Like many roadies (or "cycling enthusiast"s if you want to get technical) I live for the Tour de France every year. I avoid anywhere I may see spoiler results and I never miss a stage. But like many things in this sport - why are there no girls in the Tour? Proving that girls can, in fact, ride the very same routes that the boys can - I have been following the Reve. The dream. Six amateur women cyclists who are riding the stages the days before the boys.

They are on STRAVA if you want to see the details, and they have a great blog. Please help support these lovely ladies on their journey with kudos and well wishes.

You can find their blog here
