Obligatory TdF day ride up the Tourmalet. Usual madness & great atmosphere, although it looks oddly quiet here! grin

TdF Grand Depart is in Italy this year so... topical post ride refreshments while watching today's stage. Cheers! grin

July mode engaged! After tapping out 100km+ on the TdF route this morning time to relax & see how the pros do it.

TdF Tourmalet day. Great atmosphere. No rain but maybe not so later? grin Loving my #FullyPro sunny placement - LOL! grin

Love randomly finding finish line graphics from a TdF stage on the road: 2021 stage 14 in Quillan so nice & fresh!

Short ride up little hill with a million of my closest friends Tourmalet on TdF day. Absolute insanity! Love it!

First spotted on Hautacam in 2014... authorities bust our inflatable kangaroo for overstaying his visa! #harsh sad

With no GC contender to protect @tinkoff_saxo were just out having fun!

Seconds before Jack Bauer somehow found energy to wheelie up one of steepest parts of the climb. Real crowd pleaser!

Yelling at @richie_porte & confusing @TrekFactory Hope 'roo & flag was what brought the smile Richie. #GoAussie grin

@vincenzonibali cool as a cucumber as the peloton passed. Teammate Fulsgang, 3 minutes down after a job well done.

Much amusement was had when inflatable walrus met inflatable kangaroo. And yes - we kept it clean!

Here comes the caravan! Luckily we picked the right side to avoid a soaking! Hot as it was, might not have been best.

At a sports event show your colours. Aussies go down better in France than Brits (funny that!), so let's go that way!

Who'd have known watching strangers pass by on a hill was so entertaining. Note guy on a chopper: More of that later!

Pratiwi on the walk up Hautacam & shady bank where we chose to wait. Great spot. Pays to start early (9am at bottom).

Hautacam climb at 3 days to go. Sorry for bad picture, don't have my big lens & is from bedroom window of our gite grin

Picking out a jersey for today's ride: Hardly a tough choice! Can't wait until tonight's stage! #MontVentoux #TdF
