France and Back
So it has been a week of rest at home preparing for the Tour of California. The racing in France was pretty unbelievable. Starting in little towns racing through little towns finishing in little towns. It was great to see fans and in each town that loved the sport. It was the most fun I have had in the gutter I think…The last day was one of the best days of racing I have had. Not that the race went well for me, but it was a real bike race as it was meant to be.
The finishing circuit in particular was something to behold. The loop took us through a french town with all kinds of character. It rolled through these little winding roads and under a bridge that looked like an aqueduct from the roman empire. Then up this climb that turned into cobbled classic style finish…people pressed up against shop windows and cheering.
Now back in vancouver the weather is getting into the upper teens and the rides are starting to go a little longer than planned rather than shorter. It is a good time of year to be a bike rider…Well it is always a good time to be a bike rider…I just think this is one of the best.
