It is really dumping outside as we sit in our car outside a laundromat in LaGrave, waiting for our clothes to dry. We had planned a short ride today but not in this muck and certainly not on one of the “cliff” roads with sheer drop offs! Thankfully this rain is a one-day gig; it’s going to be pretty nice for the three stages in the Alps and the Grenoble time trial.

After yesterday’s ride, we feel like a day off the bike won’t kill us.

Update: In Bourg d’Oisons at the foot of the Alpe d’Huez, shopping for supplies for next couple of day’s rides. It’s cleared up and now we wish we had our bikes! But we can still get in the ride on the cliff road the morning of the Alpe d’Huez stage. We can still hit all the items we’d planned.
