I’ve got a riddle for you today.
What goes for 2,162 miles (3,479 km) at an average of 24 mph (40 kph), hitting top speeds of 50 mph (80 kph)?
Here is a clue: it’s something that has had my husband and me getting up at 6:00 am and going to bed entirely too late for the past couple of weeks and is directly responsible for the unsightly bags under my eyes.
Still don’t know?
How about these clues . . .
Enjoy the Journey by Amy Wanford – p. 69 of Stamp It! Cards Vol. 9
Bicycle Birthday by Clare Prezzia – p. 37 of Stamp It! Cards Vol. 9
Head Over Wheels by Sharon Dunn – p. 30 of Stamp It! Cards Vol. 9
And your last clue . . .
Bon Voyage by Lorena Canto Laveria – p. 23 of Stamp It! Cards Vol. 9
Cycling . . . very fast . . . lots of miles . . . over several weeks . . . in France.
Do you have the answer yet?
The answer is the Tour de France or in particular, the riders of the Tour de France! (Go Cadel Evans!) One of my favorite times of year and the only time I allow myself to watch TV for four hours a day three weeks straight. If you haven’t already been checking in, this weekend is the last to catch a glimpse at some amazing athletes doing some extraordinary stuff. (Here’s an idea – you can watch it while crafting cards!)
Of course, if biking isn’t your thing, you can always tune into the upcoming Olympics starting on July 27th. I am ridiculously excited for the Olympics. It’s a good thing I’m conditioning my body for lack of sleep now so I can function during the Olympics.
And guess what? We happen to have a bicycle-themed stamp set here from Cornish Heritage Farms, and I’d love to give it to one of you.
Just leave a comment to enter yourself to win it! All comments must be received by Monday, July 23rd at 5 pm MDT.

I love seeing bike cards and layouts. However, I can’t remember the last time I was on one…it’s been many years. Darling stamp set. Thank you for a chance to win.
I thought perhaps you’ve been riding bikes before work. Eager for the Olympics to start myself and so glad I’m retired so I don’t have to wake up to an alarm clock. Remember those days so vividly! Thanks for the chance to win thi great bicycle stamp set ~ I don’t own any…yet.
Biking is a wonderful hobby/sport for you and your husband. Thanks for a chance to win.

I love the Tour de France. (Former century rider myself, so I can still dream…)Not alot of coverage by US stations, however.
Great to see you going for our guy, Cadel, even if he is out of the running for the top spot this year! Love all the clever cards you’ve featured and they made me think of my Pop who is 100 but in his younger years was a cyclist, riding many mile in the Western Australian wheatbelt for his work in the county newspapers….
Very cute cards1 Thanks for the chance to win!
This set is just awesome and I love Cornish Heritage Farms. Thanks for the chance.

That was a very cute blog post! Well done. I shared it with my sister, too, since my brother-in-law is a serious cyclist. I like to watch the “Tour” with him in the room because he can offer good commentary! Thank you for the giveaway!
