July 14th - Tourmalet & Tour de France

Moira, Johnny & Patrick - Top of Tourmalet waiting for The Tour

Col De Tourmalet.  Tour day, lots of activity on the climb lots of fun. I really liked this climb and would do it again. Very long very tough.  We were very fortunate with the weather, no rain and a little sun shine.  Could not make the last 20m the police stopped me, will have to come back another time and complete the task.  I managed to descend to Lemonge (spelling) where I met the rest of the team had hot chocolate and watched the tour go by.  I thought I could climb, seeing these guys going past  drafting was a special experience.  Got a flat on the way up and leant my bike against the fence. Note to self be careful where you pee, could be a shocking experience.
