This phenomena is wellknown from big sports events such as the football world championships - people who have dedicated their last three four weeks to watching every game descend into depression after it´s over. I´ve spent my vacation cycling and watching the Tour and blogging about the Tour for a newspaper - so WHAT SHALL I DO NOW? I mean it, it´s horrible.
Train more and take a nap!
Wait for the CERA tests to come back 
.
Who won? I haven’t been following it.
Seeing you may have ignored your girlfriend, spouse, significant other and/or people you care about, make emotional bank account deposits seeing you probably made lots of withdrawls! That should eat up a lot of time!
So, what do you think about Armstrong’s chances next year? And what will the Radio Shack uniforms look like? And where will Contador wind up? Now that the gloves are off between Al contador and Lance Armstrong- and Armstrong gets another year to train- how will this shake out? and what about the brothers…
How many sprints can The Man from the Isle of Man win in one race?
All questions to ponder until next July.
now we can bike more

Hey now. I expect to see some discussion about TRIATHLON around here now.
I get TDF withdraw as well. I go from watching tv for three hours a day to almost nothing which gives me a lot of extra time. On top of that my wife mentioned today that our kids are starting school in three weeks! Where did the summer go?
What, with quality t.v. programming like this, the transition should be easy:
back to deadliest catch, dirty jobs and whale wars as the only tv i watch…
watching the World Swimming Championship in Roma, then hang on until Kona 
.

Should I consider myself lucky to only recognize Oprah?
Who is that luscious lady with the big mound… of food?
Yeah, I guess. Soon I´ll start putting in some serious training volume ahead of the Barcelona Challenge in october! But it´s such a great way to relax after training - the day passes on the bike and then when I get home in the afternoon I throw myself on the couch and watch the TdF.
Some things are certain already:
- George Hincapie will be on Team Radioschack!
- Johan Bruyneel will be the sports director (a nobrainer)
- Cadel Evans will team up with Team Radioschack.
- Andy Schleck might win it next year, because I don´t think even Contador can win it by himself.
- Contador will suit up for some spanish squad, maybe sponsored by Santander as was rumoured. Or maybe Caisse d´ Epargne.
- Team Radioschack´s jerseys will feature the Livestrong logo (another nobrainer)
- Team Astana will disband and Levi Leipheimer and Chris Horner will join Radioschack.
- Radioschack will use Trek bikes and Hed wheels.
Lance will certainly be a contender in TdF 2010, but I don´t see him winning. I think he might give a more serious go at the classics. Tony Martin could be one for the podium if he improves his climbing, but he´d have to switch teams because Columbia rides for Mark Cavendish for the green jersey.

“Like sands through the hour glass…”
;]
YEAH. I like that 
No worries here. I have the every single stage from 05,06,07,08, & 09 taped. Getting ready to buy a capture card for the computer to convert them all to DVD. I must say that this was the most boring of all the TDF’s.
