LA to Long Beach in the books. We passed on the weirdly tacked on loop to Seal Beach and back, so metric for me & RC. Speakin' o' books, just finished up Push Yourself A Little Bit More, by Johnny Green. Can't recommend it enough - best TdF reportage in years, top ten sports writing. The man knows his history, and not just of the race but the small details in the random towns - amazing. You can catch an interview with him about his days with The Clash in two parts. At the cinema, we checked Bigger Stronger Faster, Chris Bell's doc about 'roids. It goes deep; another recommendo. Meanwhile back in the pipes: in case you don't know how. BFF report. Important discussion on bikes, cops and media. Drink biking: not so safe. Not respecting the peds in Chicago could get you popped. Go ride.
