I love July! Why? Apart from Summer & sunshine, the bulk of this month is consumed by the Tour de France. In my opinion the world’s most exciting cycling competition.

This year’s race starts in the beautiful principality of Monaco on Saturday the 4th — with the traditional finish in Paris on Sunday the 26th of July.

What more can one ask for?

Here’s a teaser video

And, of course, you can visit the Tour’s awesome website.

I am soooo excited!!!!
