I must admit, I only tune in for Gabriel Gate's Cooking the Tour {bless him and his accent that's stubbornly held on despire living in Aus for so many years} and the scenery - those lycra clad bums don't do it for me. After watching a doco on the chefs behind the scenes, and reading your post, I'm quite keen to properly check it out.<br /><br />PS: That dragstar?

I'm sure I saw that in the highlights...<br /><br />@anjwrites - start the book tonight and I swear you'll be hooked. And it will make the tour even more exciting.

Love everything about the TdF - the bikes, the scenery, the blokes, the lycra, Phil Liggert's voice, the tactics... everything! I'm rooting for the Schleck bros this year.

Or perhaps it's sleep deprivation talking. <br />Anyway, the book is actually on the shelf at this flat we're staying at...normally housed by a cyclist who is, you guessed it, in France to watch some of this excitement close up. Think I'll take a peek once I've finished Lisa Heidke's latest :)Anj (@anjwrites)http://www.anjwritesabout.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-3416681439124541962010-07-12T23:07:29.826+10:002010-07-12T23:07:29.826+10:00Oh yes.

He even went a couple of years ago when it was in Britain. Drove for hours and hours to see them whizz past. I have bought him all the books. He still has lots of cycling gear which he can't now fit into but keeps anyway. I followed Phil Liggett on twitter for a while (my husband is resisting twitter) just for him. <br /><br />The tactics and the crashes are spectacular. Me? I just like seeing men in tight shorts.alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09338687691871813019noreply@blogger.com
