Tour de France!
Jul. 6th, 2007 10:41 pmThis has been a crazy busy week, but it's finally over and I now have a three day weekend.
What am I doing with it?
Why, going to watch the Tour de France, of course!
Tomorrow (Saturday) I shall be somewhere in Hyde Park, probably on Carriage Drive (or whatever that bit is called) near a large screen. I'm undecided about whether I'm cheering Wiggins or Millar, but shall probably opt for both.
On Sunday, I plan to be on the very small climb just outside Tonbridge doing another cheering job. They'll be going so fast that I'll probably have time for "Allez!" and nothing more.
My main guy this year is Vinokourov. Despite being picked as the favourite (um?), I feel that I'm probably not going to see him win because my Vino has some crazy race tactics. But he's fun to watch, and that's the important part.
I am a little concerned about Valverde being tipped after Vino. He hasn't actually stayed on his bike long enough to finish, yet. Brilliant when he's riding, but slightly Zulle like in his tendency to skupper himself with falls. Oh, well.
I doubt I'll see any of you out there, but if you spot a girl with short red hair, a walking stick, a small portable stool and two concerned parents, that's probably me :-) Come and say hi!
