Tour de France 2014

Once again some excitement for our 7th consecutive journey to Tour de France in watching the launch this evening. As with 2013 we begin our journey on the Gold Coast with a Half Marathon (or Marathon).

The course 2014 encapsulates many memories from all the years we have made the journey...so I add a few pictures.

Nine sectors of cobbles, the first big test near the foret of Arenberg.

Pla-D'Adet, not used since 2005 (see map TDF).

Planche des Belle Filles...where I met Claude and Virginie.

Gerardmer...I did orienteering there in 1986.

I LOVE EPERNAY...who could not love champagne?

Hautacam...let's forget the drug cheat Ricco and replace with???

Almost forgot I get to visit Paris and Arenberg in Avril for Marathon de Paris et Paris Roubaix...pour qua?

A great memory from such a great event.
