Today was the team time trial. We were still a little late to the party - five hours before the first team started, the sides of the roads were already crowded with cars of people tailgating and waiting. We found a spot in a vineyard at the 2nd time check (can you feel Sperry telling me what to write….). We were prepared with a cooler of beer – and our lunches (PB&J – oh yeah!).
We only got to ride a little bit – just enough to see that the course was going to be tough in our section - not flat – and some sharp turns. We headed back to the car and waited….
As usual – the caravan rolled through (we have lots of swag to share when we get home!) – the big yellow guy that has been following us went by - then the action started.
Our spot was great – we hung out and chatted with some very nice French folks all day (my french to english dictionary is very helpful) – Sperry got pictures of all of the teams as they came through. We are just posting a few – if you have a favorite team let us know and we will email a photo to you.
