Tour Madness

I probably should have posted this at the beginning of the tour but I think everyone who's talked to me recently has gotten an earful about the tour. It's funny because I don't watch cycling for most of the year and the last time i rode my bike was probably going back to my dorm after presenting my senior thesis.

But it's fun to have something you can be obsessed about for three weeks (to the degree of waking up at 6:30 am every morning and sometimes even earlier and constantly reading about it and telling other people about it) and leave behind until the next year. And it's especially nice when you're stressed out about other things because when you need to, you can totally turn your focus to this other thing where no other thoughts you intrude while you're watching or reading about it.

Ulimately I think it's a beautiful thing to watch people at the top of their game. Whether it's an incredible goal or a three point shot or the way someone directs and subtly maneuvers a pack of cyclists and then breaks them.
