I remember once hearing Phil Liggett say the Tour de France was the most grueling event, after these last two races, I’m going to look closer at the March of the Penguins. There is something to be said for the difficulty of being frozen in time.
Thanks to the new riders who came out and we welcome Bradley Weyer to the Bees.
