Following the tour is a bit like appreciating the work of Raoul Duke.
You just have to see past the drugs ...

I certainly appreciate the endeavour; after all, the endurance required to get through the stages day after day makes a marathon look like walk in the park. But as a live sporting spectacle the whole thing leaves me flat. I feel there's something else I should be doing when I'm sat watching which, I guess, is as clear an indication as you can get that I'm not fully engaged*.

You'll have to excuse me, I'm feeling slightly twisted just at the moment. We set sail for Bewl in 45 minutes and I'm feeling as naked and unprepared as I ever have for a running event. Fear and self-loathing at the breakfast table you might say. It's an ugly scene, made worse by the fact I'll be traveling to and fro in a wagon full of svelt, honed athletes.
