1. On the tour: July 20, 2004 - Day 2

First day of tour viewing. Because of rain, we went up the reverse of what we did day one to see race at Col de Limouche (1045 meters). Mike got up to top. Stu was an hour late because of mechanical problems and they had closed last km, so he joined tour group 1 km below. Wonderful crowd along the route, cheering every cyclists going up including us. We felt like champions even though, for me I was crawling along at 8-9 km/h up the hill.

First experience with caravan of cars and trucks from tour sponsors that proceed the tour. Saw lance and the postal boys. Just great! they go by you in a flash, had a wild decent with all the cyclist and cars going down the mountain.
