I’m a big fan of the Tour de France. I watch it religiously, and I am an avid cyclist. So what better than to go to France, ride some of the stages with the racers, and watch them compete?!?!
RideStrong Bike Tours allows me to do just that.
I figure if I start training this summer, and keep it up through the winter I should be ready for the 2008 Tour.
Anyone else want to participate?

Surrender to smooth and creamy Galaxy milk chocolate. This is what the lovely buff-coloured package is encouraging me to do – surrender to the divine milky sweetness of the best chocolate in the world!Â
Since the bar arrived this morning, fresh from England by way of a co-workder, I’ve managed to resist. As the minutes creep by I can feel myself giving in. It won’t be long now until I break off a piece and enjoy all the chocolaty goodness that is Galaxy 
If you’ve never tired it, head to your nearest candy store and pick up a bar. You won’t regret it.
