Aside from the spring classics, The Tour is when I really dial into road racing. I have a few things I do like clockwork as the Tour approaches.A. Order Cable. I am too cheap to have digital cable all year. I tried it once by letting a "Tour Subscription" run long, but the value isn't there. I probably watched at total of ten channels and most of them for an hour or less a week. In fact, if I could simply get the Daily Show and the Tour as some sort of bizarre custom package, I would probably be happy. So, cable for 30 days max and done.
B. Talk about setting up and office Tour pool and then not doing it. I don't know what my problem is here. This will seem like a good idea for about ten minutes and then I drop it.
C. Start imitating Phil and Paul during the day. Never fails. Random quotes in a pathetic British accent such as, "This man is on the rivot" and "resplendant in yellow" start jumping out of my yap.
D. Crack on Jan Ulrich. For obvious reasons, though he's my pick this year.
E. Feel for Jan Ulrich. I too am a porker who can't quite get in shape.
F. Eat Brie and Apples. Pathetic but tasty. Usually done on a weekend morning during a key stage. "The Look" occurred with an apple slice sticking out of my mouth.
G. Get bummed on Doping. Wears you down. Bums you out. Pisses you off. And on and on. 22 of 58 potentially? "It's nothing to be proud of Rusty."
Would someone please rock a Dopers Suck jersey on a rest day? Rest days are boring.
I would pay for a full year of cable just to see that.

the more i read your epic blog the more I want to do it. It's a week before my birthday. I don't know the first thing about epic rides but the more I get into it.
I have 4.5 months to train, and buy shit.
So far I would be the only girl on a single speed -or even the only girl.
Maybe I could make it half way before I die slowly on the side of the trail
