2009 Tour de France Trip Reports
The 2009 Tour de France trip was with my friend Michael and we drove all over the place in a campervan. There was way too much driving, but lots of amazing riding. The 2009 Etape up Mont Ventoux was on our itinerary and that was a blast.

2010 Tour de France Trip Reports
I headed to France in 2010 after being very ill with hyperthyroidism (caused by Bonsoy soy milk of all things) and pretty unfit (I look quite overweight in the photos).

2011 Tour de France Trip Reports
In 2011, Kate and I headed to France and did the trip in a campervan, taking in northern Spain as well. We did too much driving, probably, and didn't see as many touristy things as we'd have like.
