Blogging has been a sporadic past time. However if you have any interest in sport and life it would be wrong not to comment on potentially the story of the year. Lance Armstrong was the only cyclist that moved out of the consciousness of the cycling public and into the public consciousness. His story was not only compelling but exciting. He gave America a knowledge about the Tour due France and a hero to follow against the nasty Europeans. Unfortunately he was a liar a cheat and worse a bully.
Is cycling damaged for good for the tour followers yes. However the signs of a revival are good. The revival is coming from two unlikely places. The first place is the uk a non-traditional place for the two wheeled past time. The other place is women, GB cycling has made super stars out of these untainted girls and that it is where all the positives for cycling lie.
