Schleck! Spain!

A skinny doper rose up and stamped his authority onto the bicycle race and in a surprise to some it was the Luxembourger, not the Spaniard. I admit to being a bit surprised. But Schleck is the one I predicted to win.

We rode into a quite strong SW wind. That wind often leads us here:The Spanish football team had a better result than the bicyclist, prevailing 1-0. Spain scores in extra time to hoist the Cup for the first time in history.

Tomorrow is a Tour de France rest day. The football is over. There isn't any tennis. It seems like it has been at least six weeks since there wasn't at least one of those sports available for viewing. There was a very short break between the French Open and the beginning of the World Cup but that was over a month ago and the briefness of that pause causes it to fade in memory.

Tomorrow I may have to watch "The Price is Right".
