That video was awesome. They actually stopped and looted stores on the route??? Nice!

Interesting. Which is a greater feat of engineering, threadless steerers or twist-off (threaded) bottle-caps?

Yes, that part was just awesome.

All that glass is a bit worrying!

That’s what I was thinking. Can you imagine crashing with 20 lbs of glass bottles in your jersey!?

I’m really trying to avoid imagining that. Shudder.

Don’t need to. I can open bottles with my wedding ring.

Ahh, the good ole days! I can’t believe we’re even still allowed to watch footage of dudes riding w/o helmets…

That is one man who is determined to get a drink! Try… Again!.. Again!.. Again!..Again!! Ehhh… hell with it, i’ll just use my teeth!

Awesome

My 17 year old daughter and I were watching rerund of the '02 and '03 tours the other night. She said, “Dad, why don’t those idiots have on their helmets?”

Priceless!
