I watched it all. I taped it all. Some stages were boring, but I always found something I didn't know. I tried to listen when they were talking about mechanical issues or better ways to ride.

I completed manipulated the only TV in the house with Cable. I'm usually watching my familys shows: Football, baseball, golf, or MTV, some teen drama or SNL. My family knows July is my TV month.

After a while all my friends knew too. So now I'm loaning out the tapes with the different stages.

I also wore my TDF hat, t-shirt and livestrong band during the event.

I'm saving up for a new bike, so I'll have to postphone the trip to France for a while....
