Uh... women's basketball is still on, although not often. Football should start in another month or so.

What to do now
To disable ads, please log-in.
I am a little bummed and glad at the same time.
I am bummed that the Tour is over. No more watching cycling while getting ready for work, getting home from work, you know, any time cycling was on
. I was hoping that Hincapie would do better.
On the other hand, I am glad the Landis won. He fought for the yellow and deserved it. This was an exciting year for the Tour. So many changes. So, what do I watch now?

Get the DVD. I've never even thought about owning previous TdF DVDs but I can't wait to get this one. Such an emotional, super-human, true grit, touching three weeks.

We bought a bundle of blank DVDs and recorded... we have all the half hour packages on three DVDs (in sequence, of course)
We also have the first TT on one DVD, one of the Pyrenese stages, and one of the Alps stages...
We meant to do it last year but we missed some of the highlights packages...
Great to have when its raining and you have to ride indoors...

World Cycling Productions always has DVD's of the Tour available. Don't know how long it takes to get them in once the Tour is over, though. www.worldcycling.com. There may be others that are better... don't know. Anyone?

What do we watch now? Nothing! Go ride!
(OK, if it's too hot, maybe the trainer with any of the TdF DVDs from the last 8 years!)
I haven't had television for 16 years now. Sure, I'd love to watch things like cycling and the Olympics, but I survive OK without it. I'm afraid that if I did have it, I wouldn't ride. I'd be too busy learning how to cook fabulous meals and watching things like Arsenic and Old Lace!

Yeah,
I am also feeling The Generally Agreed Upon Grown-up Real World Circumstantial Reality biting at the back of my neck now the Tour is over.
Awaiting the Vuelta...

Excellent link, slinkedog (any relation to spazzdog?), thank you for posting it! Now, do I want to get one of those Landis t-shirts or not...?

I finally got my front yard weeded, when it was still below 80 degrees out. It's now 90 degrees in the shade here.

Really missing it...
Watched the last stage into Paris twice last night
How sad is that?
Any of you gals wanna bike over to my house (well, you might have to be duathletes cause it will involve a load of swimming for alot of you as well)...
but if any of you wanna come on over, you can watch it with me...
