Some more cycling science

Allen Lim, Ryder Hesjedal, Tour de France stage 7, originally uploaded by Garmin Slipstream Pro Cycling Team.

I don't make this stuff up, I find it and share it because I find it interesting. Slipstream is becoming America's darling cycling team despite the reappearance of LA. I have been a believer that if you want a different result you need to do things differently; the same method will always yield the same result. Slipstream is doing things differently.
This interview with Dr. Allen Lim is full of insight into his systematic approach and ability to think outside the box.

Another Svein Tuft Story today on the front page of the NY Times Sports Section.

I especially like the part where his Mom says “But I want everybody to know that, no, Svein was not an orphan. He was raised by two loving parents. He had his own room, a trampoline, a motor scooter. But he was just looking for something else.”

43 Eagles, 29 cars and 3 flats

That's today's ride summary. I flatted just as I met up with the 3 guys heading north. So we all swung into the pull-out at St. Mary's Spring and I proceeded to fix the flat, with lots of advice, which resulted in wasting the first tube , the second tube's valve stem broke off and then finally I got some air in the third one and we were back on our way.
