wow gilbert!!!

phillipe gilbert swept the three ardennes classics, with his final win today at liège-bastogne-liège.  i think this photo about sums up his awesomeness and his laughing at the schleck's while sitting up barely tops his last year's performance at lombardia when he pointed to his race number, 1.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpRNg8bIzIE&wl#t=10m00s  so congrats gilbert on a sweep of the ardennes classics.  chapeau!

come on spring!

it's february and spring is around the corner.  it was nice to keep the cycling jacket in the closet today.  a base layer and long sleeve jersey were enough.  although, i was very happy that i opted for the shoe covers.  my toes are always cold.  march (and my birthday) are almost upon us, as well as the spring classics.  more on my birthday later!  some of my favorites are milan-san remo,  paris-roubaix, and liège–bastogne–liège.  can't wait!
