Alan and I got to watch the finish of the Tour de France on the Ave des Champs Elysees. We had to plant ourselves about 3 1/2 hours prior to the racers' arrival to get good seats! After arriving from the south and riding through Paris, they rode up and down the Champs Elysees 7 or 8 times to the finish line at the Place de la Concorde. Here's the leader wearing the yellow jersey.
He had a one minute five second lead going into the final stage, so he just had to stay with the rest of the pack to win the tour.

Um, is he adjusting your brakes at 30+ miles an hour??
