Tour de France - Annecy

The last stage of the Tour that I saw was the time trial in Annecy. France. After riding back from the Col to Leysin, we drove to Annecy and camped out after watching the time trial. We actually did a team time trial run the day of the Tour after it was finished. We picked up a Norwegian dude on the route and he rode with us. The five of us took turns with the front pull and made it around the time trial loop in one hour 17 minutes. Contador did it in 47 minutes. Pictures of our sunset time trial ride are soon to come so stay tuned for those. The picture below is our 23:00 dinner after the sunset time trial with a sprint finish. We were too tired to go down into the town for food so we scavenged all the food from the cars and made do with that. Notice, we're picnicing in the road....some crazy Australians who were clueless about camping, parked their car in our campsite and we had nowhere else to sit and eat but the road.
