Nothing touches it. Nothing. Not even the prospect of seeing leeds at a wembley final. Especially not seeing leeds at a wembley final (where we usually concede 3 goals) jonny, put aside all the live sport you’ve ever seen and get to the Alps or the Pyrenees for the TdF.

Seems that I have managed to miss the fact that you have been blogging for a couple of years. Liked your Toby post a few days ago - I'm now a dog owner myself. We found her in Albania and brought her with us. I was tramping the streets in the rain last night with her. If you ever find yourself in the vicinity of Munich (our current location) let me know. You would be very welcome. You can find me at olliinmunich.blogspot.com Nothing very profound I'm afraid - pictures of Munich and occasional ruminations on beer and Oktoberfest. Hi Glenn.

[colloquial name for Mont Ventoux] If that's anything to go by it sounds like a handy spin.....;-) Is there any significance in the fact that you lived your early years at the foot of “Sugar-loaf” in Wicklow.

We were near Nimes on holiday last July. The Tour was coming along the main road near where we were staying. Obviously I wanted to witness it and turned up pretty early to watch the crowd build up along the road. I couldn't believe the number of people who had turned up. We waited a good couple of hours for the cyclists to go past. Anticipation was building but I was getting impatient. Noticing the build-up of cars parked at one side of the road I ran back to where the car was parked and turned it around to face away from the traffic so we could get away quicker. I was only away for five minutes!! Predictably, as I made my way to the main road again the satisfied crowds were heading back to their cars..... I concur with the above comment!
