    I just so happen to know a lot about Jelly Belly's. Seems they'd someone with my expertise around. What?

    I love Jelly Belly's!

    FWIW, you can buy sport beans in mass at Costco now.

    What section? That place is so huge, half the time I can't find something I've bought there the month before. It's like a scavenger hunt. Bruce goes one way, I go the other.

    I look for Toyota-United to be the team to beat.Individual is really hard to say right now.

    One thing I'm sure of, it'll be drug free.

    I think Chipotle will do well, but it'll be interesting to see Astana also.

    Why are you so sure it'll be drug free? They don't have the riders passports set up yet.

    I'd love to see Chipolte do well. And I can't wait to see the reception Rock racing is going to get!!

    I agree but he has caused so much controversy with his arrogant attitude that they will probably be the most hated AND most watched/scrutinized team in the bunch!

    I don't know how seriously RR will be taken.

    Slipstream has really put together a great team, and they're all about drug-free with their internal testing stuff.

    I'd be rooting for them for sure.

    Great article on ESPN.com this week about Slipstream, generated (a tiny little bit) some interest in roadies with me.

    Then I realized it was just gas, farted and I then felt better.

    ;)

    Do you see the short guy Lucas? He used to wear these funny glasses back in college and earned himself the nickname Harry Potter. Nice guy and talented as hell back in SLO.
