"Please, Take These Ideas" works like Chicago improv. We'll throw out an idea for a book/TV show/movie and from there whoever wants to take the idea, write it - hey, first come, first serve.

​

Here's the premise for "Tour de Forty" The main character is stuck in a dead-end job. He's not miserable, per se, but he's definitely bored. Every day feels like the same routine. Go to work. Stare at the computer. Come home. 

​

Then he decides to start cycling for 10, 20, 30 miles each morning before work. He gets hooked. Buys a more expensive bike. Goes all in on the helmet, spandex, bike shirt. All leading up to a new goal for his 40th birthday: I'm going to enter the Tour de France.

How does his wife and kids handle their dad's new pursuit? Feel free to write what's next!
