Tyler Hamilton wins Mount Washington bike race

It looks like Tyler Hamilton is back in form at least partially, set to have done his time two days before the World Championships. He won a tough 7.6 miler at Mt. Washington, which I guess doesn't prove much, but is better than not winning my age group even in tiddlywinks.

I still can't believe he hasn't given up that medal he has from the Olys, but OK. I'm surprised it has not been extracted from him forcibly by dark legions of organized power, legal or not.

One happy note is that second place was taken by a 51-year-old former mountain biking champ, Ned Overend. Now that's a great name for an MTBer!

Now it'll be interesting to see how Tyler does, and if he's got that whole doping thing down now to where he won't get caught, or maybe he will even try it on his own within the legal limits of the trade. I wonder how much endorsement money he can garner if he starts to win. We surely don't need another US of American failing the tests!
