rbr rest day

Now, it's important on this rest day that you keep relaxed and get your
rest, but make sure you don't pull the rookie mistake of ignoring rbr
altogether. I recommend one or two light posts, just to keep your
fingers moving and prepare them for the final week of the tour. Just
because the Tour is in its last week doesn't mean there can't still be
some major flamewars, or surprise attacks, or, who knows, maybe someone
new in the rbr Maillot Jaundiced.

Current category leaders:

Combativity (red numbers): Callistus Valerius, for an effortless segue
from the RAAM flames

Best New Poster (white jersey): Bob Martin, for the Stage Summaries

Mountain Points (spotted jersey): H squared, excels with twin peaks

Points jersey (I'm green with envy): Benjo often brings up good points.
And he has published a new book! Well, new to the Anglosphere, which is
all that counts.

rbr Tour leader (Maillot Jaundiced): Bob Schwartz, for the "on this day
in the Tour" series.

Underachieving pre-tour favourites:

-Chung's not posting much
-Fabrizio Mazzoleni is clearly past his prime, and definitely should
retire now
-Crit Pro just hasn't been able to keep up with Callistus in the red
numbers contest. I think Callistus' training in RAAM really helped.
-Tom Kunich should make the podium, but must be disappointed.

Meaningless Trivia Time: Bouygues Telecom, Cofidis, Gerolsteiner and
T-Mobile still have all their riders in the race. Quick.Step is missing
the most riders, with all four withdrawals in the last five stages,
including all three of their Belgians. Maybe when Boonen sneezes, the
rest of the team catches cold.

Share & Enjoy,

Do I get a jersey? My idol is the Badger, the last great French Tour
Cyclist that there ever will be. He speaks his mind, whether people can
handle the truth or not. I cut through all the surface fluff and
sentimentality, and get to the core truths. If that offends people, would
the Badger care?

No Badger nickname for you. I hereby dub the, The "Water Buffalo"

I am embarrassed not to be mentioned as leading contender for Flamme
Rouge. Flamme Rouge jersey is power to shame the July Newbies like the
aerstolea198209 dude.

Thanks, Ken

Oh, but my spouse shares the food fetish. She doesn't take pictures
though.

Note, that was a Sodexho restaurant. In the US Sodexho is known for
providing institutional food service of questionable quality. They're
capable of much better.

She looks to have the double chin thing down...

Great. Now the whole ng knows why I'm not Cat 3. I guess it's true what
they say about posting pictures to the Internet...BTW, I also made this:

Let's not even talk about what happens to crab apples.

Um...that's pretty amazing. To be fair, budget makes so much of a
difference. When you're feeding university students, it doesn't pay to
impress them with anything but volume and price. That said, two of those
dishes suffer from FRS (Food Ring Syndrome, in which the chef assumes
that anything shoved into a food ring automatically looks classier), and
the third is labouring under the impression that proving the kitchen has
TWO squirt-bottles of sauce makes for a classy presentation.

That's not to say the food is bad, mind; I can't taste it. But I can
tell it's suffering from some pretty hackneyed presentation clichés.

Here's a chef trying a little harder:

Yes, but since it is a sushi restaurant they serve it raw.
