The Race
Today is a 10.0 km time trial from Loudenvielle to
Peyragudes. This is not your ordinary boring time trial because the course is
basically uphill. Even though this is stage is not edge of your couch viewing
it is vital for racers to gain/loose precious seconds in time in the overall
standings.
The Snack
Chocolate, everybody loves chocolate.

The Race
Auch-Hautacam; Gesundheit. I just am easily amused by the
French city names. 180.6km mountain stage will be a test of attrition. The race
leaders will be tested.
The Snack
Unusual seasonal flavored nuts are on the plate today. These
may not be available anymore because they are just plain odd… but tasty. I am not sure if I would identify pumpkin but
I do get a hint of cinnamon, cloves and ginger. I rather liked them.

The Race
We start and end in a 156.8km loop from Toulouse. This is a
fairly flat course. It also should be hot. The end promises to have a roller
coaster terrain which will hinder the sprinters.
The Snack
The race will be hot and a great way to cool down is with
California watermelons. Today you can buy seedless varieties which takes out
the fun of spitting the seeds. Ms. Goofy appreciates that.

Today is the first official mountain stage. We are going
165.3km Ennezat to Le Mont-Dore Puy De Sancy. Those French sure has some funny
town names. This uphill battle will bring out the climbers.
The Snack
Ritz Habanero crackers are a decent enough snack to nibble
on. The habanero in the title does not live up to its potential heat level and
really is disappointing for that.

The Race
A flat 174.1km course that starts in Chinon and ends in
Chateausroux will be fast and furious.
The Snack
Dee’s Nuts has a Banana Nan ner pudding flavored peanut
snack that caught my eye. Yes it tastes like bananas. Did I like it and recommend?
To quote Nancy Reagan; “Just say no!”

The Race
Saint-Meen-Le-Grand to Laval Espace Mayenne is a 171.4km flat route. Sprinters are ready to make this a fast and probably a little dangerous at the end.
The Snack
Hot honey fudge delivers to this sweet tooth of mine. It has very pleasant warmth and is not hot at all. This is a winner.
