Now that I’m living in the land of lance (aka. Austin, TX) not only am I watching the tour I’m out riding my bike and discussing geeky bike race details with other riders. You’re missing a great race. Go levi!

jenny d., i now officially love you more than ever: you read a book by my compatriot tim krabbe! one i sadly haven’t read myself, ahem.

and admirable fortitude, justine! bravo! sorry to hear that your life is currently so blow-uppy, I can certainly sympathise. in fact, i haven’t watched a lot of tour myself yet, I must admit that i don’t currently even know who is wearing the yellow… *looks at newspaper and finds out*

You’re not watching? You missed Robbie’s win in Stage 1??? I admire your willpower. I don’t think I could give up watching the tour.

I’m following it—it’s easy over here because you can, like, get up and watch the 7.20 a.m. update, work all day and refresh your memory with the 6 p.m. highlights, then stay up until 1.30 a.m. watching each stage live? I think the resulting surreal blur around everything will have interesting flow-on effects for my novel.

Oh, I just remembered this. A couple of weeks ago, my mom bought a little plastic cricket game for my brother and sister. Cool, huh? Sadly, the sticks (excuse my lack of knowledge of the actual word) were too small for me to use them without bending in half, and my siblings haven’t really used it. Like so much crap my mom buys them.

I don’t watch sports on TV. Please, blog overlord, don’t censor me! (Mwahaha, I’m being sneaky)
However, I just picked up watching the election news at the last Québec elections last march. Or was it April? Whatever.
So, my point is, perhaps I’ll pick up sports watching eventually. Dunno.

Does Rowe know about this yet?

i was wondering about this also, sounds like a sensible but painful decision! you must block out the time for next year so that you can afford the couple weeks off! i recommend tim krabbe’s book “the rider” if you are having cycling withdrawal…

I’ve never been one to follow the tour…probably for the same reason I don’t watch baseball (on TV) or golf. ~~It seems extremely boring to watch. Hm.~~

The blog overlord does not tolerate blasphemy!
