My tour of France
Commitment: the decision to ride in the Tour de France. Try to find another team sport that requires better than three weeks and two thousand miles of hilly highway to reach a climax. As seen from the air, the participants are dressed in jerseys that look like a collision between a rainbow and a NASCAR hood. From the ground, think of the fastest you’ve ever gone on your bicycle and accept that “those guys” would probably be faster going uphill. Not for the rest of us, the chaos of the crashing peloton.
