I don't know much about the tour de france. Can you give me a rundown...
ummm where to start.... how about ways in which the TdF challenge can relate. I want to make my goal fit the theme.  Well its a race held of 23 days... 21 one of which the riders are on their bikes (the other two days are rest days) They all start together each day and there are winners jerseys for the lowest total time raced (yellow jersey), most consistent finisher (green) and mountain climbers (polka dots) plus the best young rider (white jersey) and most aggressive rider (red number) and best team Ummm.. some people ride to try and win one of the jerseys, some try to win one of the days... and others jobs are as domestiques (helpers) to look after the big name riders, fetch them water and give them a spare wheel or bike if they have mechanical issues on the road. Does this help? |
