Much to the amusement of just about everyone who knows me, I've become a Tour fan in the last few years: staying up late to watch the live broadcast on SBS, sharing Tour trivia with anyone silly enough to ask, egging on friends in Europe to stand on the roadside in silly costumes. The amusement comes from the fact that my bicycle is actually more of a habitat for spiders, and in general, I'm not into sport at all.</P> <P>Nonetheless, I figure that sitting myself in front of the TV with my laptop means that I'll have a regular schedule for writing - and the excuse to make bad analogies between cycling and thesis writing! There will, I think, be more in common with <A class="" href="http://tdf.sbs.com.au/?pid=blogs&amp;bid=2">Le Tour de Lounge</A>&nbsp;than <A class="" href="http://www.letour.fr/indexus.html">the Tour itself</A>.</P><img src="http://myresearchspace.grs.uwa.edu.au/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1848" width="1" height="1">writingstour de france
