Yes it’s that time of year again! The Tour de France is now a week in, which loosely translates to I haven’t had a single conversation with the cyclist that hasn’t involved the dissection of each stage, points, jerseys, teams, accidents and GC standings. It sounds like the month of dread but to be honest I too am a fan of le Tour especially the sunflowers, castles and the antics of the spectators. It’s taken me a few years to work out the tactics employed in cycling so I will defy anyone who thinks it’s dull. I say Vive le Tour and let’s celebrate all things France – what do you think?

I say, any time there’s competition it’s exciting. Heck, I’m a NASCAR fan, so obviously I have a different interpretation than many.
Love that bracelet.
Hi there,
Just came back from France: We went to see the TDF stage 12 on 14 July. We were in the garbage drop zone just after the supplies. Amalie caught no. 66’s (Astana rider Roman Kreuziger) lunch bag with a bit of sweat on. The cyclist is allowed to touch it when you are here!
See you soon
