  7. i agree whole heartedly with your post. for to have someone who is not a
    trained cyclist to make it up l' alpe d'huez is quite a feat in it's own.
    being someone who cycles to supplement my marathon running training i do not
    know if i would be able to make it up that course any faster than sheryl
    has. i just wonder why people seem to despise her so much.

    Look what happend to Eldrick (Tiger) Woods once he got

    Hard to focus on two difficult tasks.

    I was channel surfing and came across a piece on VH1 about
    her fitness. They didn't show her working out too much, but
    she said she rock climbs, surfs, runs and rides horses. But
    her body totally impressed me. She looked like a very
    hardcore aerobic athlete. Like if she showed up at a race
    (with good position on the bike) I'd think "watch her."

    Very impressive.

    LA was married and growing a family while winning five TDFs.
    And during that last one, dealing with his disintegrating
    marriage and, presumably, other relationship issues.

    He's in a much simpler and less distracting situation now.

    Well, she is an avid runner, so I'd assume her
    cardiovascular system is in good shape.

    1. Jealousy

    2. Our pet village idiot Callistus has some weird issues
    with women. Especially blond ones. Check the archives
    for his previous fixations if you dare.

    p.s. I'm jealous she got to ride up Alpe d'Huez (and
    impressed).

    90 minutes is damn slow for that course, but it's faster
    than most humans can manage, I guess.

    In the OLN bit on Lance's apartment (like a "MTV Cribs"
    segment, wasn't it?) Lance mentioned Cheryl is a "chamois
    expert" - seems like a serious cyclist to me.

    She rides, but Lance doesn't play guitar...who's the pro in
    that house?

  16. i think people are disappointed when their hero's turn out to be
    regular people who screw around on their wives and break up their
    family with two small children for some self-indulgent rock star muff
    diving fantasy - especially when the wife sacrificed all for the one
    with the [censored]. This is no to mention a bit of Actovegin and
    corticosteroids and close consultations with DR Hematocrit Ferrari

    <Connelly>

    1100 meters gain / 90 min = 0.2 vertical meters/sec (730 VAM
    in Ferrari terms)

    That's if she started right at the base, if the TT course
    has a flat part at the beginning that takes some of the
    90 minutes.

    </Connelly>

    Sure it's nowhere near what the pro men's peleton does, but
    it's still quite respectable for a 90 minute effort for a
    recreational rider.

    In fact, I'd say it's not just respectable but downright
    suspicious. David Walsh will be by shortly to collect blood
    and urine samples.

    That ascent is ugly, it's a highway that happens to climb at
    8 or 10%. I guess one "has" to do it. If you're ever in the
    neighbourhood, at least ride the Glandon/Croix de Fer as
    well. Beautiful.

  20. Everyone does know she is over 40 as well, right? ........... not some young spring chicken ..........

    All the plastic surgery doesn't hurt her looks, that's for sure, she certainly doesn't look over 40 ..........
