Front Seat at the Tour de France

Yesterday was the final day of the Tour de France, where the cyclists barrel down the homestretch at speeds up to 60 km/hr along the Champs Elysees. There were throngs of people there, so naturally we decided to turn out. I had originally planned on draping myself in an American flag and cheering American Floyd Landis on to victory, but my wife has instituted a no American flag policy in our household and I was flagless. Nonetheless, watching the riders was a great experiences! They go by fast, but fortunately they take 9 laps around the Champs Elysees so you get to see them several times and there's plenty of chances for picture-taking and cheering. We were standing along the Tuileries Gardens and got some interesting shots--with varying degrees of bluriness. Congrats to American (and Pennsylvanian) Floyd Landis, who can be seen with his head down in the maillot jeune (yellow jersey) at the end of this pack of Phonak riders.
