On y va!

Let's get the obvious questions out of the way.

• No, I'm not a Lance Armstrong fan and I don't dislike him either. I'm sorry, but I don't have a favorite to win/follow this year.
  
• Yes, I love watching the climbs.
  
• Yes, I get totally stoked to ride while watching the tour.
  
• Yes, I have been known to watch the tour early in the morning, but that was when I lived out west and could do that without missing work.
• Yes, I follow it in French. And English too when I'm feeling lazy.
• That's an easy one. You can watch it on the VS. tv channel in the United States. I don't think you can even follow it live online due to media exclusivity agreements. (But news is updated on www.letour.com very quickly)

OK, that was great. Glad we got that out of the way. Now I can sit back in my chair and go back to watching today's opening rides for the tour. Seriously though, if this doesn't get you excited about living healthily and all, I don't know what will. I'm looking forward to a month of great riding and hope that this year there are minimal distractions from doping. That's like watching a playoff game that's a blowout. No fun at all!
