Bastille Day. Right before the shot cuts away you will see my wife on the left side of the street in pink Capri pants, orange tank-top with a white longsleeve shirt underneath and a King of the Mountains cap jumping up and down screaming. I’m a bit more camouflaged across the street in long khakis and a light blue shirt (not the ideal combination to pop in this crowd). I’m taking a photo of the riders while the lady next to me is in khaki short and a white longsleeve t-shirt jumping up and down (and leaving the frame when the commentator says “couldn’t”).

Tour de France 2004 - Stage 9
Again we’re standing on the left side of the street about halfway between the 50 and 25 meter-to-go banners (when the video first begins the banner on the left is the 50). My wife is wearing her orange tank-top with white longsleeve shirt underneath and dark blue jeans, while I’m standing to her left in a yellow t-shirt and khakis—we’re looking down the street towards the approaching peloton. We come into the frame with the word “neither”.

Tour de France 2004 - Stage 6
This is the first ever stage we caught of the Tour. On the left side of the street/screen as the video begins, you will see two people standing next to a car with red coats (that’s not us). My wife and I are the next two people standing about five feet from the back of our silver Mercedes that has the hatch up. You can hear my wife’s high-pitched yell over the commentary. Can’t understand why friends couldn’t easily see us on that one.
