Lesley Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 .........or more importantly.......... Does anyone have the Tour de France booklet they'd be willing to let me have? I purposely bought the Guardian on Monday for the booklet - I haven't read it yet..................... Last night the dog ate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Mad dog - fortunately she ignored the bar of chocolate which was next to it I got up and left Carl and Jazz together in the lounge, Carl got up to take a glass to the kitchen - and she demolished it in 30 seconds! Carl only made matters worse by saying "I thought you were watching her" - I left the room first - very close to putting them both in the outside kennel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll ask my sister, although she doesn't get it daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina C Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Sorry Lesley I haven't got it either - but there is a magazine called Cycling Weekly that is out on Thursdays that will no doubt have lots of info on the tour - and there is a tour website too http://www.letour.fr/indexus.html The Eurosport website will probably have info too. Sorry if I am telling you what you already know! I wanted to go and watch on Saturday but I don't think I can - shame because I saw it last time it came over, and when it started in Ireland too.

Lesley Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Thank you Tina - I know about the website but hadn't thought about the magazine I like to have something to refer to whilst watching - I have a head like a sieve these days Carl's birthday falls in the second week - mountains! - for his 40th, I'd planned to be staying in the Alps so that we could watch a stage there, then his best friend decided to get married that weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Tell him he can't have his present this year and will have to wait a whole year because of his friend's sense of timing I have been to Alpe D'Huez and Galibier. Amazing (its just one great big party on Alpe D'Huez). Cycle Sport (monthly mag) also covers the tour well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 I worded that badly Tina - he will be 42 this year, his birthday always falls in the second week We did plan to go when he was 41 - but we'd just bought this farm - no holidays Alpe d'Huez would be amazing! Carl asked at the village shop for Cycling Weekly - the owner asked why can't they cycle a bit harder then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
