Symptoms may be subtle at first - restlesness, grumpiness and an irresistible desire to sniff suntan lotion - but can quickly develop into serious behavioral and cognitive disorders, such as random urges to climb walls and the inability to remember what green grass looks like. But not to worry. The researchers here at Backroads have uncovered the perfect cure for the winter-weary.

The Tour Anticipation Issue,
August 2009
What a race in 2009—we saw Armstrong's return to France, the battle for team leadership on Astana, a strong showing by the Schleck brothers and the rise of British sensation Bradley Wiggins. There is plenty to keep us wondering over the winter what 2010 will bring. That's why we're happy to present outstanding itineraries that take you into the heart of the action and give you an up-close taste of the passion, glory, excitement and downright craziness.
