Up
early this morning to drive back up to Geneva Airport to collect
Tony, the second rider. Straightforward couple of hour drive and we
weren't stopped at the border this time. Found Tony and loaded his
bike into the van, then headed to Albertville for the registration
for L'Etape.
I'd
set my Sat Nav to 'avoid toll roads' as the cost of French péage
(toll motorway) was starting to mount up a bit. This meant that we
had a rather pleasant if challenging drive over some high passes in
the van.
Once
in Albertville we found the Parc
Olympique (Albertville
had hosted the Winter Olympics in 1992), and David and Tony
registered, collected their race numbers, etc, and we had a wander
round a big cycling show with lots of trade stalls.
After
that it was a drive back to Argentière,
unload and build up Tony's bike, then off to bed in preparation for
an early start on 'The
Big Day'.
Didn't
take any photos today, so here's the logo of the Etape. I had hoped
to be able to buy a sticker with this on it, but no luck.
