Almost time for the Tour






I'm so happy to know the tour will be going through Switzerland this year and nearing Montreux or the surrounding areas where I would bike too. I'm still guessing it will be an exciting tour. The excitement opens on July 1st, Canada day and officially starts on July 4th, Independence day. I'll definitely be watching what I can.

  1. Really cool way to map the route! Looking forward to the Andorra portion. As a young man (23 at the time) I cycled from Grenoble, France to Morocco and then from Madrid back to Grenoble via Salamanca and Andorra. That hill over the Pyrennees I will never forget. Took a half-day to get up the Spanish side, and about an hour to ride down the French side.

  3. Isn't it neat (I know, old fashion term) that when you see something on tv you can remember being there?!

    Too bad I'll be busy manning my own wedding during those days so I can't watch. But it looks definitely exciting!
