It's that one month of the year where Trailie has one single iota of interest in bicycles. Yup, it's Tour De France time!
The ultimate battle of man vs the landscape, these guys are not human they are superhuman and this is the best month of TV ever as mear mortals do shiit no mear moratl should be able to do.
I have no greater respect for sportsmen than I do for these guys, what they do over 28 odd days is beyond comprehension and we also get the best scenery imaginable as a backdrop.
I'm going to follow the Tour one year if it's the last thing I do, me and doggo in a camper doing the Euro right of passage journey that most Aussies do but I replaced with tours of (highly paid and unofficial) duty in warzones instead. It's a month-long party on wheels, maybe next year . . .
You don't have to be a cycling fan to enjoy watching the tour (I hate the things) because it's so much more than "just" a bike race. it's a show of incredible endurance and strength and the most spectacular travelogue on earth. Give it a go, seriously.
