What will I do without the tour? It has become part of my life. These guys really earn their money - 3 weeks of gruelling work put PL footballers to shame. The crashes can be horrible and you can't break your concentration if you do and look up you will find yourself on your own...... France such a beautiful country with all types of terrain I saw more of it on TV than I would ever do on holiday.

I strongly advise watching the Giro D'Italia next year if you don't already. You think the routes the Tour takes through France are beautiful, wait until you see the Giro! This year was absolutely incredible.
Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time. |

The Vuelta next, more lovely scenery.

It's hard to decide which is the most boring, cycling or formula One, golf is an obvious third though.
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |
