If you know French just listen to the commentators... epic. Voeckler manages to defend his jersey and his yellow bike. Sit back and enjoy and please let it be summer again soon. Chapeau Thomas!

Great Yellow charity

I have to mention what Team Rynkeby are doing. Every summer they get up on their yellow Principia bikes and ride from Denmark to Paris to raise money for Barncancerfonden (fund for children with cancer).
Now there is also a Swedish initiative so in the future they might raise even more than the 4,72 DKK they managed to collect in 2010.
