Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Cool. Who would've know what was to happen a few years later. I wonder how many backmarkers of today are future Tour champions.

Yeah, it is a real disgrace to get passed by a 5 time grand tour champion Just ask Jan and Ivan how it feels, um, no, wait a minute you would have to ask him what it is like to be passed by a 7 time champion.

Big Mig was scary. personally, i think he was more personally dominant than Lance; although Lance may have more Tour wins, they are due in no small part to the support of his team. Indurain was like some sort of machine, winning through pure physical ability; Lance was a much more "cerebral" rider, incorporating a complex team strategy to stay in front. this isn't to say Indurain wasn't a canny racer; nobody wins five tours without a firm grasp of strategy. but it was his unstoppable power in the time trials and climbing ability that made him a winner...

English Mincemeat Pies

eight 2-1/2 inch pie shells
1-1/2 cups mincemeat

Mincemeat Filling (yields 3 qts)

1/2 lb beef suet, chopped fine
4 cups seedless raisins
2 cups dried currants
1 cup coarsely chopped almonds
1/2 cup coarsely chopped candied citron
1/2 cup coarsely chopped dried figs
1/2 cup coarsely chopped candied orange peel
1/4 cup coarsely chopped candied lemon peel
4 cups coarsely chopped, peeled and cored cooking apples
1 & 1/4 cups sugar
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
2 & 1/2 cups brandy
1 cup dry sherry
Combine the suet, raisins, currants, almonds, citron, figs, orange peel, lemon peel, apples, sugar, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and cloves in a large mixing bowl and stir them together thoroughly.

Pour in the brandy and the sherry and stir with a large spoon until all the ingredients are moist.

Cover the bowl and set the ingredients aside in a cool place (do not refrigerate) for at least 3 weeks. Check the mixture each week and replenish the absorbed liquor with more brandy and sherry, using about 1/4 cup each time.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Place about 3 tbsp of mincemeat into each pastry shell and cover with sheet of pastry, crimping the edges with a fork.

Place the stuffed pies on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Let pies cool then remove from tin and serve with whipped cream or Brandy Butter.

hehe - good vid. Armstrong has obviously learned a lot about TT since then.

Good gawd - Armstrong not personally intimidating? Did you see him crush all comers when he was seperated from his team last year? Basso, Ulrich, Vino - they couldn't touch him.

OK, who we talking about here? Indurain or Armstrong, or Hinault, or Merckx, or LeMond for that matter?

Did Indurain race in other races or did he save himself for the TdF?

He won an Olympic gold didn't he?

Here's what *I* got out of Rad's post:

"Both Indurain and Armstrong were fantastic riders. To try to compare them, whether through the results of one race or a lifetime of accomplishments, would result in trite arguments. The only conclusion that one could reasonably arrive at is that they were both great: no facts can prove that one was better than the other, so time spent trying to derive that conclusion is wasted."

I think it's fair to say that for the most part Indurain posts a great palmares while LA has an excellent training program for winning the TDF. I don't think either would argue a lot. We all know LA and his team perfercted this methodology and make no bones about it. Indurain was a complete cyclist and i feel his racing schedule was better for the sport overal...their records are not even comparable

I would categorize the two this way: Indurain a great champion, Armstrong the greatest TdF champion. Indurain attempted and accomplished more in his career than LA. Having said that I believe that even though the Tour was still the biggest race of the year during Indurain's time it took on even more significance during Lance's.

Worthless post?

1. The thread is worthless to begin with - sure it's an interesting video from 13 years ago, but without an opinion, question or statement as to why it's being posted accompaning the link, it comes off as an intentional stirring of the "for you silly Americans who think Lance is a god, here's another example of him getting beat" pot. Particularly given who posted it.

2. As Mr. Euro continues to publicly use an out of context quote and insinuate that I use alternate identities in every one of his posts - I feel I need to react accordingly once in awhile.

In this case, I felt it was the perfect thread for a "I like pie" response.
