This is the biggest two weeks in Belgian cycling, starting with the Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde (Three Days of De Panne) tomorrow through Thursday, the Ronde van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders) this Sunday, Gent-Wevelgem next Wednesday (April 8th) and culminating in Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, April 12th. Of course, many of us with a Flandrien bent favor [...] THE SNOW-STORM ANNOUNCED by all the trumpets of the sky, Arrives the snow, and, driving o’er the fields, Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven, And veils the farm-house at the garden’s end.

Race organizers and the Astana team doctor confirmed that the seven-time Tour de France champion had broken his [...] I’ve always enjoyed Sunday mornings … from going to Sunday School and then services at First Baptist Church of Chattanooga, Tennessee with my great-grandmother when my age was still in the single-digits, to my current more adult-oriented fare (no, not porn) of double cappuccino, CBS Sunday Morning, Face the Nation, and the New York Times.
