Rare longterm Posted July 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I know it's not for everyone, but watching the Tour de France is an annual treat for me; this year Viking is a major sponsor, and it's great to see all the shots of one of the river ships making its way down what I'm guessing is the Rhine. The crowds are definitely back; not a mask in sight and thousands of people lining the roads. I would love to be on the side of the road as the pelaton goes by, if I could then magically get transported back to a Viking ship, a nice dinner, and a great mid-afternoon nap. Vive le Tour! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a big fan of the Tour. Actually got to see the finish in Paris when Floyd Landis won it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. I enjoy watching European cycling. Many of my friends and relatives think that it's just boring. But then again, they watch golf. I haven't had the opportunity to see a TdF stage, but years ago, my wife and I had the opportunity to see the finish of a Giro d'Italia stage in Genoa. The route ended with 4 laps around the city, so we got to see the peleton pass by 4 times before the sprint finish. Impressive stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indianadaytripper Posted July 3, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I watched the last part of stage two today exciting but not as exciting as most of the mountain stages. Still impressive. Not many know what these bikers do to get to this caliber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
