The Tour de France starts in less than two days. For three weeks, entries on this blog will almost exclusively be devoted to course elevations, stage summaries and anything else that involves climbing up French mountains -- with a brief San Diego Comic-Con 2005 interlude.
I won't be pulling off the Tour de France/Comic-Con/Artificial Intelligence Conference triple attack of yesteryear that lead to my all-time peak of 89 posts in one month. Going to an academic conference the day after four days of Comic-Con crashed my brain, so I am looking forward to the reduced mental exertion in favor of more physical exertion.
I'm thinking of getting a stationary stand for my bicycle so that I can get in shape while watching other people bike; I'll need all the conditioning I can get to bust through packs of Stormtroopers at Comic-Con. I want a stand that can sync with the Tour coverage and adjust the elevation of the bike accordingly. Then I could sit on the couch, look at my upward-tilted bike and say, "Man, that MUST be a steep hill -- pass me some more beer."
So this is your final warning: unsubscribe now, or prepare for the onslaught.

I'm looking forward to your commentary and, perhaps more importantly, your explaination of strategy. It's largely what makes it all interesting to me since I know so little. Last year was pretty engrossing with it all.
