Busy Monday

Following a pretty slow weekend, which itself followed a pretty slow week, today has been quite hectic (I've worked on nine websites thus far today). I suppose everyone's trying to get last minute tasks completed before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Anyway, posting will be light around here, all the more so since I just received in this afternoon's mail -- courtesy of the wonderful folks at Time Warner Book Group -- a hot-off-the-press copy of Chasing Lance, written by Martin Dugard. It's the account of Lance's final professional bicycle race in the 2005 Tour de France, and I'm really looking forward to reading it. Watch for a review within the next week or so.

Do you really think it will be his last? I wonder, after the French tried to discredit him, if he won't ride again.

Gwynne, I haven't read anything that leads me to believe that he's going to unretire. He's got nothing left to prove, and another win wouldn't stop the slander/libel...it would probably increase it. Plus, even Lance can't beat the calendar; there's always the chance he might not win if he tried again, and I don't think he would accept that possibility. Remember that the TDF is actually a team event; it's not all up to him.

OTOH, he's definitely his own man and you could go broke betting on what he might or might not do!

Ooh, I want to read that book. I really enjoyed "Lance's War" about the 2004 race.

I'm also not getting any high hopes that he'll come back. But it's a weird world.
