I had cut my sojourn short by a few days to ensure I was back in time for it. While away, Bif had concocted a plan that would have C.C.Coglioni ... http://cccoglioni.com/?p=2299 A Golden Goolies update is obviously long overdue, which is no excuse for my lamest Goolies post title yet.

Iceman has closed the gap a little on Fatboy but both sit nervously at the top with precious few points scored. Bicyclettes Anciennes proved ... http://cccoglioni.com/?p=2248 It was a sight to behold as the three contenders for the green jersey fought it out over the last few metres on the Champs-Élysées.
