After about a week of cycling during a Grand Tour, the riders get to take the day off. But it's not just lounging in french cafes, or, if you happen to be an overall contender, enduring the same questions in a handful of languages at the pool press conference. The cyclists will still ride one to two hours to keep the blood flowing into their overused leg muscles. That's about 25 to 50 miles on a "rest" day.
