Dutch corner

Today I had the chance to see the tour de France live again. I started the day by riding the alpe d'hues again. This time was much slower because of all the other bikers, fans, cars and campers. After getting to the top I rode most of the way back down to Dutch corner. The Dutch are huge cycling fans and they have claimed the alpe d'hues as their own. Their is one corner that is just packed full of people dressed in orange singing, chanting, dancing, and drinking. It's probably the craziest most populated part of the whole tour. That's where I stoped to watch the tour. It was very fun and exciting. The riders have to part a sea of orange and I was standing right their taking pictures as the flew past. Getting back down had potential to be bad but everything worked out great. I had a really good day. I was nervous about all the riding. I decided that I would never do the maximum riding option because I didn't want to kill my self. Now it basically over and I can't believe it. I have really enjoyed this trip and I can recommend everyone take a bikeing tour and visit the alps because my pictours and discription will never do it justice! I love this place. Bye bye
