I dont think winning the polka dot means that much, I think (haven
look up the stats) but Armstrong could of won the jersey before i
Virenque did not do his insane all day breakaways. (not meaning t
turn this into a debate)

So they weren't insane then

You gonna go? I just booked tix for London flight in April.
Assuming I have money left in July (it is July right?) I'll probably
head over there! Oooh.. exciting stuff!!! :)

Would you go as an organised tour or solo?

Any particular stages?

I've lent a bike for a few weeks to a swedish girl (holidaying in
Bunbury)who normally works as a journalist covering the big rides. She
said if I'm ever in France she can arrange a day pass to the Tour. Maybe
I should go? What's a day pass anyway?

Well all day breakaways on flat or mountain stages at the tour would b
insane any day of the week. Whether you win a jersey or not

I'm thinking organised tour with some riding. Don't know whether to d
the Alps or Pyrenees though I think Alps would be better as that's whe
we'll know if Lance is still the dominant figure in the race. Could b
exciting. On the other hand, if it's a cliff hanger - the Pyrenee
would be better. Oh well, it's all good

They've heard you're coming:

'London prepares for Hippy's arrival' (http://tinyurl.com/3hpsk)

Woo hoo! Only 1 mile (that's 1.6k for the Aussies) from my flat.
Available now, rent negotiable... :D

Cheers,

I did his Channel to Med but know someone who did his Raid Pyreneen. He
is an ex pro and was mightily impressed.
