It's a triple activity Sunday for me. Usually I have nothing on my calendar on a Sunday.
I have watched the Tour de France for many, many years. I like it for strategy, but I belong to the couch peloton. It has to be 15-20 years, as it was a whole 12 years ago that I saw a stage in person in Barcelona (so cool, here's my blog post). Anyways....
I have been watching for the past 3 weeks, and today was the finale in Paris. Watched that around 9am.
That was preceded by the kick-off of Tour de France Femme avec Zwift, the new TDF for women. It is 8 days long and kicked off around 4am. These women rock.
That's usually more than enough commitments for me in a day, but I recently decided to broaden my world by joining some virtual book clubs, and today was the first meeting. It was at noon, so I was 'rushing' from the men's TDF to a Zoom meeting.
The book club was great. The book was 1984 by George Orwell, which I recently read (I am working my way through all of Orwell's works, I really like his writing). What a great group of people, and the most intellectually stimulating 3 hours I've spent in a long time.
