What a road! *Thanks for posting that.

I'd feel a lot better if Jobst was in that video.

Did I miss the charter requirement that every post has to somehow be
relevant to a discussion of Lance Armstrong?

If we remove from RBR all posts from either BL, his proxies, and anyone
he might consider a Lance Fanboy, this place gets pretty thin.

NOBODY watched today's stage and thought WOW, I would love to go ride
that? Or, what sort of nutcase (oh crap, I was trying to keep this
LA-free) designs a finish like that? Or how did Paul & Bob Roll screw up
on who crashed (not Sagan)? Or how can Andy hope to win the TdF if he
doesn't feel comfortable descending with the best, preferring to sit off
the back a bit on the descents?

Actually, I want to ride up the Kleine Scheidegg, because it's smaller
and that's where there are the telescopes to watch the climbers on the
Eiger North Face.

After watching the racing, I'm slightly revising my opinion of the
chaotic riding style I've seen on Swiss rides -- it appears that the
local terrain encourages it, as seen in the Tour de Suisse chaotic
finishes.

Since I can't climb at all, I'm going to find Urs Freuler's training
routes http://www.ursfreuler.ch/site/index.php?id=21
