The Bahati foundation is producing an entertainment documentary series preliminarily entitled Bahati: Out of Compton.
This project captures the essence of the human condition, said Endure spokesperson Matthew Hall. [Rahsaan] Bahati’s story is one of hope, compassion and excellence. We use cycling as a backdrop to tell [Rahsaan’s] story, and weave the excitement of the sport, the passion of the events and celebrity cache for tremendous impact on the community.
The Santos Tour Down Under signals the opening to the pro cycling season. A nice distraction from the cold and snow of the midwest. This is the first outing for Lance Armstrong’s new Team Radio Shack and they look pretty good so far. While not on par with the Tour de France or other high profile races it is a nice race to get to know your new team and stretch your legs a bit in preparation for the season ahead.
American cycling seems to be stronger than ever these days. Yesterday Garmin announced they are extending their sponsorship of Garmin Slipstream team. Columbia continues with one of the top teams in cycling the Team Columbia – HTC or HighRoad team and some guy named Lance has started a team with Radio Shack that will no doubt be a force in their first year.
Back in the day when I used to ride and race Greg LeMond was the man in cycling. Bike Radar has a nice 3 part article about the behind the scenes of the 1989 Tour de France. Possibly one of the greatest Tours of all time. The story is even more amazing when you get a behind the scenes look at what was going on.
