Good job, Hipcycler!
Our local bike club holds a "Tour de Fluff" during the 3 weeks of the TdF. Keeping in mind that most of our members are 50+, we aim for at least 10% of the daily mileage of the tour and at least 25% of the speed. Therefore we are doing the "fluff" mileage while the riders in TdF are doing the hard work.
Since many of our members are still working (not retired yet) and have differing schedules, we usually don't ride together, so no peloton.
The real goal is to ride every day that the TdF riders are on the road. Gives one an appreciation for the dedication to the sport.
