Photos from TDF yesterday
The caravan is nutty. These odd floats had just decended about 1000m on tight wet roads that were challenging enough on a road bike. The rider is Heinrich Haussler (spelling not checked), the eventual stage winner & brother of one of our tour companions, amazing.
Vista from Lutry Switzerland
The mountains in the background are in France.
Update from Ensisheim France
We are in Ensisheim France tonight, tomorrow we ride out for 40km to
join the Tour route for the last 60km over a few decent category 2 & 3
climbs.
View Larger Map I am getting closer to getting the hire bike (carbon synapse) dialed
in, but am very much wishing I was riding my own bike. I wasn't
thinking that though as the bike copped a bucked rear rim from being
shunted by another rider on our 'easy' 40km shake down loop, nor when
hearing of 2 other personal bikes that were badly damaged in transit. Having trouble with GPS & internet connectivity pretty much since we
landed and are on the go constantly (& loving it) so have given up on
tracking routes or updating :-) Can't even upload pics at the moment,
might try later? Having a blast and am loving living the dream thus far. Au revoir
