  1. The Tro Bro Leon looks like an interesting race, I wonder
    if they have to clear the cows off the roads for a rolling
    enclosure:

    Someone from Brittany is going to have to explain what
    that thing is in the background - a giant mushroom?
    a hay bale wearing a knit slipcover?

    It's gotta be a little disturbing when the race motos show up
    riding dirt bikes.

    Nah, there've been a couple of occasions I didn't have the time to get
    all the mud off the bike from a previous race, but that definitely
    looks like an interesting race.

    I don't know how it's classified now, but it used to be Brittany's amateur
    equivalent to Paris Roubaix. What you see is what you get: in lieu of
    cobbled roads, a lot of the course was on farm paths through fields.

    LOL. I know what a menhir is (what French I know, I learned
    from Asterix books, like everybody else) and even a dolmen,
    but that is the first one I have seen with landscaping or
    a blanket or whatever the hell that is on top.

    Regarding this:

    It looks like a representation of the most enormous French onion soup
    ever. Too bad it got moldy...
