RAIDÔ Over the Pyrenees

Here's some pretty epic photos I stole from an old friend's FB, the photoset was titled "BCN-Biarritz-San Sebastian over a few mountains. 48/16".

FYI: Antton is a real strong rider and used to 'mess in the nineties.

Back In The Days...

... when road cycling was still truly Epic. Or just bit more like cyclocross today, maybe?

The Epic-est American Fixy Tour Continues

The trip advances, apparently. Feel free to come up with your own captions for the pictures. Riding up and down the mountains, getting h**h etc. Note also the 'support van'.

Lance vs. Marco at Mont Ventoux

Yeah yeah yeah, it's road cycling, geared bikes and all that but this pic is pretty awesome. Taken by Ian Nutt and posted on La Gazetta Della Bici.

Lance and Il Pirata battling it out on the epic final climb of Mont Ventoux during the Tour de France 2000. Check out Pantani's water bottle too... And the clip below, you don't see them coasting too much there, now do you?
