Live updates … getcher live updates here … live updates, get ’em while they’re hot. …
If any of you folks enjoy Charles “Live Update Guy” Pelkey’s play-by-play from the grand tours, especially the Tour de France, pop round to his website and let him know.
He’s on the bubble about calling this year’s Tour, as he has a bit of lawyerin’ to do in his button-down persona as Consigliere Pelkey, Lawyer of Laramie. So if you’re a LUG nut stuck in the cube farm for three weeks in July, desperate for news from Le Show Beeg, give Charles a shout-out.
And if he comes off that bubble to call the Tour for us, think about plinking a dime or two in his tip jar by way of a thank-you. It ain’t often you see a lawyer working for tips.
• Full disclosure: I chime in from time to time during Charles’ live updates. But don’t let that deter you.

Hmmm … following the Tour with a guy with four decades of experience, or
… relying on the rocket surgeons at the Pro Bull Riding network to keep me up to date. Tough call.
Pro bull riding network is bull in more ways than one.
What’s this tour thing you speak of? Never heard of it.
And those photos of this OGWGFIW floating around the interwebs at the 2010 edition are completely photoshopped!!
That being said: I haven’t followed the tour with any interest since the early aughts. Back when they were doped to the gills and none to shy about it. Nevertheless I might cruise on by and see what Charles – and some humble narrator – are up to.
Goodness knows that what this sport needs is a lawyer commenting on bike races!! Much better than what passes for ‘commentary’ on other locales.
