The Tour

It is time again to watch, what I think, is the toughest physical endurance sport currently being practiced... long distance bike riding. The Tour de France !!

These guys ride 130 miles in one day, averaging over 30 miles per hour.. AND... the get up and do it again the next day. I ride 60 mile sin one day and I need a week to rest !! But then again, I am over 50 years of age and the average age on the Tour is about 26. I am also over 210 pounds and the average weight of the Tour rider is about 165 pounds. The heaviest guy on the Tour this year is 200 pounds and they only use him as a bull dog in the front when the wind is blowing hard !!

SO.. EVERYONE.. tune into the OLN channel and watch the Tour. If everything goes well, Lance Armstrong just might be the first person to ever win 6 Tours in a row..

RIDE ON !!!
