Tour de France 2022

The Tour de France started yesterday afternoon. It was on my radar to watch the first stage at 2 pm but I forgot until that evening. I saw that NBC had a YouTube channel devoted to the tour and so last night before we went to bed we watched some of the Stage 1 highlights which was in Copenhagen Denmark. It turned out to be a very rainy, foggy day which was a little bit of a disappointment because I really like watching the towns and countryside and was looking forward to seeing some of Copenhagen. There were several crashes on those slick rainy streets but still interesting to watch.

Today Stage 2 was on from 8 am until about noon and we had the TV on the entire time watching it off and on. We watch the tour a lot because of the scenery and the ride along the North Sea coast of Denmark was spectacular. Towards the end of the stage they raced across a very large bridge and causeway between land masses. There were amazing views and lots of wind for the riders. A very entertaining stage.

Tomorrow they will be in Denmark for one more day before moving on to France for the rest of the race. Hopefully we can watch more of the race next week when we are in Long Lake and then the following week when we return home.
