Ellee likes the Bike Shrine!

Ellee Thalheimer is writing an Oregon bike touring book and stopped by BELLA Main Street Market last week.  She likes the Bike Shrine!  We love her blog - check it out at:

Also heard Robert Penn on NPR the other day and am thinking I'll have to get this book ordered
at BETTY'S BOOKS.

Alberto Contador took the Maglia Rosa (pink jersey!) in the Giro d'Italia today after climbing Mount Etna while the Tour of California had a late start today after cancelling yesterday's first day of racing due to snow - lots of snow. 
Best wishes to all the riders in both races and everyone else out on the road with two wheels, we'll put the best new pics of the season up on the BELLA Bike Shrine and we'll wish a little harder (if that's possible) for more sun, more blue skies and more dry, smooth pavement.
