The Late Nights Begin

It is that time of year again. Le Tour de France has begun. Stephen and I have watched le tour religiously for 18 plus years. Last year was just sensational with Cadel Evans, an Aussie, actually winning the general classification. We will watch with interest again this year hoping that Cadel can win back to back tours before going on to win a gold medal in London at the upcoming Olympics. Also riding this year will be the first Australian team - Orica GreenEDGE. While we will be cheering loudly for the new Aussie team and hoping like hell that Matt Goss can win a stage, Cadel is king!

 

It will also be interesting for us to watch as the peloton passes through a number of places that we visited during our wonderful trip to France in September/October last year. It only seems like yesterday that we were sitting here watching le tour and talking excitedly about our approaching trip.
