A little later we met up with some guys from Velocity for their tailgate and then headed down to the finish line to secure a good watching spot. The riders went by five times in all and it was exciting to see the top three riders get in sprinting position toward the finish!
After it was over we headed to where all the team buses were parked and got to see Floyd Landis, Lance Armstrong, George Hincapie, and several other Tour de France riders!
The whole day Drew and I kept high-fiving each other saying, "We win!" (this is just something we do when something good happens........like getting a clutch parking spot OR seeing Lance Armstrong)
On the way home we ended up in front of a race official and a team car all headed south to San Diego for tomorrow's stage, KLOS played "Nightmoves,"** and we got tacos from Taco Rico. Needless to say, there was more high-fiving...
In front of the current standings board.
We were positioned about 300 meters from the finish line.
Us at the race with our Texas flag (thanks Mom & Dad)!
We loved this!
That is definitely Lance Armstrong in the yellow helmet..JPG)
George Hincapie signing autographs. He was the nicest guy for letting this kid through and onto the bus to check it out!
Headed to the car and in front of the ASTANA bus.
**Does anyone NOT love Bob Seger's "Nightmoves"?
So Awesome!!!! I can't even imagine seeing all of those guys racing! One of these days we have GOT to go to France and watch the Tour!
ReplyDeleteAnd, no, there can't possibly be anyone out there that doesn't love Bob Seger's "Nightmoves"!!
