We spring into International News with GVG and Criterium International. There's nothing much to report on Locally so we stray into wheel building nostalgia. Ahhh, when wheels were built by hand and spokes were steel, those were the good old days. Listener Feedback is a relatively short affair but not short on good questions. The Bear Wrestler (never bitten) needs advice, immediately, Hot Pants asks 51 or 53cm, Bryanobryan needs to recover, Cyle Gurl asks the best question of the year (so far) regarding thongs…, Road Convert washes and creaks his carbon, Cat 3Pac wants de-embrocation tips, Velo Buff has to catch up on 20 hours of podcasting, FRR wants our approval. Guess who wins listener feedback of the week? I'll give you one clue -- Thong. Thanks to epicRIDES http://www.epicplanet.tv/cmd.php?af=1115122 for listener of the week swag prize.

We start of Internationally talking about Paris Nice, Milano San Remo and Big Tex v. Bert. Local news is more of a vicarious report as neither of us has done much lately. Listener Feedback is filled with praise, criticism, questions, and marital deceit. We are SO predictable and give the feedback price to a woman from Colorado.
