BIKE: Re: lief

[Lane S. Wimberley]

Hi Dave.  From the Tour de France News site glossary,

http://www.tourdefrancenews.com/tourdefrance/facts/glossary/0,3494,s1,00.html


"Au Naturel--
When riders stop off the back of the pack to take a leak in the
woods. During crucial stages pissing is done on the bike, but when the
pack is tooling along slowly riders will stop. At this point Gerry
from Radio Tour will announce riders are taking, l'au naturel."

Makes one wonder what's going through Cheryl Crow's mind at the finish
line of a "crucial stage" when giving Lance that victory kiss.
