The blog of a Leslie Wong
On my shopping trips to Costco, I always see items that seem to indicate a shopper changed their mind.
Did someone see a set of wine glasses and decide they were a better deal than a box of Oreos? Did a case of tennis balls make someone rethink riding a bike with a helmet?

Last Thursday’s Stage 18 of the 2013 Tour de France was 172.5 km (107.2 mi), from the town of Gap to Alpe d’Huez. This year’s route required the riders to climb up to the ski resort Alpe d’Huez twice, accending 1124 m (3687 ft) in 13.8 km (8.5 mi), an 8.1% average grade. The climb to Alp D’Huez is categorized Hors catégorie, a French term used in cycle races (most notably, the Tour de France) to designate a climb that is “beyond categorization”, an incredibly tough climb.
