le TOUR de FRANCE
Waiting for the Tour - Biscou, July 24, 2003
|
In a quiet little village, about
40 kilometres from the end of the race, all the villagers had left their
homes to line the road along the course. Some had come with picnic baskets,
other's with backpacks, filled with fruits and cheese and drinks to
refresh and enjoy the day in the sun. Even a small skilled nursing home
set up a tent in anticipation of Tour. It's a big event in France, and
no one misses it if at all possible. This village is like all others
during the Tour, setting up roadblocks, refreshment stands, and banners
in anticipation of their day. It's a wonderful community event, not
to be missed!

In a blink of an eye, it's all
over. The wait may be several hours and in some locations, you have
to camp overnight to get a prime view. Then the cyclists zoom by in
less than a minute. C'est la vie!
