After numerous e-mails, text messages, and a few cell phone calls Ed and I managed to meet up with an Australian friend who is staying just north of Mont Ventoux. We were able to take our coach out to a town at the base where we'd be picking up some of our group after they rode Ventoux, and our friend and his girlfriend rode there to meet us - had lunch and drinks, watched the Tour a bit on TV in a bar, and chatted for real rather than just online. So, pretty neat!
Tomorrow we leave for Toulouse with a detour to ride/watch the Tour go by live. Then there's the time trial on Saturday then the next mountain stages. Did I mention how happy I am that my favourite rider is currently in 4th? (though disappointed that another favourite had to drop out after missing the time cut a few days ago - not a climber and suffering from a prior crash in the race).
