England has really transformed to bicycle friendly since the dominance of the Sky guys at the Tour the past 5 years.  Chris Froome is racing this morning.  The race was stopped 47km in because they were catching up with the Tour, which has 10’s of thousand participates.  There are a lot of link to the race. The live streaming was supposed to start at 9:30 CST, but since the race was held up, they seem to be behind.  I’m sure they will start the streaming soon, so pick one and sit back and enjoy.   Links to race.

Rainy morning at Starbucks in Topeka. It is clearing though and we have a ride scheduled for noon.

I wrote a post about what Chris Froome did after the Tour.  A recap, he flew to England, then back to Belgium and raced on Monday, extending the race another day.  Then he did the Ride London 200 km race yesterday and is now flying to Rio to try to win a medal at the Olympics.

Here is a photo of Tejay, showing what he is doing after his disappointing Tour.  Maybe Tejay is going to try to sneak in a start with Peter Sagan in the Olympic MTB race?  Pretty disappointing photo all around.

At least there is some good news as Ryder Hesjedal is retiring.

Tour of Utah is going on live this morning if you need something to do for a bit.

Can you believe it is August already?
