Bikes, Fast Bikes!

Isn't that Lance smiling for MY camera?

A blur...but the sound is soooooo cool!

Thor, the Norwegian favourite.

Last I wrote I believe I was heading out to the Tour de France! That seems like eons ago as that is one long day of standing around. But well worth it! And the "Thor" fans from Norway kept us greatly entertained over the day by cheering on every police officer that walked by as well as by staying lively and well dressed. They seemed to be the most committed fans in terms of dress and flags. We Canadians stuck together though! There were a small group of us close to the finish line with a great view for about 8 loops of the riders. Quite incredible to see the movement in the group over that gap of time. I was more interested in perfecting the art of a good movement photograph; my post will tell! And my cycling friends will likely be able to identify those riders in the photos (did I catch Lance???) Many more photos of blurry movement and some clearer than that for those who are really interested!
 It was exciting to be a part of such fanfare (lucky me, for a second time in my life!). And that, was another day in Paris!
