Is anyone else watching the Tour?
My wife and I watch it every year. We're not bicyclists and I don't even fully understand the scoring, but we just love the scenery. We DVR it so we can skip the commercials, but we watch all 4 to 5 hours of every stage.
Since we we haven't been able to travel yet this year, we really live vicariously through the scenery they show on the Tour. Last spring we spent 3 weeks in France (Dordogne and Loire Valley) culminating with one week in Normandy for the 75th anniversary of D-Day. I feel so badly for all those re-enactors who spend the week recreating the invasion. It must have been terribly disappointing for them this year.
