Yeah, I know...that's not a thing. Welp, it is today. We haven't had a cycling post in here in a good minute and in honor of one of my FAVORITE times of the year, The Tour de France, I thought I'd make one. One month, 21 stages, crashes, mechanical failures, sprint finishes, riders dropping out, teams imploding...just great drama. I love it.

Bruh crashed on Saturday...the first fucking day of the Tour. The result was a busted eye and a fractured clavicle. He got back on the bike and finished the stage: https://www.chron.com/sports/article/Houston-s-Lawson-Craddock-crashes-at-Tour-de-13056936.php

Being a Houston dude, he has pledged to donate to the Hurricane Harvey relief for every stage he can complete...and challenged others to do the same. He prolly finished Stage 1 on pure adrenaline, but after he woke up on that next morning, dude had to be in agony. He's currently riding in Stage 5 as I type this. I don't see it being humanly possible for him to finish the Tour. Certainly would be amazing, if he did. I can't even imagine how uncomfortable it is to support himself on the bars with that fracture. It's virtually impossible for him to get up and pedal, which means he has to stay in the saddle the entire time. Imagine riding 120 miles in the saddle the whole time, LOL...that's mind-boggling.

So...what's good? Y'all riding? New bikes? Repairs on old joints? Stories? Querstions? (c)my mother
