Tour de France.
Like the World Cup of soccer, the best of sports on a global scale.
Or as my grade 8 teacher, Brother Victor, once referring to soccer as the only true world game, might say, this is the absolute summit of such a simple thing as bicycling.
It doesn’t hurt that France is a spectacularly beautiful country – and the finish of this race runs around the Arc de Triomphe.
One can only hope that we will always have Paris!
