Crappy screen grab shot I know but not many pics out there yet.
I managed to win the prologue of the Haute Route Geneva-Nice on Saturday and got to wear the golden fleece on Sunday for the first stage.
I only did the 'compact' which was the TT plus first 2 stages (already did Tour de l'Ain the week before so had used up my spousal approval units).
Stage 1 Gva-Megeve- slept like crap, chased the skinny guys too much on the Colombiere, blew, and dragged myself around, 27th
Stage 2-Megeve-Courchevel- slept much better without the jersey taunting me in the dark. Climbed my own pace, descended like a bat outta hell, 13th on the day, back up to 16th GC for the whole group. 2nd for the 'compact' riders.

Me in the mud running section in the last round of Huttcross down here in New Zelaand. The mud and holes were over ankle depth along here, including the off camber descent down into it. I had a crap race performance wise (I think I finished last actually!) but it was still fun
Edit - Ha! That skinsuit makes me look fat! Black isn't slimming sometimes

He started the race in a cookie monster outfit, got too hot and took it off. He created a home made disc wheel for the back for added speed! Ha! Amazingly two rounds previous he actually won! He races triathlon so was able to just power it over everyone - and he was wearing a spiderman outfit too, mask and all that day.
Here is video from the last round, once again emphasis was on the fun side of things for the last round, hence the costumes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpuUlJFQ6c8&feature=youtu.be

haha that's an awesome photo. Vocklering the tongue
Great photo! I tell my twins "comeon, its time to go cycling" and they say "no, we want to play minecraft instead":
@otoman: The Scattante SC-R (Easton Scandium tubing) is a well under estimated frame. Especially this tiny 46 X 50 cm frame is a super stiff and light (960g) frame. With a 310 g Easton Ec 90 Superlight fork, I had to weigh her bike ( SRam Rival-Apex, 105 crankset and heavier wheels, opposed to Sram Red, FSA BB30 crankset, P'X brakes, Ilinks and lighter wheels) so both of the girls have approximately the same bike weight.
@leviathan: They are serious minecraft players too...
They really like the sport, often dressed (helmet end gloves on) and ready to go out 2 hours before the time...

Minecraft (and other video games) - the reason why I can't get my kids out of the house to exercise.
