It pains me to pay attention to a heavily hyped commercial sports event, but I know enough people who are at least peripherally following the Tour de France that I'm going to try to stay conversant on it this year. Mark Livingood, who runs http://www.TheTandemLink.com, posted number of links to the Tandem@Hobbes![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png)
mailing list that'll help me in that. From that message:

I've followed the Tour for 30 years now, since the time I was prepping for my cross-country bike trek. I just told Charlie today that once the kids are out of the house, one of the things I want to do is go to France and experience the Tour in person. It's a marvelous athletic achievement for those involved.

I'm more into motorcycling at this point in my life, but for a variety of reasons in the last few years I've found myself drawn increasingly towards biking. I've become a big fan of Lance and of this event itself. I think it could be part of a fantastic vacation to Europe to experience the Tour live.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
