Saturday we had the Vestals over for dinner, funny how we have to come half way around the world to find time to hang out with our friends :) Zack works for Mavic, and Caitlyn got some vacation time away so they're here for about two weeks. Dinner was awesome, they are so much fun to hang out with! In fact, we're going over to their place tonight. I hope we get to do some riding with them as well, Caitlyn is super fast at the moment, which is not unusual in the slightest...she just got 4th in some big mtn bike race in Colorado. Hopefully they won't be too annoyed at waiting for me.
The Dauphine started this week as well. We went to the first stage in Champery Switzerland. It was fun to see a grand tour that isn't as insane as the Tour. Some video clips for your enjoyment:
Today we caught up with the time trial, apparently Contador had a super bad race....I wasn't really paying attention :) Caley was a little disappointed, apparently there weren't really any new bikes being debuted. He thought there would be more new stuff to get pictures of. We did get to hang out with Simon and Tom from some British cycling company, don't remember the name. We had them over for dinner last night as well. It's so fun to know people in different countries, I invited them back for when the Tour passes through the area, we'll have to track down more chairs...
Other than that, we've been reading, riding, writing, bocce playing, cooking, sightseeing, and generally enjoying life!
Here are some pics, I will try to caption them as the internet allows..:)
