    You know what? He's not sucking down chocolate bars while playing PS2,
    at least he's out riding a little bit. Hope he keeps at it.

    What's more, it might be motivation to improve himself. Think what a
    tremendous improvement in acceleration he could have by dropping his excess
    weight?

    I hate to point this out, but some of the strongest guys in the world were
    real fatties until they started training seriously.

    Nice stuff. Greg Descantes also covered the BC Superweek events, which
    includes the bookend Tour de Delta and Tour de White Rock events:

    http://www.descantes.com/

    Regarding White Rock, I was there helping out with driving duties. The
    photos aren't up yet, but O'Bee took off in the last few laps and put
    two minutes into the field in short order. I talked to one rider from
    Symmetrics (all-conquering at BC events and regulars at the major US
    events this year), and he said he was able to stay with O'Bee for about
    a quarter of the hillclimb before he cracked.

    http://www.cyclingnews.com/road.php?id=road/2005/jul05/white_rock05

    It was a beautiful thing to regard. I was in the media van as he came up
    the hill on one of the final laps, and when he crested the hill, the
    pack was not visible. And we could see pretty far back along the course.
    It was unbelievable how much time he put into a serious (Healthnet was
    there, among others) chasing pack.

    BTW, that course is brutally hard. Here's a site with the profile:

    http://www.city.whiterock.bc.ca/2005Leisure-Services/Tour-de-White-Rock.h
    tml

    about 600' of gain per 10 km lap, and the last 6 laps were done on a
    shorter 3.8k version of the course that was basically just the first big
    hill and the not-flat-at-all finishing straight. So what's
    that...something over 7000 feet of gain in the men's race.

    It will come as no surprise that the women's race was won by two tiny
    juniors from Quebec. Cyclingnews: "I like the climbs so I liked the
    race," said [Karol-Ann] Canuel with translation from Joelle Numainville.
    Yeah, I'd like the climbs too if I weighed 80 pounds!
