Lucy's last descent — for now

Thursday brought us our last ride in France this trip. Lucy, my white Cannondale ride, took me with John, Paul and Lance to a spot on the final climb on the Tour de France Stage 12. Lance climbed almost to the top while the three of us stayed a little lower to wait for the pre-race carnival then the race. We caught lots of loot (Margie will be jealous). It must have been a super tough day for the riders because they were all spread out by the time they got to us. Up close and in person, I recognized Vinocourov, Big George Hincape and Thomas Voekler. They grimace in person just like they do on TV!

Today we spend in Geneva, having major riding withdrawal, recounting our favorite parts of the trip: there are many, too many to poke out on my teeny iPhone keyboard. Stay tuned…
