When we're not traveling, we like to pretend we are by watching European bike races on television. We're in the middle of the
Giro d'Italia at the moment, and I'm happy to say that even though I don't follow cycling with the focus that Chris does, I've settled on the next guy I'll cheer for when
Lance retires -
Ivan Basso. It doesn't hurt that he's Italian and yummy to look at, he also appears to be a good guy
and a good cyclist. Nice. (Also found a good, if a bit old, interview & bio
here.)

Hi,
Ivan Basso also has an english-language fansite. You can find it on this link: http://www.ivanbasso.net/
You know, that's so funny - I just found that site today... And posted it not a half hour ago! I'm thankful that I speak/read a bit of Italian, so I can pick up stuff from his official site. It's nice that he has an English fansite, too, though.
