I am aware that some of you are avid cyclist and fans of the Tour De France, so why not post your thoughts on this years event.
Yesterday the initial stage was quite a shock as the main contenders for the most part are already just about 1 minute back of Lance and Dave Zabriskie...damn the luck of the wind is what some will say.
I am lucky as this year the tour rolls through my training grounds so to speak when it travels through the southwestern portion of Germany on stages 7 and 8.

I am planning on taking a ride down for stage 7 and possibly take the 911 down to Pforzheim for stage 8.
Last year I missed the tour events as I was in Iraq, so this year I plan on making the most of it.
