This year was the first time I've ever watched the TdF and I still don't really understand what is going on half the time.

And we saw lots of cars and vans with bikes on the highway. But I never saw any of the racers themselves. Glad you did! These guys are always inspiring.<br /><br />BTW, you should do a relay. You would LOVE it. The key is to rent a condo in some ski village so you can take a real nap in a bed between legs. It seriously helps. After all, we're not 20 any more. And then you'd get your run under the stars. Well worth it, I promise. :^)Terzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617301871875902162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909813619387077142.post-79066542320026581452011-08-29T11:44:17.525-06:002011-08-29T11:44:17.525-06:00I wanted to so badly to go yesterday but wasn'...I wanted to so badly to go yesterday but wasn't able to :( Do you have any idea how long it took them to climb Lookout?? I was curious, just for comparison's sake.

I did watch the laps around Denver, which was pretty cool. What moved me the most was all the people around the course rooting for them...honestly, it reminded me a lot of running Boston and I got the chills. I remember the Coors Classic years ago and how exciting that was...I just hope that this race generated enough income, and support, to come back and not fade like Coors!<br /><br />I so need to get my sorry biking butt up Lookout again...we should plan a day. I haven't been on my bike in months...let's just start up with a bang up that beast! :) I think that's how I operate though. Ha.<br /><br />So glad you got to enjoy such an exciting race!! My friend, Tara, was down at the end of the race and "touched" one of the cyclist. She said she wasn't washing her hand for a month.
