Hi Angel, all. Thanks! Great text and video! A sharp reminder of why we ride and why we ride the way we do. Highly recommended by me.

The DVD is nicely-produced and good preparation, I think.  I have written up a review of it on my blog here: http://www.tindonkey.com/2009/10/compleat-tour-de-basement-part-6-doing.html Leslie Reissner Freezing in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (-22C on the ride to work today) _________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ -- You may enjoy reading my blog: http://www.italiancyclingjournal.blogspot.com
