Home, but not the end of the "Adventures"

Yes, we made it home last night - while stopped over in Toronto we couldn't help thinking that maybe we should have gone back to London as the flying time from London to Edmonton is the same as Paris to Toronto (but then you have another 3-4 hours back from Toronto to Edmonton). Bikes seem fine, more importantly the "Cote du Ventoux" wine is fine ;-).

I'm not finished with the blog entries, though - I do plan to put up more details and some photos, as well as some FAQ-type stuff that I had a hard time finding before our trip (like "Eurostar and bikes", or "How to ride from Arras to Vimy Ridge and not get lost", or "Where exactly does the Tour finishing circuit go on the Champs Elysees?", or "How we packed our bikes so that they survived Air Canada"). So stay tuned.

In the meantime, it seemed that quite a number of our random peloton shots included Tom Boonen (or maybe he was just easier to pick out as leader of the green jersey competition, perhaps there's another rider we photographed just as much but haven't recognized yet). So, here's one of those shots (which includes the then-yellow-jersey wearer Fabian Cancellara as well):
