Welcome,

In the summer of 2008, I started my blogging experience. I wrote about the Epic Summer, my trip to the Tour de France. It was, for sure, a bucket list item for me. I liked blogging well enough that I thought I'd continue to blog about my cycling experiences. It will be an infrequently updated blog, but I hope the updates will be interesting. If nothing else, the exercise should prove useful to improving my rather weak writing and communication skills. Thanks for checking in and I hope you enjoy.

Take care,
Jim Dennedy

Day 3a

I am hopeful to post 2x today. We had another early start, 6 AM. We have a 2hr bus ride to the mid point of todqy's stage. From there, we'll do the climb to Col d’Aspin, watch the stage finish, then ride to the hotel in Lourdes. The eats are great, I'll need the 100k (60 miles) today to burn all the calories I'm wolfing down. The French people have been great hosts and the Aussies are an easy going bunch of folks.
