Riding with Lour de France 2025. Get ready to hop on your bike for the exhilarating Lour to France 2025. I can hardly recall the moment I first became captivated by the tour to France. Each year, I eagerly hunt for the television channel broadcasting this spectacular event, settling in with a map of France spread across my lap as I watch the cyclists speed through the stunning landscapes of Label, France. My French friends often chuckle at my enthusiasm considering I’m not a cyclist and have never owned a bike. Unless you count the secondhand tricycle I had when I was about 4 years old. I simply brush it off by saying I am truly enamored with the beautiful scenery and the thrill of watching the riders in action on my way to Amy. Now picture my excitement when my friend France who resides in Amy sent me a message saying Of course, I was thrilled and immediately said yes. The race was set to begin in the heart of Amy with a fif meaning the cyclists would ride at a leisurely pace until they reached the city’s outskirts for the dear real on July 8. I found myself alongside France standing behind the barricades on Rude or Avenue de la Republic and Rud eagerly watching Christian in the lead car followed closely by the pelin. What an unforgettable experience reflecting on Land 2014. This moment brought back fond memories of my time as a tour maker during the Land Par in Yorkshire back in 2014. We showcased our breathtaking Yorkshire scenery to an audience of three and a half billion viewers across 188 countries. For my tour maker team, I baked Grandma Abson’s delightful lemon sandwich cake adorned with decorations inspired by the tour to France. Lemon sandwich cake recipe. Ingredients: three eggs and their weight in each of butter, castor sugar, self-raising flour. typically around 6 oz or 175 grams of each ingredient. Finely grated zest of one lemon. 1 teaspoon baking powder. Milk to mix, usually around 2 tablespoons. Instructions: Preheat your oven to 180° F mark for 350 F. Line the base of two 20 cm 8 in cake tins with non-stick baking or grease proof paper. Three, cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy using a food mixer or processor if you prefer. Four, bead the eggs and add them gradually, incorporating a tablespoon of flour if the mixture begins to hurdle. Five, sift the remaining flour and gently fold it into the mixture along with the lemon zest and enough milk to achieve a dropping consistency. This means the batter should be soft enough to fall from the spoon in a couple of seconds. Six, divide the batter between the two cake tins and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until the cakes start to pulled away from the sides. and a skewer inserted into the center kzaki. Seven. Allow the cakes to cool on tins for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

My ties to France trace back to the Yorkshire lead exchange when I was just 14 years old. This ambitious initiative involved hundreds of Yorkshire school children welcoming French penthouse into their homes for 3 weeks every July. The adventurous Yorkshire kids then embarked a long journey by train and boat to Leo where the French family were ready to show them around the NU and Peron. This experience marked my first taste of leis fr and the first time I ever rode a proper bike. It was here that my love for France blossomed. Perhaps this was also the moment I became hooked on the excitement of little de France. For more about Grandma Abson’s life, her passion for baking and her delightful recipes, you can visit her blog.
