A few more photos

We stayed at the top of the hill at Gerardmer la Mauselaine where Stage 8 will finish. A bit of hostel slum-tourism for some of our fancier tour riders. Fabulous views down to the lake.

A shit scared Dugong on the morning of Stage 1 of Le Tour.

Didn't know my Garmin could count so high!

I though Stage 9's profile looked scary. Until I saw Stage 10. I've now decided to nap through the stage briefings, since they just scare the shit out of me.
