mapmyride-le-tour-de-france-challenge.jpgWish no longer, now YOU can actually participate in the Tour de France!

….virtually.

Yep, that’s right. You simply get out and ride your bike, MapMyRide will do the rest!

Read on to see how it works, but beware of Ben Stiller stealing your bike, like he did to Lance Armstrong the other day…

 

 

MapMyRide.com and Versus.com have teamed up to bring us the Le Tour Challenge.

As described above, simply get out and ride your bike, submit your ride to MapMyRide.com (which I’ve raved about before), and see how you would have stacked up against the pro’s had you actually been riding in France for that stage.

Did I mention there are prizes to be won?!

Yep! There are $1,000’s of dollars in prizes to be had for participating. Everything from prizes for top performers and random drawings for everyone participating (because we wouldn’t wanna get all performance-based acceptance and all…).

Le Tour on Twitter

Unless you’ve been living in a cave this month, you know that this year Lance Armstrong is back in le Tour.

If you’d like to show your support for the LIVESTRONG foundation, you can add a LIVESTRONG wristband to your twitter avatar with one click!

The image pictured is how Lance Armstrong’s twitter avatar looks with the LIVESTRONG wristband.

By the way, he’s an avid twitterer and his videos from the tour are hilarious (like the above Ben Stiller one).

My avid cycling friends @heyrick and @jimpalmer have already added the LIVESTRONG wristband to their avatars. Join in the fun!

Of course you can always follow me on twitter for great green fun! Drop your name and a link to your twitter profile in the comments if you added the LIVESTRONG wristband to your avatar.

I think every little step toward living green is an awesome one… but eco-snobbery sucks! My goal is to help newbies learn the most important steps toward living green — individually and collectively. Personally, I strive to have as little impact as possible on Planet Earth while I'm here.

JoshuaAs an advocate for good health, I usually try to choose the 'greener' option over other more dangerous and/or wasteful options. Generally, if it's bad for your health or the planet, I try to avoid it. In my effort to live green... on a budget, I like to find new (healthier) budget-friendly ways to do things -- from eating and cleaning to recycling and home decorating. My goal is to help you take the chore out of living green by sharing fun new ecofriendly ideas that you can try today... or any day! My all-time favorite way to live green is to repurpose items and give them a new use -- I've written a lot of useful DIY articles.

LynnetteMy experience with living green consists of taking baby steps (like making one big change each year as my New Year's resolution) -- because I've seen too many people burn out on trying to 'Save the Planet'. I share a lot of Simple Ways To Go Green, as I find new and successful strategies that have worked for me. While I'm baby-stepping my ecofriendly habits in life, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
