We've made it the 'high point' of the 2009 Tour de France- Arcalis- at 2240 meters, this rarified air will take hold of our lungs, and our brains, like nowhere else during this year's racing.
No matter how often i travel to the precarious peaks of the Pyrenees, i'm always left in awe as the spectacular splendor unfolds around me. Sun, snow, flowers, field grass, and the odd frenetic fan dot the side of the road, and our oasis for the day, the TV compound, cuts through the blindingly blue sky as an odd 'homage' to technology amongst a sea of nature, painted over the course of millennia.
We are just visitors for a day- another good lesson to learn, whether traveling the Tour, or sitting at home.
