Yes that was convenient, I however like watching the full race partly for the scenery.

Say what you want about the French, but that is one BEAUTIFUL country.

Sad to say the end might be near for my 1977 Ross Professional Ten Speed.

The Forks are possibly bend inwards as I can not get the front tire on anymore. I’ve been trying to bend them outward but they are solid steel.

I took it to a bike shop but they said bending them out could make things worse.

I biked exactly 300 miles last month on a Schwinn hybrid with only about 6 working gears. I often had to start before sunrise.

Since these are suburban / bike trail miles I prefer the slower less efficient hybrid for exercise and safety.

Every cyclist in the Tour de France is just amazing. This yearโ€™s use of drones showing the beautiful route and reports from Christian Vandervelde on a motorcycle made it all the better.
