Ride with Discovery Team

Did anyone else see this show on Discovery HD? These guys won some contest and got to train with some of the Discovery team and ride a stage of the tour. Trek gave them new brand new Madone 5.2s and did a computer aided, 3-d fitting. They went to Spain to train with Disco, Colorado for VO2 testing and more training, then to France to ride stage 16 which finished on Aubisque.

Thanks for the help. I'm a dumb engineer and not one of those artsy types.

Eric said...

The help was really for Brian. Artsy or not, you seem clear on the usage of HERE and HEAR.

Brian, maybe this will help even more. You can remember that HEAR is the perception of sound because it has the work EAR in it.

Next week's lesson: THERE, THEIR and THEY'RE

I knew I did it right after I posted it...and I was sure that someone of are fine collection of brains would point it out. I love the caring and wonderful support you guys bring to this blog.

nothin' but love

Brian said...

oh...by the way, thanks for the help w/ THERE, THEIR and THEY'RE. I've always had some issues with that.

I'm hoping the weather turns out better than it looks. If not, we need to do lunch. I don't know what I will do if I don't see Eddie this weekend.
