TOUR DE FRANCE 2025 is under way on home soil (in France) for the first time in 5 years. Tour riders took to their saddles on July 5 and pedaled off in the northern French city of Lille for the first of 21 stages and 3,339 kilometers (2,070 miles) of intense riding. The final stage will be on July 27 and sees a break from the traditional parade-like finish as riders tackle narrow cobbled streets as they climb Montmartre Hill three times. It adds suspense to what is usually a low-key last day but has prompted questions over security with massive crowds expected, just like during last year’s Olympics.  A total of 184 riders representing 23 teams lined up for the start. Withdrawals are commonplace: some due to injury, others due to fatigue or an inability to cope with mountain stages. A total of 141 riders finished last year’s race from 176 entrants. The race features 21 stages: seven flat, six hilly and six in the mountains.

U.S. viewers can follow the race via NBC and Peacock.

PROTECT THE DOLPHINS

NEWS:A UNIQUE AND MEANINGFUL GIFT: “ADOPT A WILD DOLPHIN”

I JUST “ADOPTED” a wild dolphin–His name is “Wonder”- I received a “Certificate of Adoption”, a brief life history and color photograph of my dolphin–and a hard copy of the book “An Ocean of Inspiration”–The John Olguin Story. Each dolphin has its own Facebook page (and there are 300 yet to be adopted.) All this for only $30 + $5 for shipping in the U.S. ( Or, perhaps, just get a copy of this wonderful book for $15 + $3 for shipping in the U.S. ) This makes a gift that truly supports a great cause.(Note: You will be helping a dolphin scientist with further exploration, observation and research to help preserve these special mammals. Support the Palm Beach Dolphin Project- For info:harzen@taras.org or 561-762-6473Click here to watch this video of a dolphin show- CLICK HERE Note By Scientist, Explorer, Author, Dolphin Researcher-Dr. Stefan Harzan: If you have an opportunity to swim with dolphins…why not do it in the open ocean? There, the dolphins may stay close or have the freedom to swim away. It is so much better, because we meet them on their terms.

Contact to adopt your own dolphin: Harzen@Taras.org or 561-762-6473
