Bl00dy Typical!!!

So...I'm going on holiday to France, organised some months ago.
Tonight it occurred to me, "Tour de France is on while I'm there, wonder if it passes anywhere nearby."

Closest place to visit on the last day of the holiday would be Albi, the finish of Stage 10; 3½ sodding hours drive away!!

Ah well, maybe next year.

Have you got your Crit Air sticker?

If he ain't going to Paris he's fine.




















Cue gasman telling us he's going to Paris in his 1982 Mercedes diesel with 456,320 miles on the odo.

Watching the TDF is all about the anticipation and the atmosphere. If you're not on a hill the riders will pass so fast that it's all over in seconds.

I'm not going to Paris; closer to Bergerac. Looks like being f@(king hot, though.

The Crit Air zones are spreading now Drago, quite a few cities with it already and plenty more coming on board.

Think I messed that up a bit, seem to have my answer in Dragos text???

The in-laws live in France. Apparently it's so hot there that they're having to stay indoors with the curtains closed trying to keep cool - they say you simply cannot go outside during the day due to the ferocity of the heat.

Enjoy your holiday.

Oui, il fait très chaud
I've been in Le Bourg-d'Oisans since the 18th.

We’re currently riding St Malo to Nice and it’s hotter than hell. We’re getting up at 0500 and trying to get 60-70 miles in by 1300-1400 then lounging around campsite pools for the remainder of the day. Hottest so far 43.8 degrees as we pulled in to one campsite a few days ago. Today’s Max was only 35. If it drops to 33 tomorrow we’ll ride an hour or two extra after lunch

My Gawd that's too hot for cycling. Chapeau to you and n'oubliez pas vos chapeaux!

Agree with that. A mere 30° here yesterday and I found my 30 miler hard work.
