In Sauze D'Oulx, Italy, we
stayed alongside the ski slopes at the Refugio Ciao Pais. We were served an incredible dinner and breakfast! |

Col
D'Izoard was an hors categorie climb in this year's Tour de
France. We rode the route the day before the Tour riders.
People had already parked their RV's in prime viewing spots. |

One
of the magical experiences of our trip was riding the Alpe D'Huez a few
hours before the Tour riders. At the top, we had an awesome
vantage point at the round-a-bout 500m from the finish line. |
