I was asked by Bikestyle Tours to help out with the cycling tours that they conduct during the TdF. I met the owners last year when I was a client of Bikestyle Tours for the Spring Classics (amazing trip, and well worth going if you can). Let me tell you, I was pretty excited to be offered the opportunity to go to France and see the TdF (again).
So here I am deciding what to take and what not to take… These choices are very important, and not something taken lightly.
The first thing I have packed are my SIDI’s, pedals and riding gear. I think I’ve chosen what heels to take. There are three pairs so far but I would like to get that down to two by the 5 July. There’s the LBD for the evening in Paris of the last stage, but that is it. Do I take jeans, shorts, what shirts? etc. etc. Ok, I know I’ll figure it out, but I really don’t want to pay nearly $500.00 excess on my return trip out of Brussels like last time. So some serious packing will be done this weekend.
I am looking forward to catching up with friends, helping out on the cycling trips and watching such an amazing race. I will try to keep you all up to date on what I’m doing, as well as throw in a few pictures when I can.
I’m also going on a small trip to Belgium/The Netherlands after the TdF to attend the Crits. So this will be a lot of fun and I’ll keep you all up to date on that as well. Just found out I’ll be in Belgium for the Tour de Wallonie, I’m looking forward to going to watch this race as my favourite rider, Philippe Gilbert should be riding. Hoping to have some exciting news and pictures from this race.
I hope you stay tuned, will post more updates once I get to France.

P.S. Ohh, and thought you might like to see my shoes im taking 
and my SIDI’s, not going all the way to France and Belgium and not ride.
Love the shoes and especially the cool blue Sidi’s.
Back home nad nothing seems as good as it was in Europe ! especially the bread.
