Geneva to Bouge, France

Not a lot of time for a blog today. We had an interminable dinner-3 hours and counting. The dinner was exquisite, but the usual slow French service where they make a drama out of food. We are bikers not food experts. I am sorry for the brief report.

You can tell in the one pic that we are a little lost. 28 riders and we know all of 23 French words....combined that is.

Today will be a hard climbing day with us climbing first Col De la Ramaz and then Avoriaz. I'll have to ck the spelling later today. The last climb is a mountaintop finish for the pros. We will be at the finish line cheering them on. I think we have about 8000 plus feet of climbing today. For you non bikers this is a tough one. Prior to the finish there are famous Tour de France landmarks. It will be most interesting climbing with all of the crazy drunken screaming fans. Should at least get the adrenaline flowing.

We will not get in until late tonight as we try to get off the mountain. Hope all is well. Legs don't fail me now. Iwill try to amend this post later.
