Day 8 - Alpe d'Huez Stage Finish
A stage finish on Alpe d'Huez must be the ultimate cycling spectator event. Well over half a million people line the road and the village on top. We all wandered around, absorbing the atmosphere and finding vantage spots. It is such an international event with huge contingents of Dutch, German, Italian, Norwegian and Danish fans. We bumped into quite a few South Africans, in particular a group that took over an entire floor of a hotel overlooking the last 500m. That night the village was bursting at the seams and we in typical fashion took over a restaurant in terms of noise volume and consumption until closing time.
