The speed of two wheels

I'm trying to keep this blog on topic, but right now my entire psyche is consumed with the Giro d'Italia (bicycle race). For those who don't obsessively follow European road racing, this is one of the Grand Tours (3-week races) along with the Tour de France and the Vuelta a Espana, that are the crowns of the racing season. I'm alternately blessing and cursing OLN for providing a live internet pay-per-view broadcast of each day's stages, which means that I can't get any work done until after 11am. (Luckily, I work for myself, or this would NOT be an option.)
