We're heading into Paris this weekend! (Tour de France)

This has been this most read book in our house this month. Its the most loved magazine in many Australian TdF homes, because it has everything you ever want to know about the tour.
Articles with a strong focus on the teams all Aussies love...
And all the other teams. 

The magazine guide comes with a wall map of each stage outlined. We might be the only household that actually hangs it up, but we refer to this most nights. We liked to check if we've been there before, and where each stage is heading. Its also a conversation starter with guests... 

What can I say.... 
The editors know their audience!

 And when the race is quiet (rarely), theres many other articles of interest..
And rider profiles...
And here is Caleb... so far, hes won two stages this year. 

Who would like a copy of this? Im happy to send a copy to 2 Paris in July participants. If you're interested, comment below, naming either your favourite team or rider.

Major upset today in 19th etappe Tour de France! (26.07.2019)
Race was stopped due hailstorm and mudslides...too dangerous to proceed!
Unfortunately many riders were disappointd
....especially Alaphillipe who lost his yellow sweater! Bernall takes the lead!
Tomorrow will be the LAST chance to change the race TOP 4 riders

Today was insane!!!! I am loving this year's race.

And I would love a copy of that magazine if you don't mind sending it to the U.S. How awesome!! My favorite team is Movistar, and favorite rider is Mikel Landa!! :)

Your boy Caleb Ewan is having a great race. I am so excited whenever he wins too, he has such joy.

NancyEkin & Erin, yourobviously following it closely too. Our hearts sank when they called the end 20km early...there was still some jostling to do before the finish line. Still, safety first. There's no way i wpuldve riden thro that water either. Erin, the first copy of the Official Guide is yours.

Sorry to say, but I have never understood the charm with biking (more than biking myself). I guess warching it on TV can be ok, but being out there and stand waiting in a special place and the ...wosh ... they pass in no time at all. You cannot see that much of the run. But, as with all sports, once you are stuck there is no way out. Wishing you an ecxiting tour and that all is well for the bikers in this heat.

If no one else has claimed it, count me in! I missed more of the tour than I wanted because I was north with no cable; then home; then traveling. We would try to get our hosts to turn to it with limited (but some) success. But I followed as much as I could when I got online and did see the hailstorm day (Friday?) and a bit of Saturday at the end. (That wasn't all, but those were pretty interesting as things changed so much!)

I'm hoping better luck next year!
