When you see them coming - don't blink! Those guys move so fast, it's just incredible.
p.s. I was once in Paris - on the Rue de Rivolli - for the final day of the Tour - purely by chance. It was quite a spectacle.

Er... I don't remember being asked for directions for the Tour de France..... it's my sort of navigation that would have them rounding Marble Arch instead of L'arc d'Triumph.... but honestly... I don't remember telling anyone to turn right at Calais....

And are they cycling through the chunnel?

"And are they cycling through the chunnel" I doubt it . That would require moving in a straight line.There're more drugs being pedaled on the Tour De France, than the whole of the Parisien suburbs put together.Anyway, they'll get stopped at customs!

Merde alors

*visualizing bikes with water-wings and paddles* Next, they'll be going to Quebec.

I read a book about The TDF. Quite fascinating the amount of double-dealing, bitchiness and treachery in the early days.

So,as usual, I have got to get out of Paris when this whole thing starts.Now I can't go home to London,and we were thinking of going to Canada this year,No joke!I,m beginning to think I'm being followed.They've already been in Belgium,didn't know it was in France,but who am I to put another spoke in the wheels!
