We are on Tour again this summer.
All is on hold for four hours every morning while Alan and I watch the Tour de France (also known more recently as the Dope de France) live on ESPN.
I love the cat-and-mouse of the race itself, and the wide pans of the camera to the chateaus and gorgeous countryside of France is an extra bonus.
So we will listen to Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen as they take us through the next month of bicycle racing. We haven’t heard of any drug scandals…yet, but today there were French workers on strike blocking the race for a short spell until they got their message out across the airwaves, then they moved off the course.
Can you imagine careening around curves on a mountain peek with the pack all around you? Can you imagine even having the lung capacity to walk up the slope? It is spectacular scenery. I miss Lance.
