Tour Tracker Tech

Here is the technology that enables the Tour Track at the Tour de Georgia website. We'll put these in the Com cars leading and following the race as well as on 5 or 6 riders. The units have lithium ion batteries and SIM cards that constantly communicate with multiple satellites to show you exactly were the riders are on the road.

Family Fun with Housewive's Favorite

While this is not the highly collectable 'Amore Amitte' recording of Richard Virenque, this game is also worthy of attention. Follow the link and you can also find a large number of cycling inspired games from various countries at the bottom of the page. Most of them seem to be variations on the king of road themed car games, 'Mille Bornes' with the addition of a board and colorful cycling figurines. It is well worth a gander.

Here we see VDB during headier days sporting the subject discussed in a previous twojohns podcast.

Eddy Merckx - Metrosexual?

We spotted this lady at the race this weekend and thought, "where have we seen those glasses before?" "Ah yes", we remembered, on none other than the cannibal in the lastest issue of Cycle Sport. The race fan says her glasses are imitations but Eddy's are most probably authentic Prada's.
