Tour de Awesome

So I just got back from the Tour de France. It was amazing. I saw the individual time trials which was great because we got to see each rider go by individually with their entourage. First a parade of vehicles came by from all of the sponsors throwing stuff at the crowd. Basically the entire day was a parade, an eight hour parade. We got to see Lance twice. The first time he rode by we didn't really know it was him. We saw some guy wearing a complete livestrong getup- but the race hadn't started yet and he was talking to someone else. but as soon as he rode by we knew it was him and he smelled really good. A leisure lap. Then we saw basically 180 riders. Each had their own policeman as well as several cars following them. A great experience. Anyone want to join me next year???
