I’m participating in the 2013 Tour de Fleece! This is my first year for the event, so I’m going in on the white coloured Rookie team.

The Tour de Fleece was started by Star Athena back in 2006. Since then it has been hosted by several people and eventually found a home on Ravelry.

This year, the Tour de Fleece starts Saturday June 29th and runs until Sunday July 21st, 2013.

Guidelines (NOT RULES):

* Spin every day the Tour rides, if possible. Saturday June 29th through Sunday July 21st. Days of rest: Monday July 8th and Monday July 15th. (Just like the actual tour.)

* Spin something challenging on the challenge day (usually the toughest high mountain stage: this year, it’s Stage 18, on Thursday, July 18th, when they climb Alpe d’Huez twice).

* Wear yellow on Sunday July 21st to announce victory. Why not wear yellow on any day you feel particularly successful? (Yellow is the color of the race leader in the Tour – but here we are all ‘race leaders’)

* Other colors if desired: Green (sprinter – think FAST), Polka-dot (climber – as in uphill), and white (rookie)

I know I have a lot going on next month, so I’m trying to set some reasonable goals. I’m going to be traveling, so some of the spinning may be done on drop spindles.

My main goal is to spin between 30 and 60 minutes each day.
