Only two days until the first stage of the Tour de France   A lot of people will probably find cycling kind of boring to watch, but I love it.  I watched every minute of last year's Tour that I possibly could.  I'm a huge Lance Armstrong fan, and this year's going to be his last before retiring, so I have to catch all of it that I can.  Not only do I enjoy watching him race, but I think what he's doing with the Lance Armstrong Foundation to help the fight against cancer is amazing. 

I got this pic from www.grahamwatson.com.  Graham Watson takes some amazing pictures of the riders and the landscapes of the Tour.  If you've never seen his stuff, I encourage you to at least take a glance at a few of his pictures.

For those of you who don't know, Lance has won the last 6 Tours, a record.  It would be huge if he won this year and beat the record he set.  It amazes me that anyone could ever do this, let alone doing it after battling cancer. 

If anyone is interested, both Lance's books were really good.  "It's Not About the Bike" and "Every Second Counts" go through his fight with cancer and some of his more recent victories.  I highly recommend them.
