all the stages of Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré. It was fun! I intended
to do the same this year but it turned out the first couple of stages
would be held tooooo far away from my home in Germany. Shame!
So I switched to Tour de Swiss. Switzerland is not too far.
I intend to visit Switzerland between 15th and 22nd. I cannot follow
all the stages simply because I have to be careful about the money. Tour
de France is nearing and I know I spend a lot of dough in July.
My plan for the moment, I will ...
- Stage 1:14th (Saturday) be working and will miss out on the stage
- Stage 2:15th (Sunday) be in Langnau im Emmental
- Stage 3:16th (Monday) be somewhere and training on my bike
- Stage 4:17th (Tuesday) ditto
- Stage 5:18th (Wednesday) be at Lukmanierpass
- Stage 6:19th (Thursday) be in Ambri, I guess
- Stage 7:20th (Friday) camp out at Klausenpass and be painting
- Stage 8:21st (Saturday) be at Klausenpass
- Stage 9:22nd (Sunday) be in Bern
This way, I will save some money while having fun and can train
myself to be fit for Tour de France.
