The Tour de France
Okay, long time, no update. Alex and I went up to Strasbourg for the first stage of the Tour de France. It was freakin' sweet. We saw all of CSC's team bikes being built, and we managed to see most of the teams warm up. We even met Bobby Julich and saw Dave Zabriskie goofing around before race time.
During the time trial, we had a pretty sweet position near the finish line (150 m mark) and at one point, this guy came up and started video taping the riders behind us. We started chatting with him and then realized who he was: Christian Vandevelde! Holy crap, too cool. We were talking to a tried and true (albeit retired?) CSC cornerstone cyclist.
Now we're in the south of France. We hit Arles (boring, but we did see a bullfight) and Avignon (sweet theatre festival). Now we're headed to Nice to relax on the beaches for a few days before making our final tour through Italy. I'll update again soon!
