You know that I'm a huge Tour watcher and as I type this comment we are watching Le Tour faithfully. I read your post to Graham and we both felt a real twang of compassion for Fontan. These men like you said (so very well), must have the spirits of children to put their bodies and spirits through such rigor? True..true dedication that I admire greatly. Now if we all could meet in France one year and watch the peloton fly bye as we wave our flags, ring cow bells and take in all the excitement. Only to be followed up with sight- seeing and French wine! Sound good? Thanks for the great reads, now back to the boys & their bikes!<br /><br />XO happy weekend JulieDumbwit Tellherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066317770814487381.post-61413711974311525632011-07-08T15:32:29.356+10:002011-07-08T15:32:29.356+10:00brilliant post!brilliant post!simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329985554257923069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066317770814487381.post-35436948212381919442011-07-08T12:44:12.033+10:002011-07-08T12:44:12.033+10:00Julie- How did you get that photo of my 7 sisters ...Julie- How did you get that photo of my 7 sisters and me?
