Wild Tour so far, nothing as predicted. I like it.
Our best race viewing experience was at the Amgen Tour of California. The stage was a loop done four times right past a winery on a hill, so we got to sit on the grass, watching the rest of the loop on a big (giant) screen, sipping wine, then saunter up the hill to see the riders go by on the climb. It was amazing how fast they were going uphill. You don't get a sense of that on TV.
Funny the extreme hostility to doping in cyclists vs doping in other types of athletics, especially ones not nearly as strenuous (baseball? please...) I prefer the riders
clean and I think they are getting there.
> I went by train it's much quicker
Funny, so did the guy who won the 2nd TDF (and was disqualified for it
)
