Tour De France.

Like watching this-not so much for the cycling but for the wonderful scenery!Son no 1 tries to go to see the end of the race in Paris.He was there last year when Geraint Thomas won.He's going again this year with his youngest son.

Re: Tour De France.

I've been watching it too Rhosyn! As you say, wonderful scenery. I can't believe how daft the spectators are though, it's a wonder they don't knock the cyclists off their bikes, especially on the steep climbs.

Re: Tour De France.

It's absolutely brilliant rhosyn, I consider it one of the toughest sporting events in the world with such good sportsmanship, and I never miss a stage.....
Bring on the mountains.....

Re: Tour De France.

Poor Pinot. Bernal was phenomenal. What about the weather though?
All that heat and today snow and sleet - and landslide!
