I had a heck of time getting the flip4mac plug in work but now it's working just fine and I'm enjoying the Giro live!! Vandevelde just crashed and is still down.

Wow, I wonder when we might see that kind of enthusiasm here!!!

By the way guys I am taking the true plunge now, after being on the Felt for about 2 years now, I am upgrading to a bit more serious setup. Had to sell my YZ, and my Felt, and a couple of other Ducati parts I still had laying around....but I came up with the funds for ....'09 Orbea Orca-54, Campy Chorus 11spd group, had to cut some corners on the wheels in order to stay within budget guidelines. Going crazy waiting for it now though. The Felt was a great bike, but I was properly "fitted" for it, and the LBS up here let me test ride about 6 different bikes with different components etc. before finally making my final choice...the proper fit was huge for me though, helped to resolve a couple of issues

Talk about hurry up and wait though, it's killing me now......

@Sterling Schweet on the ride bro. That sounds awesome. Get your sister to work a corner a couple a nights a week and you can upgrade to Super Record :-D
har har har but for real, Chorus is great stuff. I'm sure you will love the new ride.

The Giro coverage on universalsports.com is unbelievable. Yesterday it wouldn't load full screen but today, I had it full screen on my mac. Watched the whole race while Sharon and I got office stuff done.It was truly amazing. Blows away Versus TdF coverage with 80% commercials and 20% coverage.

Too bad Jens Voigt got caught in the final kilos. I was hoping he would get another win. Great rider and getting a little older so the wins don't come that often.

Tomorrow the climbs are even tougher. Can't wait to see what the real GC men start doing!! :smt038

Ok, got it Thursday, rode 40 miles Friday morning. Thing is silky smooth and climbs like crazy. Man what a difference it makes having a bike that's actually setup for you. I had to go with the Matte Black, reminds me of my original 749 Dark!!![/img]

Today is the last stage of the Giro. It's been a great three weeks.
