France - Tour de France - July 2009




















The Tour de France has always a highlight on the yearly sporting calendar for me and as we love France, we thought, what the hey, let's go and see France, have a great time and check out Cadel and the rest of the riders at the tour.










We had just bought a tent and some various camping paraphernalia and off we went!

We were not really sure what to expect...how fast would they go? Would there be a breakaway? What would it be like?










It was brilliant!

We saw two stages - one, a really steep mountain stage and our car was part of the Tour as we had the 5 kilometre to Summet banner tied to our car. It was also really wet and a tad difficult to recognise the riders due to their rain jackets but hey, we were at le tour and it was bloody cool anyway.
Check the pics.
