I used to be more of a serious cyclist, I would ride almost 500 kilometers a week. I used to live in Florida where the weather was usually hot and sunny, and where there was no winter.

I can't remember when the release date is for the 2010 Tour de France race map, but finding the old maps is easy enough. The race seems to run through Switzerland at least once every other year.
8 days? Wow! That's incredible!

Yeah we're hoping to pick it up through Switzerland, but really asides from having decided to actually do it, we have yet to sit down and plan it all out yet. Ten to one it's not going to be a straight route as we'll come across things along the way we want to go see. :3
