On the Podium

 

I might not deserve any awards for finishing anything this year but I did manage to spin every day and considering the big Grand sitting adventure that was a miracle. 



I'm far from being done but the Women's Tour started Saturday so I'll be watching that in the morning while I ply these babies.




The Vuelta a Espana starts on August 23 so I'll have three more weeks of watching men's cycling and working on these again. Even with all that to look forward to, I'll be sad all day. Jumping out of bed at 6:30 and making an iced coffee to the sounds of Phil Liggett and Bob Roll setting up the day's stage becomes a habit after 3 weeks. One that's hard to break.

    I'm impressed that you somehow managed to get some spinning in each and every day!

    I'm sorry that something you enjoyed so much is over, but glad that you still have cycling to spin along with.

    Did you ride a bicycle in races in your past? I've always meant to ask you that. You sure like biking. Fun yarns you have to play with.

      I have rode in a couple of races but was pretty terrible at it. I do get caught up in the sport of it but I'm really just there for the scenery and the spirit of the international fans on the side of the roads. It makes me happy to see people so engaged and excited. You don't see that too often these days.
