Final day of Tour de France

Today will be an epic fight for tour pride on the cobbles around the

Memories like collecting donations for all the worthy causes, riding to complete fatigue, and the anticipation of riding with friends again the next year. This year was no different, and the challenges were large and persistent. We started early, under overcast skies and heavy anticipation of eventual rain. It wasn’t more than 20 minutes into th...
