Inquiries from around the globe having been pouring in concerning whether or not Le Tour de Fritter will be held this year. After last month’s disastrous turn of events when widespread use of banned substances resulted in its last-minute cancellation, it was not clear whether organizers had the wherewithal or stomach to sponsor another Tour. Yet, as with so many of the world’s most prestigious traditions, the history and grandeur of Le Tour cannot be overcome by a momentary scandal. So it is with great joy that we announce that the 3rd Annual Le Tour de Fritter has been rescheduled for Sunday, April 29, 2012. The Prologue competition begins at 0830, with the rollout for Stage 1 at 0900. Come early to get a jump on the competition! The course will be the same as originally planned, details of which may be here.
Note that we have been working round the clock to establish and enforce strict doping controls. We are carefully reviewing the biological passports of all potential riders, and any irregularities will be reported to the UFI (Union Fritteriste Internationale) and WASA (World Anti-Statin Agency) for disciplinary action. Don’t be surprised if one of your fellow cyclists “just happen” to decide to ride the Chico Wildflower Century or the Nevada City Tour, or maybe comes down with a sudden allergy or cold. We all know the truth of the matter.
We look forward to welcoming you all to a clean and competitive 2012 Tour de Fritter, and especially watching you all suffer. Stay tuned to this and other official TDF media outlets for additional details of the competition. As a parting note, we would like to tip our fritter to Mr. James Pavlichek and Ms. Elizabeth Matthews, who so graciously plied us and several dozen randonneurs with deep-fried goodness this past Saturday. Their efforts will be richly rewarded…assuming they manage to finish the race. The wise TDF rider will take notice and emulate.
