Subject: International Tour De Toona
At a friend's request, I am posting this for him...

Toona's is going to be on TV in those cities and suburbs sometime in August
and the Tour de Toona is being marketed as the women's Tour de France. It's
the longest race, most prize money, and hardest stages....and now it has TV.
Also, Lyne Bessette is going to make her racing comeback with the Quebec
Provincial Team. So Kristin Armstrong will do battle with Mara Abbott,
Christine Thorburn, and Lyne Bessette. There's an 11-mile TEAM time trial on
the interstate highway (Rt. 99) for the opening stage. The course has
changed from years past, and it promises to be a grand event! Questions
should be sent to the Toona site.

Comeback hell! Lyne has is a force where she chooses to race. I'm not
sure that I know a better person in cycling either.

Don't call it a comeback, she's been there for years.

What a class act she is as a rider.

She has good judgment both on and off the bike. At the podium ceremony
for CX nats, she was presented with a a bottle of champagne. She begged
off spraying it over the crowd, instead saying she wanted to drink it
later.

She wanted to drink it! LIVEDRUNK approves.

I'd say Lyne Bessette kinda made her comeback when she won the Canadian
cyclocross nats last November,
