Ahh..the Tour De France. This event has made July my favorite month of the year, even over december(christams etc), and September(my birthday). Has anyone else found that the month of July is spent almost entirely devoted to the watching of Tv coverage of the Tour morning day and night. Please do not tell me im alone in this addiction. I know im in a minority here in in America (8 years in a row...). but, unlike what some peopel think, I watch it for mostly foreign riders like Thor Hushovd and Robbie McEwen.

I used to, when I was still a student.

Sadly, I can only watch during the week-ends nowadays.

During the week, I have to work. By the time I come home, they already arrived.

My favorite étappes are/were those in the Alps or the Pyrenees: live coverage from start til finish, beautiful landscapes and always exciting, sometimes heroic

Strangely enough, my father loves it. That's what inspired him to bike again, and I, as the loving son, decided to follow him.

But me, oh no! No way I could stand just watching the guys do it.

I'll be deep in the cold cold ground before you take my Chariot!
