Good Morning! Today you should see me on Mont Ventoux chasing Lance as he makes his way up. The crowds are HUGE and cycling fans come in all shapes and sizes and usually in campers. They are also usually stinking cause its f-ing hot and they ain't had a shower due to aforementioned camper. I'm reminded that european hot is a whole new level of discomfort. They don't have freon or something so the A/C can cool a 2 cubic foot space from 84 deg to 78 deg but no further. I've slept on top of the sheets for the last 2 nights. At any rate, we're headed over to make a full day of it. Yesterday, Amy checked in our tour group. She was hoping to retrieve my saddle, seatpost, our pedals and a few other random things. Things have gotten worse over there for them. Its better for us. :) We met a couple of dudes from TN who are going to today's stage. There's also a couple from the UK that are hiking to the top of Ventoux. At the base of Alpe d'Huez, we met 3 guys from Alaska. One of them was roommates with Chuck Ambrose (prz of Pfeiffer) who we race against and ride with at Orr Rd.
