Mark Cavendish has inspired me to give another copy of his Boy Racer book away. Should I hold off until next week or should I go ahead and do another giveaway today? Let me know what you think. I’m also open for new contest ideas, especially ones that maximize benefit (i.e. hits and links) for Cyclelicious. Do you like “first with the correct answer”? Or should I just go with a random drawing?

Before the Stage Six race start this morning, Fabian Cancellara clowns around with a guy on an old bike and telephone. Is this the future of bike team communications?
