Throw-back-Thursday

It's that time of year again!!  Tour de France 2014!!

Two years ago, Larry and I had the thrill to take part in the last week of the race.

We started in the beautiful city of Pau in the south of France

The caravans ahead of the riders are quite interesting!!

We left from Pierrefitte and got in some climbing through the Pyrenees Mountains

We conquered Col du Tourmalet

Took off the next morning in the fog, terrifying!!

 Col d'Aspin

 

Just 2 of the MANY crazies

Stopped in Bordeaux

And Saint Emilion

Tested the fruit of the vine

Time trial in Chartres

Totally stalking!!

 Christian

 Big George

Cadel

And finally Paris, on a new bike

 Awesome ride down the Champs Elysees without a car in sight

Circled the pyramid

Watched the finish from the grand stand
