The peleton racing through the cultural landscape of France. The colours, the exitement, the drama, the suspense. Long, rainy days in the mountains, or sunny days along the fields with horses running on the side. The people. The history. The heroes; winners or losers. Thor Hushovd from my hometown winning the Green Jersey.
I love the Tour de France, and although I enjoy following it on television every summer, I hope to someday make it to France and experience it for myself. Hopefully I can bring some friends and bikes, and ride up the mountain stages before the polka-dot rushes past.
