I'm very excited for this 2008 edition of "The Hell of the North". 259.5 kilometers with 28 sections (52.8 kilometers) of bone jarring pave' to contend with.
My birthday is Monday so this should provide me with a bit of entertainment. I'm wondering how George Hincapie and Fabian will fare this year. The forecast is calling for cool rainy weather which will make for a treacherous and epic race.
