Tour de France LogoThis post is a recap of the Tour de France 2023 week 1/7 stages…

Stage 1

I started last Friday at our stop-over near Montréjeau, heading for the Port de Balès.

We had a little trouble navigating there and as I looked at the route on the Strava app, I decided to start a recording.

Which turned out to be a good thing, as I managed to get rid of the Garmin recording at the end of the stage🤦‍♂️

Tour de France 2023 – Taper Week

Tour de France LogoTaper week for my Tour de France 2023 has begun.

Next Friday, stage one of my Tour de France 2023 is on the menu.

Tour de France 2023 – Countdown

Tour de France 2023 countdown has begun. I haven’t planned much yet, though…

It will be day three, but you should know I usually kick of with a prologue.

A tradition I might actually break with this year, as my prologue’s are nothing like the pro’s short (T)TT’s to kick off many grand tours.

But this years Tour de France – two possible GC contenders short after day 1 – didn’t get off to an easy start either.

So, looking at what I have planned, I might start with stage 1 as well…

Tour de France 2023

Tour de France LogoI finally got to cycle the Pyrenees during my Tour de France 2023.

Okay, that should probably read “in the Pyrenees” for I cycled in the central part of the French Pyrenees range.

It would have been nice to cycle the “Raid Pyrenees” that is (also) available as a Tacx series of RLV’s.

This is covering many Pyrenees climbs, from East to West, and I’ve done that indoors.
