  1. OLN did not carry the Giro bike race in Italy today, or at least not in our area. Who won the stage
    and how tough was it up those 18% grades near the end?

    Too bad you missed that. Paul Sherwin mentioned parts as 22 and 27 percent. I haven't heard of 27 on
    any major paved road here in the USA, parts of Mt. Washington are what, 22. Priests grade here has
    parts at 20. Nice shots from the air show the grade. Reminds me of Priests grade. Marco really
    grinding it out at the end. Good action! I remember a climb called Hells Kitchen in the Tour De Pont
    where the riders had to get off and walk up the grade and some fell over climbing the grade. I
    always wondered how steep that part called Hells Kitchen was.

    You must be referring to the Tour DuPont.

    The climb is called Devil's Kitchen in the Catskills area (Hell's Kitchen is a neighborhood in
    Manhattan, also referred to as Clinton). The climb is about 1100 vertical in about 2 miles, for an
    average grade over 10%. This climb also led to the famous Raul Alcala "cooked in da kitchen" quote,
    refering to Vladislav Bobrik's loss of the leader's jersey in the Tour DuPont. (Google Devils'
    Kitchen or John Verheul for the thread)

    No, he just recognizes the value of having people post results in the header.

    Clinton is what real estate agents, politicians, and tourists call Hell's Kitchen. It's marketing,
    like calling little Italy, and the zone above Houston, east of Broadway, 'Nolita'.

    Bruce, There are a bunch of Bikers that I talk with regularly that would agree with you. My guess
    is that they'd love to kick Billy boy's ass given the chance. The Heart and Soul of the original
    "Iron Horse" magazine was in Hell's Kitchen.

    Bill, wake up. He isn't president anymore. You're obsessed. Anyway it was renamed "Clinton" a few
    decades before a certain Southern governor (BTW, Dewitt Clinton was governor of New York). Real
    estate agents have been renaming parts of New York since around the time they started putting
    streets in north of Washington Square. Unless you think we should go back to calling Foley Square
    "Five Points."
