Happy Fourth of July to everyone from the birthplace of the nation, Philadelphia!
I thought I would use today’s post for a few reminders:
1. Don’t forget to VOTE in this month’s Monthly Wine Writing Challenge! The poll stays open until Monday.
2. The Tour de France starts tomorrow! If you want in on my Tour Fantasy League, let me know soon!
From USA Today. Unfortunately, most Tour photos with an American flag in it also contain a disgraced cyclist….
3. I mentioned a while back that I would be heading to France this September to lead a bike trip and asked you which I should do: Loire Valley or Burgundy. Well, I am going to do both (along with a week in Belgium). It is not too late to join me! Here is the company:
I am starting to get some winery visits organized!

Tour Fantasy League…I can’t believe that’s even a thing (which probably shows you just how out of touch I am with the world of biking)

A biking wine trip sounds fabulous. One of these years, I’ll join you. I may be 85, but that’s OK, right?

Sure! Since you look lil you’re about 28, I will be dead when you’re 85, though.

Vive le Tour!! You’re killing me with the “both” thing . . . I WISH I could go!! Dang kids, school, soccer, marching band, etc. One of these times. BTW, my husband got me clipless pedals/shoes for the tandem. Haven’t tried them out yet, but for sure it’ll be a Kodak moment. Cheers & Happy 4th!

What grade is your kid in marching band? My daughter just graduated high school. She plays the French horn and will be attending Ohio State University to pursue music and international business.

Wait, is your daughter going to be in the Best Damned Band in the Land (TBDBITL)????

Happy Independence Day! Thank you for the reminder re: Tour de France. I taught indoor cycling classes for many years. During the Tour each year I would simulate a leg of the tour each week in my hour long class. It was awesome! I loved having the participants leave soaking wet and practically unable to walk. We focused a lot on the hill climbs. Brings back great memories. I have never been much of an outdoor cycling but indoor it is hands down my favorite cardio! Your tour sounds great. Cheers
