That French bicycle race

I've been watching the Tour de France this year.

Not only have I been watching it, I've been enjoying it.

Not only have I been enjoying it, I've been explaining to Scott what the different jerseys and cycling terms mean.

Good gravy. I think I've been replaced with Folgers PowerGel crystals.

    I'm watching every minute live and then watch the highlights in the evening...benefits of retirement..!

    1. The ...athleticism... of the event is simply incredible. Watching those men not only climb up the mountains but also ACCELERATE is breath-taking. The only quibble I have is that I want to know how fast they're riding. Some of the riders last night looked like they were pedaling uphill as fast as I can coast downhill.
