2025 Grand Tour General Discussion

[Lapchik]

I'm not running it and I don't know exact final details or dates, so not my place to announce it. But it's related to one of the ideas I had.

You could say retired guys have an unfair advantage, because they have more time to ride or that people who are good with computers have an unfair advantage because they can do data filtering and maps better. Is it really that much of an advantage? Maps and ideas don't mean I have the time or resources to ride the routes.

I have 28 other unused Grand Tour themes in a spreadsheet with waypoints and maps in my Basecamp program. I actually don't have anything plotted for the proposed 2025 theme. I don't do anything in the winter other than read books and make maps for the upcoming ride season. I'm not a competitive person, I just like getting the shirt every year. The last two road rallies I did I chose the interesting spots over a points efficient route lol.
