My poor blog–I’ve been neglecting it. Life has been a little busy, and even edged toward crazy.

As many of you know, I started covering the Tour de France at the Examiner.com at the beginning of July. I really enjoyed it. I discovered my inner Lance groupie and even fell in love with Phil Liggett. I mean, seriously! this guy is the bomb! Even Cameron Diaz wanted to meet him when she and Tom Cruise got VIP passes to the Tour. So not fair.

The National Cycling Examiner actually went to France to watch the Tour and cover it from there. I wonder if he purchased the Versus HD access online so he could later watch the Tour on Versus and hear Phil’s magnificent commentary.

I will continue to cover cycling on the Examiner. I’m really enjoying it. I plan to do a mix of international and local coverage. It is supposed to be local, but the national coverage is where it’s at for someone trying to gain a little financial stability.

Check my Michigan cyclist’s guide to the Tour de France to see what I’ve been doing.
