2005 Tour de France

Will Lance win this year after all ready winning 6 consecutive Tour de France's in a row.

Today is the first day of the Tour. To see an animated map of this year's course, click onto,
"Animated Map."

It's pretty cool to know that someone is reporting the Minute-to-Minute happenings of the Tour. Who recked, who's making the best time so far, and so on. And for the record, here is
Lance's start time...18:48 Lance Armstrong (Discovery Channel)

All of the above info, I have mostly gotten from the
tourdefrancenews.com site and of course the official

Le Tour de France site, which shows great maps of each stage, gives a list of all of the riders, and even lets you place a bet on who you think will win the race. Another good place to hit for more info on the big race is the tdfblog site.

It just so happens that my very own brother is a cycling fan. Not the type of fan that drinks a beer on the side of the road and cheers on the cyclists,

but my brother actually takes his enthusiasm for cycling onto the road. He is right now preparing himself for a road race. This 200-mile bicycle ride is the largest multi-day bicycle event in the Northwest, with up to 8,000 participants riding from Seattle to Portland in one or two days.
GOOD LUCK BRO!
