Liege-Bastogne-Liege: Poached Priview


They call it La Doyenne, which translates as "the oldest" or "the dean." In other words, it's a classic amongst the classics. Surf on over to Pez for a nice preview of tomorrow's race.

Why not watch the highlights from last year's race as well?



Remember that this is the last race for the 2009 FGBC Spring Classics Pool. It is also a monument, which means big numbers are up for grabs again. If things go just right for Andy or Rachel, it is possible the Mike will get bumped off the top podium step with a final lunge to the finish line. That would be fun.

Of course, the end of the Spring Classics Pool means that the 2009 FGBC Giro d'Italia Pool is just around the corner. We'll try something a little different this year. Stay tuned for details.

Anybody up for a Sunday ride? I'm thinking BHP race course, late afternoon.

Sounds like a good plan. Jonny G and I were talking about somthing as well. How late is "late"?

TBD. The boy may phone from the UK, so it is a bit uncertain right now. If you need a for sure, I could say 4:30.

We will figure something out. If nothing else, we could probably meet up en route somewhere. Send me an email with your phone number.

Thanks. It's good to be back--cold and potholes notwithstanding.
