Recap at The Giro?s Halfway Point

Today marked the 10th stage of this year?s 3,525 kilometer (2190+ mile), 21-stage Giro d?Italia. Some of the great racing so far will not soon be forgotten, but unfortunately this year?s 94th edition of the race may be most remembered for the horrible tragedy that befell one of its up-and-coming stars on Monday?s stage 3.

Amgen Tour, Stage 4, Chris Horner?s Climbing Clinic

Team RadioShack?s Chris Horner schooled the peloton at the Tour of California on how to power up the summit on Sierra Road at the end of the 82-mile (132-kilometer) stage from Livermore to San Jose, with a burst of power that must have left heads shaking in disbelief. While everyone was convinced that Levi Leipheimer?s [...]

Tour de France Stage 14 ? The Big One

A beautiful day for a bike race! Blue skies and nice weather (a bit warm) greeted the cyclists at the start line in the city of Saint-Gaudens within sight of the mighty Pyrénées in the south of France. The 169-kilometer course had a shark?s tooth profile and with lots of categorized mountains, a bunched-up group [...]

Klöden 2nd On GC, Horner 4th, as Vino Takes Stage 3 of Basque

Team RadioShack?s Andreas Klöden (GER) could not have relinquished the leader?s yellow jersey at the Tour of the Basque Country, Vuelta Ciclista al País Vasco, in today?s 177 kilometer 3rd stage, under better circumstances.

Who is Your Dream Touring Companion?

I was listening to a podcast the other day when a version of the "If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be?" question was posed. After the the episode ended, I found myself twisting the question around a bit and started wondering who my dream bicycle travel companion would be.

The first choice that popped to mind is my friend Elisabeth. We had a great time together this summer in Colorado. Our styles complimented each other. When I was down, she was up and helped me back and vice versa -- even on our miserable, wet and cold day. We both liked to stop and enjoy the scenery (or a beverage!). Our eyes saw things in slightly different perspectives, opening to new ways to drink in the experience. Why mess with this kind of success?

If I were to go to my fantasy list of companions I would consider Terry Tempest Williams for her view on landscapes large and small, Heidi Swift for her pluck and tenacity or Terry Gross for her curiosity and mad interviewing skills. Or maybe James Taylor to sing me to sleep and up tough hills. Or Jens Voigt for inspiration and grit. It would be hard to choose!

How about you, who would be your dream touring companion(s)?

Bonus question: What route would you take them on?
