Friends, rain, chocolate milk

We are in the final stage of the mountain climbing today for the tour. We have a major storm that rolled in yesterday, rain thunder and lightening. the police have closed the road to the top of the Tourmalet so looks like Phil and Paul will only be able to ride 1/2 way up. The President of France is arriving here also so could be part of the reason for the road closure. Phil is promoting his product here in France, chocolate Milk. He has
everyone convinced it's what they need! Phil with riders from, Canada, France, Holland! This is a busy town with people from all over. So our plan is to climb up to the castle today with our Fresno State flag and usually the helicopters sweeep down and cover the terrain especially the local castles, so look for us in the town Luz St
Sauveur, right before the climb to the Tourmalet at the end of the race day! Leaving tomorrow for Bordeaux for 2 nights and then into Paris for the finish! Bon Jour!
