Le Tour de France


Sunday was the final stage of the Tour de France. The stage that day started south of Paris and ended on the Champs Elysees. The riders did eight laps around a loop in Paris. We were able to walk right out from Fabien's apartment and watch the race a few blocks away. It was exciting to see Lance get his 6th tour victory, but bike racing is not much of a spectator sport. It is much better on TV. We got to see the peloton zoom by like this for 5-10 seconds each lap.
