The 2026 Tour de Fleece starts tomorrow!
For anyone who's new here, this is a world wide spinning challenge that runs alongside the Tour de France race. In 25 words or less, when the bike wheels are spinning, our wheels or spindles are spinning. Some people set specific challenges (I'm going to spin a pound of wool) and some set general challenges (I'm going to spin 15 minutes every day).
There is an official site for the Tour de Fleece and Punkin's Patch is one of the Wild Card Teams. There are some really fun sounding Wild Card Teams and you can join as many as you'd like. Follow the links for more information.
The Punkin's Patch - My Favorite Sheep team is a very laid back, but fun group of spinners of all skill levels. Several spinners also follow the race pretty closely and I've learned to really enjoy the race because of the discussions in our group.
You don't need to join a team if you don't want to. You can just set your own challenge and play quietly by yourself :-). If you'd like to report in with successes and struggles without joining the group, you can leave a comment(s) on this post or shoot me an email. If I can't help you, I can find someone who can!
Who's spinning this year?
