The Tour

I love this time of year, most especially for the Tour de France. For those who don't know, it is an annual bike race held each year in France, usually spanning the month of July. It is the premiere bike race in the world. The winner of the Tour is given the yellow jersey--the most coveted shirt ever. I love it: the competition, the difficulty (try climbing Alpe d'Huez), everything. In honor of the race, I found some old photos on Life. Enjoy!
