Waking up early in July to watch the Tour de France
There’s something so relaxing and pleasurable about casually watching hours of relatively uneventful bike racing, sweeping shots of the beautiful European countryside, Bob and Phil’s commentary, occasional drama, and the exciting sprints at the finish line. And you get 3 weeks of it, so for a short period every summer, it becomes a quiet part of your morning routine.
I only wish there were more options for watching it outside of Peacock, but if you still have a subscription from the Olympics, you can easily watch. I’m not even a “sports person” and I love it so much.

“Okay I admit that it’s difficult to understand, but once you wrap your head around the strategy, the routes, the jerseys, the culture, the history, the personalities… you have to agree that stage racing is the most beautiful, most insane, most difficult sport in the world. I can’t wait for July!!!”

“Do I know the slightest about the art of cycling competitively? No. Does it take me back to hazy nightfeeds in the newborn phase? Most certainly. A constant companion. Vive la Tour!”
