Cheng pal, this is the way I think about it...

Would I sleep in and miss witnessing the birth of my child even if I have to wait 13+ hours and it's almost 3 am in the morning and I am dead tired...which by the way is NUTHIN! compared to what our wives have to go through during pregnancy and pains of childbirth...

Would I whine and complain about picking up my high school girlfriend at 4am in the morning when she gets off work from the store?

It's Eroica and I have to be at the start line at 4:15 am, would I want to miss it?

Some of you might think it's ridiculous to compare Paris Roubaix with these examples or life events...I don't.

This is the one and only PARIS ROUBAIX!

It only happens once a year.

You just do it!

No question asked.

Not that I'm going to stop though.

Day is shaping up well. lazy morning watching roubaix, first outside ride of the year after that, and then watching the masters finish. doesn't get much better.

77k... Sagan is like, "this is getting boring. I think I'll go now."

Seems fool hardy, this early.

Did not see it, but he had some issue. Now Stuyven and Oss are left dangling out there. this move from Boonen would be good if it came up to them.
