New Training Technique?
We've heard of a lot of interesting training programs, but Bill Hurley's new one has to be about the most novel . . . He is going to build a log house over the winter on some land he owns near Hull, Québec. I guess the proof will be next spring. (Of course, if Bill kicks everyone's butt next season, does this mean that we will see a 'Bob Vila' line of bikes?)
