Tour de France final day (Paris) photos

A few post-race photos (and a couple during) in Paris, after the TdF concluded. While Kevin and I planned and rode this trip on our own, we did utilize Trek Travel's awesome final-day option at the Auto Club, which allowed us to literally get onto the course, nobody in front of you, rather than 6-deep somewhere along the Champ Elysees. Great food, drink, but mostly fantastic positioning to see the race itself. And afterward, we got to spend quite a bit of time with the Trek Factory Riders themselves.
