Tour de France

Come on England , should I say Engerland ?

Yes I am watching it and enjoying Languedoc, where we used to go on holiday. Not as exciting as last year when they came here, though! Brilliant stuff from the Brits at the moment.

Well 2 weeks in and I am having a teeny break. We only watch TV an hour a day and for the last 2 weeks that hour has been the Tour Highlights. Have to say with Wiggins in the lead it is a lot less boring than it could have been! Easy to spot him in his yellow jersey. Quite a coup for the UK.
And the varied scenery takes the prize for any TV sporting event that I can think of. But DH away on MIL duty this w/e and I can indulge my passion for athletics before the last week of Tour.

DH was a cyclist - led the army team at one stage. (San Francisco to New york in 30 days once!)

So it, and rugby, are part of my life, if only as a person standing in a layby as they whizz past. I do find it aesthetically pleasing; the colours, the sound of the peleton etc. And the Tour came through Rochester the other year, so we saw that.

But, to be honest, as with most cricket and rugby, I prefer TV coverage. Then I can tune out with my earphones in and just look up from time to time. Best that way!

It is on, here. Mysterious. Countryside is vaguely interesting. But I will be wanting to watch olympic athletics every night in a months time....
At least there is some local interest these days (Cavendish)

Sorry - but I find it incredibly boring, can't tell who's who as they all look the same. DH watches it and I really do try to get involved (thought those muscular thighs might do it for me but even that failed). Can't understand the scoring system either. Sorry
