The Tour De France is on now. I love biking and I try to get out about four or five times a week. But I’ll be honest, when I watch the OLN TV broadcast of Lance Armstrong and the guys, racing through France and Spain - it looks like a totally different sport that my "casual" biking.
Every night on OLN, I’m tuned in to the fun. Three hours of uphill attacks, wipeouts, pile-ups, amazing stamina and lots of inspiration. Gosh, it's motivating to see what a person can do when they want something.
Yesterday the Tour raced in Spain, through a lot of rain. Those streets were really slick and riding on thin racing tires makes for a dangerous ride. And great TV!
I’m sad to see there’s only one Canadian rider on the whole list. One guy. Ryder Hesjedal from Victoria. The OLN announcers seldom mention him. He’s on the Garmin-Slipstream team (orarnge and blue), if you’re watching for him.
