Tour

[gerbie]

The Tour de France started today. Looking forward to 3 weeks filled with cycling. Today 70+ people handed in their fantasy team at my parents home where we always sit and discuss before the first stage. Tonight 9 of us had an auction at my home. Great fun with plenty of laughter. Cancellara was a nice surprise today.

14 days from now I will interrupt my visit to my students to stand on a mountain in the Pyrenees and watch my heroes go past.

I love this time of the year.

Nope. Alpe D'Huez is a funfair, imho there are way too many fans there that are not real cycling fans. For work I'll be in north Spain and in the south of France, hence the Pyrenees are a logical choice.
