Le Tour de France

[MsTinkerbelly]

I've watched in the past, but this years view came from our friends Viv and Pete who live in Lincoln and attended the race.

They uploaded video of the race coming by them, and for the first time i could see just how fast they really are as they flew by, and how much excitement there was in the air!

Hmmmm free plane tickets, stay with V and P, we might have to think about next year!

It's not coming to the UK next year sadly. Maybe in 2 or 3 yrs time it'll come back.
Next year's Grand Depart is in Utrecht, Netherlands. It's only an hour by air to Amsterdam from here. From Lincoln it's a short hop from Humberside or Robin Hood airports.

Any over-the-air or streaming options?

Wondering exactly how hypocritical I'd feel going to the gym and sitting on a recumbent bike to watch it. Hmm...

You have no doubt found this by now.

Main site. http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2015/us/

You can find links and stuff in some places.

You can google around to try to find things.

Otherwise, if you want it all, you can pay $29.99 for live streaming/recorded for the whole tour, or less for get an app for live streaming only. You can also buy by the day.

So, really, not good options besides paying.

Good to have you this year!

Sweet!

I had not done the leg work yet, so thanks. I'll check the schedule and see what I can work-around.

Thanks for the links.

Surprisingly, there are actually some decent t-shirts this year. First year I have ever seen that. I looked a month or so ago and they didn't have anything good. Now there is a bunch of new stuff.

If you want anything from the store, today would be the day to buy. The stuff sells out quickly and it seems they never restock.

You have to pay for shipping though. Standard delivery is 3-7 days, too.

Kelt, if you have an interest in learning more, you might want to order one of these programs:

I wanted to take a moment to say RIP to Daktari who loved to ride and loved the Tour. I looked forward to talking with him about it every year. I was also jealous that he could ride a unicycle! RIP, my friend.
