I used to ride this road near the Annecy lake quite frequently and it was with great envy that I watched the Tour de France time trial this week. This is Andy Schleck going faster that I ever did. I obviously never got the chance to ride it with the road closed although I did have some early morning rides where it was quiet by the lake, unlike on any summer weekend when doing the ride around the lake became more of a traffic management experience.
This year’s Tour was a great one and the organizers did a great job with the course, besides having the Tourmalet in the middle of a stage, which took it out of it usual key role. One of my favorite aspects of the Tour is the photographs. You have the classic ones that rapidly get boring, shot by AP photographers that need the ‘news’ shot, and then you have the creative ones.
My friend put me on to a great project by Brent Humphreys that all should check out, and then there’s the reliable Boston Globe Big Picture. They do an amazing job each year. Here are my favorites and, of course, you can head over there to see the rest.
