We're at 7,5 km to go to the summit of Col de la Colombiere -- today's final of five climbs, and it's going to be intense. From the pictures, you can see that we're parked in this field by the town of Le Reposoir, eating delicious pizza made fresh by Lino in his truck (four cheese brick oven pizza for 8 Euros), and enjoying beers with these crazy Dutch guys dressed in costumes that you'll no doubt see featured in the Versus TV coverage today.
It's been raining on and off today (now featuring thunder), and currently, we're back sitting in our car waiting another hour or so for the caravan to roll through town.
We stopped at one of the cycling jersey vendors on the road into town, and I found one of the increasingly rare Slipstream Chipotle jerseys from last season... you know, the one with the burrito in the back pocket. Well, on our way back to the car, we saw one of the Garmin vans driving up the road and when Angel held up the jersey, he stopped and handed us a used Garmin waterbottle, and those are nice waterbottles (check them out on the Slipstream website). Typically I don'ttake someone's used dishware with such excitement, but (1) it's a Garmin waterbottle and (2) I don't plan on using it until we've washed it three or four times.
Now, how long does it plan on raining, and how wet will be get today?
