One of the first thing we did upon arriving in Switzerland was plan a week long trip in France to follow the Tour and ride our bikes through the Alps, however at the last minute our trip was cancelled by the organizers with whom we had planned our travel. After failed attempts to rebook with other bike touring companies we decided we would go it alone. The Tour de France is the most famous bicycle race in the world, spanning 2,200 miles over 23 days. The TDF was started in 1903, like with so many great ideas, as a publicity stunt...to sell news papers. For both Amy and I to watch this epic bicycle race live was an opportunity of a life time. Being only a 3 hour drive from the most epic stage, of the most epic race in the world, we would be crazy not to go. So with all of the hotels fully booked and not really sure where L'alpe d'huez was (thank goodness for GPS) we set out for France with our tent and sleeping bags.

Scott, what a great experience...I thought I saw you and Amy on TV, but I did not see the little dogs tough.....
Isn't there a tour company you can actually ride the stages a week after the tour?
This stage was great and Sastre did an awesome job. You probably missed his escape from the pack, it needed two tries and CSC team killed the competition
You should send this to Rusty Ortiz....
All the best man. Take care and say hi to Amy
Scott,
I'm glad Jacob and I got to meet you and Amy on the mountain last week. Thanks for showing us the shortcuts down and for being fellow Chipotle/Slipstream/Garmin supporters!
Bummer that drive down the mountain took so long, hope you both had an easy drive back to the land of the Swiss.
Cheers, Bob
