Dear reader, allow me to digress from my Egypt postings to talk about cycling! I will certainly put up more about my great trip to Egypt (and a couple of other countries, too!) but it's presently the eve of the 100th edition of the Tour de France and I'm far too excited to think about anything other than cycling at the moment. In case you're less familiar with how the grand tours operate, I've put together a short guide explaining the basic premise based on this year's Giro d'Italia.
Happy watching and vive le tour!
