tour de France
 
With 90% of sports talk radio devoted to talking of trades and draft choices it's nice to see some actual sport taking place.  OLN (Outdoor Life Network) is showing the Tour de France daily.  Yesterday I saw Lance Armstrong battling his way to second place through the Pyrenees.  It's incredible watching the cyclists make those steep climbs.
 
Today was a short segment on the tour into the city of Nimes so not as exciting as yesterday.  The race resumes on tuesday when they head to the alps.
 
It's been pleasantly mild this July with relatively low humidty and temperatures in the low 80's.
