Bretagne Guerledan. A break-away group may succeed today. There is only one
second between the Yellow Jersey and second place. WoW!

The Race
Bayeux to Vire Normandie is the 201.5km and is described as a hilly route today. Today is a route for the “Puncheurs”. The Puncheur is a rider who excels on short, steep climbs and has a strong sprint finish.
The Snack
Secret Aardvark makes a great hot sauce and when I found out they made a habanero hazelnut snack, it was a no brainer to try. The hazelnuts are yummy with a buttery salty crunch. The habanero heat lacks and did not show up to this party. This snack was enjoyable but this is a one and done.

The Race
We are in Caen France for a time trial. A time trial is
where the racers individually race a course trying to get the best time possible.
This stage is not the most exciting to watch but it is crucial to the race. The
leaders can be separated by seconds.
The Snack
The Ollaliberry is a cross between a raspberry and
blackberry. I say it is delicious.

The Race
Today is a hilly route 174.2km route from Amiens Metropole to Rouen. This route is classified as hilly but maybe should be called lumpy. There are lots of undulations to test the legs of the riders.
The Snack
I was a little hesitant to try Boba Moki. I was pleasantly surprised. This is a soft & chewy snack made of rice cake and boba. Boba are balls made from tapioca starch, derived from the cassava root. This snack is of soft texture with a nice caramel/brown sugar flavor.

The Race
Today the course is 178.5 km long from Valenciennes to
Dunkerque and is planned to be a sprinters day. It could be windy creating
havoc and mayhem in the Peleton.
The Snack
Onion Chips sounded intriguing to me. They have a slight
sweetness and combined with a crackly crunch, the salt and oil will have you
begging for another chip.
The Race
209.1 km from Lauwin-Panue to Boulogne-Sur-Mer is a hilly
route. Yesterday the sprinters were favored but today the GC (General
Classification) riders should prevail.
The Snack
Flamin’ Inferno Jalapeno Peanuts sounds daunting and was a
gift from our bbq friend Tracy. These are a tasty and addicting snack. The
salt, crunch and perfect amount of roasting make a good bite. While the title
sounds scary they are actually pretty mild with heat. Thanks Tracy.
