London 2007 and the upcoming Tour De France
Posted By Andy
Alright guys sorry it has been so long since my last blog but I have been really busy traveling and preparing to see my first Tour De France in person. I have spent about a month in Europe so far this summer doing the tourist thing for awhile and I am getting excited about a lot of upcoming races.
So far in my travels I have seen Stone Henge (correct spelling?) Big Ben, a lot of other tourist destinations and best of all, 300 nude cyclists protesting oil use in downtown London. As much as I love cycling I just don't believe that, even for a good cause, we should do it naked. I know some I know will protest that remark, but we have a bad enough time for wearing spandex should we really put ourselves in the position for more mocking?
Back to the tour, for this years event the big show is visiting London for the first time since 1994, and I plan on seeing it up close. If you want to catch me on T.V. the plan will be for me to wear a bright green walts shop shirt and maybe have an american flag. I think the green will set me off against all the yellow... I am going to get to the start the night before and camp so I think I can get right beside the start house so you all can see me one T.V. I have a big beard so I am hard to miss.
I will be trying to update this more often as the tour gets closer as I will be going to the british national championships and the tours sencond stage as well so I hope to get a bunch more pictures and maybe some video loaded up before I get back.
Keep on riding and have a good summer!
be good to each other,
Andy
