So I already said on Sunday that I thoroughly enjoyed the Tour de France here in 2009. Part of it was some real quality and clean racing. Part of it was the return of Astana to the Tour. A big part of it was pulling for some quality American racers — Levi Leipheimer, George Hincapie and [...]

There are so many sad stories and annoyances as a cyclist, but man, there are a ton of great feelings that come out of being a cyclist as well — so many more that outweigh the negatives, the tragedies, injuries, etc. These are the things that make it worth the time, the risk and the efforts. So this is a post that I'm hoping with generate a lot of comments that can help expand the article, list. Basically, I want it to grow and consist of a bunch of sentences, paragraphs, etc. of reasons why it's great being a cyclist. I'll start out posting a few tonight, and then will add new ones as they come to me, are experienced, etc. I'm hoping you all will contribute as well via the comments. There only two simple rules: 1. Keep it clean 2. Start your comments with the idea being "It's Great Being a Cycling When…" Congrats to Contador, Armstrong and the rest of the Astana crew for an amazing and exciting Tour de France. I'm sure they're more than ready to ride into Paris. I was glued to the Tour this year unlike any Tour of the past and am kind of sad it's already wrapping up. It really flew by! Inside [...] It's official. Like I said earlier, I wish it were another American company, but kudos to Radio Shack for sponsoring a pro American team. Look forward to see them next season. RadioShack Partners With Seven-Time Tour de France Winner Lance Armstrong to Form New Cycling Team in 2010 Lance on Radio [...] So I'll be behind any Lance Armstrong / Johan Bruyneel professional squad, but Radio Shack as the main sponsor? Really? I really hope this turns out to be false. They should go the Columbia HTC route and get backed by Nike and Apple. But that's just my wishful thinking. Regardless, it's great to see another American [...] Man, there's so much going on with this year's Tour de France and I cannot remember ever watching, reading or enjoying so much of every day's stages ever — not even close. Sure, part of it is Armstrong coming back this season, but it's been just utterly enthralling for me this year, with a lot of guys [...] Interesting take on why Lance Armstrong is staring down his 8th Tour de France later here in July. I hope the author's right, but there are a lot of stages in between now and Paris. Regardless, the Keefer household is pulling for Lance, and really Astana as a whole. Why Lance [...] Man, what a surprisingly interesting (and windy) third day of the Tour de France this morning! Columbia HTC's whole-team break was quite the site. It was also immediately apparent of the combination of good fortune and good positioning that Lance Armstrong and a fellow Astana teammate were able to go with the Columbia squad in the [...] Man, it almost seems like things would have gone better, or at least gotten that much more interesting for the team and the pro peloton had Astana's Kazakh sponsors not come through with their financial backing in the eleventh hour. Instead of the Astana squad, we would have seen team Livestrong-Nike in the 2009 Tour de [...] It looks like now that the Canes are out of the Stanley Cup (and the Penguins are struggling in the finals), the RBC Center is upgrading its central hanging, meaning it's getting four updated high definition screens. There must be a lull in the scheduled events at the arena. It is early in the summer concert [...] |

Ideas for posts for Keefer Madness pop up at the weirdest times. I've been mulling doing something like this for the past couple days, as I'm riding down the road in the saddle — commuting, training, etc.
