Here it is, the 2011 Tour de France route. For a good, concise preview, check out this Velonews article. For everything else, try the official website.

I’ll be riding a stage of next year’s Tour. For more on this open event check out the L’étape du Tour site. You can get more on my blog page, where I’m keeping tabs of my training, etc.

If you’re looking to build up your Tour library, try Tour Climbs: The complete guide to every mountain stage on the Tour de France for planning your next cycling trip to the French mountains; French Revolutions: Cycling the Tour de France, a hilarious one-man ride of the entire route of the Tour de France one year. Probably the funniest book I’ve ever read. Finally, for some background, Le Tour: A History of the Tour De France.
