Tour de France '05.

[RICHARD]

Here we go again.:D


Let's spend the month of July on a bike trip of 2,200 miles (3.600 kms) through France, with just two days of rest during the whole shebang.


Since this is Lance Armstrong's last TDF. He's gonna be riding with the whole world on his back.

I'm excited just thinking about it.

:cool:

Go Lance!

Although I don't watch the T de F, but this year may be an exception. He's always been an inspiration to me, given who I work for. :)

Few years ago, tha TDF passed right through our village! OMG, what a circus!! I wonder if they hit Belgium again this year??

ps. I didn't recognize any cyclist, but Armstrong must have been among them!! He he, I hope that our Tom Boonen and Axel Merkx( the son of the famous Eddy) win some etappes :D

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Hey Richard, can you watch the Tour de France in the USA? On tv, I mean;) ?
Remember the name I wrote, Tom Boonen? He won 2 etappes already! Yippie for Belgium :) :) (he he, no I am NOT chauvinistic ;) ). Where is Lance??

The whole family got hooked on it last summer, I am sure this summer will be no different. When we got home from the lake last night it was the first thing my hubby put on the tv. GO LANCE!!

[RICHARD]

Lance is there in the peleton....waiting for the Alps..

We do see the Tour. But it's not a big thing here in the states.

Only the hardcore bike people watch.....


Lance did make a statement to Ulrich in the time trial....

:eek:


Did you get to experience the sound of the peleton firsthand???

:D

[RICHARD]

That's one way to get a yellow jersey.....crash your teammate....

Lance in first place and George Bush never made the finish line.


George ......Leave the cycling to Lance.....please...:rolleyes:

Did Lance crash? Last I heard he was leading the race.


Always thought George needed training wheels. What a
klutz.:D

No, It was the his teammate on the Discovery Team that took the header........he cut a corner to sharp....

I'd pay for a clip of the GWB header....he hit a cop too!!!

:D :rolleyes: ;)

[RICHARD]

Dear Laura Bush,

If you let George crash on a bike you will not become president.:confused:

The cruelest thing on the planet is a parent who takes the training wheels off a boke and proceeds to push their kid down the street on a bike....:eek:

Surely, you can't do that to the president......;)

The 'leader of the world' on a bicycle...Didn't we learn with Gerald Ford???:rolleyes:

[lizbud]

I heard he crashed because he refused to turn left.:D LOL.

The cop he ran into had a broken ankle.:(

Touche!!!

What a story to tell your kids......

George Bush ran my arse over....:rolleyes:

[RICHARD]

Riding a bike.

We all have done it.

It's getting home before the sun goes down.
It's taking your hands off the bars.
It's riding up a huge hill.
It's coasting down hill.
It's riding with your friends.
It's racing your friends.
It's your hair in the wind.


It's beating cancer and putting your name in the record books.


Thanks Lance.


:)

I watched it on tv, and I am sure it was a right turn!! So, George Hinkapie (sp???) refused to turn right :D . I felt sorry for him, he did a lot for his friend Lance!!

That was a great pic, Armstrong with his 3 kids, on the podium on the middle of the "Champs Elysées"!!
