I usually remember sometime in the fall to re-add them :)Saschahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753671246115554231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11219197.post-40160984320078387282008-07-01T05:10:00.000-07:002008-07-01T05:10:00.000-07:00I can't say exactly why, but I am really excited a...I can't say exactly why, but I am really excited about the Tour this year. Maybe I will be disappointed, but going in to it I just can't wait. I have followed every Tour since the mid eighties; some I have obviously been more excited about than others, but I have never considering giving up on the Tour. Yeah there have been some lowlights; the Festina mess and all of the scandals in recent years, but it is still the greatest sporting event in the world.<BR/><BR/>I hope you'll decide to cover it. I have always enjoyed your perspective in the past, even if it was commenting on the various scandals.James Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558670871159677266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11219197.post-43653357836663546762008-07-01T04:15:00.000-07:002008-07-01T04:15:00.000-07:00Tim - glad to hear your recovery is going so well!...Tim - glad to hear your recovery is going so well! That's fantastic news!!<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about the Tour DAY France. I wanted to stay away, too, but I think I'll be drawn in...it's kind of addictive. But, I'll also try to make it to a stage of the Longsjo Classic this coming weekend in Fitchburg, MA. Will your team be riding, by any chance? <BR/><BR/>Stay healthy....Donna T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18438255125920496361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11219197.post-34051135222801956812008-07-01T03:42:00.000-07:002008-07-01T03:42:00.000-07:00Ah you too are in the wars!

Best of luck with the ortho specialist and neurologist, I hope they have good news for you.<BR/><BR/>I am the same school of thought as you about tdf. Last year was a shamble and after a week I just couldn't be bothered with following the GC. What annoyed me was the bad image the whole scandal gave cycling and the non fans making comments to me that all pro cyclists are dopers ): Well this years tdf does sound interesting and maybe I will be sucked backed into all the moves and events. Definitely the shorter stages make for interesting watching with hopefully lots of attacking. And well that Sir definitely makes for witty and intelligent insights and observations for non other the yourself! Look forward to reading it!!Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639912880003102394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11219197.post-28872654420498719872008-06-30T21:40:00.000-07:002008-06-30T21:40:00.000-07:00I knew you couldn't stay away from Le Tour!
