I cycled up the 21 bends on Alpe d’Huez today to grab more photos of the last part of the road climb and the start and finish of the run section. There were a lot of tired bodies out there.

We have had a fantastic week here in Bourg d’Oisans with our 7 aussie guests staying for our Tour de France cycling week.
For our last ride today i became an honoury aussie with a complete team kit.
Day 2 of our Tour de France week took us to Laffrey. Again our 7 australian guests got the kangaroos out
A few of our guests attempted the Alpe d’Huez timetrial today which traditionally takes place the day after La Marmotte.
The great thing about our house is that its 100 metres from the start line so once we had sorted all our guests out with breakfast we go and watch the hour long start of La Marmotte.
