| Remember this beauty? Time to spin it up! |
I've been spinning for a few years but I've never participated in the Tour de Fleece. That's an online "contest" (maybe I should call it a "challenge?") that involves spinning every day the Tour de France riders ride, if possible.
That's Saturday July 2nd through Sunday July 24th. I've heard there are rest days (Monday July 11th and Monday July 18th) but I'm not sure how that works.
It's kind of fun in that on a day when something especially challenging is going on, you are supposed to spin something especially hard. That's Wednesday, July 20th, when the Tour has an intense mountain stage through five mountain passes. I love going up hills on my bike (although, oddly, not going down) so I'm looking forward to that one!

| This Lincoln Long Wool has always seemed challenging to spin. |
All participants are supposed to wear yellow on Sunday, July 24, to announce victory as yellow is the color of the race leader in the Tour. I'm not sure how that will go - I actually don't own anything yellow - but we'll see . . . I'm much more of "polka-dot jersey" wearer as that signifies you are a climber.

| Perhaps I'll start with these curly locks? |
So, I invite you to join me in the fun! Maybe we'll take the break on July 18th to go see "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?"
