Hi, I'm David Tuttle from Canada and am planning on the 2024 Grand Depart.
I have begun my physical training with Trainer Road, last month... I just picked up my custom frame on Thursday and I am going to build it up so I know everything about it. Still learning about the Tour and the planning needed for the route.

Hi Dave! That's super exciting! The preparation is a wonderful part of the journey of this great adventure. I hope every pedal stroke brings you closer to the goals you've set for yourself!

Yeah, I opened the route map this morning.  It's kind of humorous to note that, after studying the route for a decade, it only takes a glance at it to notice that "something's different".  The NM changes are interesting and I wonder if these will be "this year" changes only due to local circumstances or if the goal is to make them permanent.

I also wonder at the impetus of Matt and Scott (and whoever else does the route-finding) to deviate from the original GDMBR.  I suppose the changing landscape - construction, conservation & traffic issues, etc. - forces some changes, but as a purist (whatever THAT means), my wish is to keep the race route as close to the original route (as created by the ACA) as possible.  And I still believe the Koko Claims hike-a-bike section has NO place in a cycling race!!

My next task is to map the new sections and see what height/length changes are present.  Good stuff!!

Now let the excitement begin...and the dream of one day "taking the start" continue.
