Col de La Madeleine

We were lucky enough to see the Tour on the Col de la Madeleine this year.  We rode up to the top and then watched the riders on a hairpin a couple of kms down.  It turned out to be a really exciting stage.  Here are a few pictures from the day.

Wow, looks like you picked a great spot.

DM must have forgotten to eat his readybrek that morning. Naughty boy =:o Still hopefully when the Tour went through Chabueil he managed to stop for a restorative omlette and chips.
