Tour de Fleece, takes place during at the same time as the Tour de France bike race. When the racers are spinning their wheels, hand spinners are spinning theirs. It has evolved to be a global challenge many hand spinners participate in.

Rules:

The goal is to spin every day the race is taking place, when the cyclists are doing time trials try and spin quickly, and when the cyclists are cycling through mountains, you challenge yourself with new learning or a technique that is also challenging.

The most important rule is to have fun!

This year, I am committing to hand spinning for 15 minutes every day and my mountain challenge is to improve my chain plying. You can download a tour de Fleece by right clicking on the image below and saving it to your files or taking a screen shot.
