Big George

Some say that I haven't really been keeping the fair weather cycling fans up to date adequately on my blog - there have been private inquiries about my feelings for the whole Landis affair, about Levi Leipheimer's move to Discovery next year, and about my dad's continually increasing fitness, speed and power. This isn't the forum to address any of those things, because they aren't really about me.

But, in a rare divergence from policy, I have to give kudos to Big George Hincapie today. He's had a rough year, crashing out in Paris-Roubaix and not really doing anything in the TdF. But today he won the US Pro in his adopted hometown of Greenville, SC, and will get to wear the stars and bars jersey for the next year. Hopefully there will be tiny replicas of said jerseys available in Greenville, and hopefully Cam and Thomas will want to send one to their friends. Wink wink. (I'm only 16 mos and 25 days, but I wear 18-24 mos. size right now).

Anyhoo, way to go George. This is the greatest thing to happen to Greenville since they built that wall around Bob Jones University.
