Here at BlytheLea, we like random things.  Nowhere is this more apparant than in the world of sports.  Specifically, this is my area of randomness.  I love non mainstream sports, horse racing, cycling, and hockey.  The only mainstream sport I follow is football, but only the NFL and until Drew Brees was signed, even that sport was dead to me.

However, as the Tour de France comes to a close and there is this lull between professional sports that will be filled by the Olympics, I've decided why not, why not share my random wanderings with the world?  Don't worry, I'm not so delusional as to imagine a hundred views, but you have to get your foot in the door somewhere and for me, it is here.

This has to be short, but let me just end with a few congratulations and a few views to end my ramblings with.  Congrats to team Garmin Sharp for hanging in there, and best of luck to Tyler for the flat stages ahead, all two of them.  Congrats to Radioshak Nissan Trek for holding your head up high and doing a phenomenal job keeping the team lead.  I look forward to all, what, five? of you on the podium in Paris.  On a side not, I still support Frank Schleck.  I still support Lance Armstrong.  Deep down, we all are prone to take the advice of others, and perhaps from time to time we shouldn't.  I don't know the particulars, and, please, for the love of life, may everyone reporting this pay attention.  None of us know the exact particulars.  we were not there, we will never know.  In a country where we are presumed innocent until proven guilty, everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, and unless you know, you were there, let it play itself out.  In the mean time, I will miss the tour, look forward to the US Pro Cycling Challange, and hope for the best all around.

P.S. Andy, please come to Colorado.  Please, the Vuelta will be there next year, so will Contador, but maybe Colorado won't.
