Cancer and heart disease run through my family like dark hair and brown eyes. But, in spite of that, I don’t …

Ready to ride.
July in our house means the Tour. In case you don’t know what Tour – I mean Le Tour de France. Watching the tour, listening to the podcasts (the best one is former tour director Johan Bruyneel discussing tactics and strategies on The Move) and reading the news, le tour is all-encompassing. This year the race started in Belgium to …
