Boy the Tour has taken its toll

After 17 stages and a roller coaster of an Alpine few days, I'm thoroughly exhausted. Been managing to listen to bits and pieces at work or read the coverage or on a rare day, watch the stage but this is what cycling is all about.

Our friendly 6-some has been keeping track and currently doing pretty well [no spoilers and this is just luck, really] but as with the Tour itself, its not over until Paris. [can we go to Paris??]

Anyone have suggestions on prizes for the top 3 winners?? We've been considering gift certificates to coffee places or doughnut shops...or maybe funny tour memorabilia.

Hope you are all well and just as Tour crazed as I am.

You know its bad when across 3 time zones you get a message just after the stage finishes wanting to talk about the stage...under the assumption that you [me] have already heard the news.
