One of my very favorite things of the whole year starts 30 days from today, the 97th Tour de France
and I can hardly wait! I started watching the tour 7 years ago and it has become an obsession ever since. Right now I need to devote any spare moment to planning the 2010 Tour de French Cuisine, now in it's 3rd year. I am running out of days and hours so lets make this a short update.....
I have already started to stop at Borders every other day to look for the special issue on the tour with details of every stage and city. (still not out yet) But until then I will dream of what is to come. The best parts is the beautiful French countryside that you get to see along the way over 3 weeks. Yes, 3 wonderful weeks. There will be sunflowers, hay bails made into bicycles, cows that are near the road that could care less and the crazy guy that dresses like the devil and runs alongside the riders. Oh and then there is the oh so dreamy Phil Liggett & Paul Sherman, with there wonderful stage by stage reports. And then there are all my fellow cycling lovers that I have met online that enjoy it just as much as me that I will look forward to chatting with every day.
So, 30 more days or 720 hours, or 43,200 seconds..... but whose counting
Vive la Tour!
