HELP ME TO SUPPORT THE PARALYMPIC ATHLETES

PARRABUDDY.BLOGSPOT was started to help find a way for “Adaptive / Physically Challenged / Paralympic Cyclists ” to enjoy riding their bikes on the Daily Route of the famous Pro Tour Race Routes such as the “ Giro d’Italia " and the " Tour de France " !


Through lack of support i have been unable to achieve that goal and unless people decide to assist there is little chance that my 22nd season will be any more successful !


Tokyo2020 Paralympics was amazing for ALL , not just those participating but those who followed via the Media !


Since 2009 several other Blogs have been created to cover various other subjects !

Below is a guide to their separate purposes :

In the main Parrabuddy is about “Adaptive / Physically Challenged Sport” and Health Issues.


Skippi-cyclist is about personal issues and Road Safety Issues.


SkippyAus is about matters relating to Oz and some personal memories from my life there.


Tourdafarce & Tourdafrance are about matters relating to the Pro Tour , Racers and some personal experiences during my various visits to ride the Pro Tour routes .


Skippy (blogging) is about a variety of issues on the Internet .


NOT ALL postings arrive in their correct area but I will generally try to separate my views on Doping and Sporting Fraud from Road Safety Issues .



Comments ARE WELCOMED since this shows that those reading are interested in the subject matter ! Enjoy comments made to other blogs so wonder why only " anonymous " posts here !

Over the period of these "Blogs" I have had visibility on Twitter as “Skippydetour” and on Facebook as “Skippy Mc Carthy” where Google usually advise postings on the Blogs as they occur .

When any of you visit these Blogs I hope I am able to add value to your day and provide a source of information if not inspiration . Please consider asking your friends and contacts to add their support as many of the Para Athletes are struggling to find the resources to compete in Events at regional Levels let alone National Levels .


You the reader have the possibility to help these Amazing Athletes in your own way and contacting your National Paralympic Internet Site for relevant info is a good start !

Lance on Voeckler

Interesting to read Lance's thoughts on Thoma !

If Voeckler makes it to the top w/ the leaders today then we have to say he can win the TdF. He's got 2 mins and they can't shake him.

Lots of ?'s on Voeckler's chances for overall victory in Paris.... my thoughts.

lancearmstrong Lance Armstrong
He wasn't "swinging off the back" 2day. He was 1 of the strongest. The others weren't assertive and/or aggressive enough 2 make a selection.

He has 2:06 on Evans. Final TT is 42km. He's French. It's the Tour de FRANCE. He won't lose 2:06 in the final time trial ASSUMING...

He keeps them close on Alpe d'Huez. His teammate Pierre Rolland has been a rockstar and has to continue to be.

Lastly, the dude knows how to suffer. Will be fun to watch. Enjoy


Personally i have ridden with Thoma many times including the rest day in Limoges and i am surprised that he was able to slip under the radar as a " possibility " for podium at this TDF !

President Sarkozy will come to the TDF in the next days and regardless of what happens the rest of this week there will be an invitation to the " Elysee Palace " and perhaps the " Legion D'Honneur " for Thoma !

ALL of France is electrified by Thoma's success and after 27 years of little success in winning the " Maillot Jeune " there are now hopes like those heaped on " Tim Henman & Andy Murray at Wimbledon !

The favourities have been depleted by accidents and bad luck so there will be fierce and sustained efforts in the Alps in the next days !

Like to think Cadel has a chance but Thoma will die fighting !
